Can't be right, can it?

Morning all, i'm pretty sure in my time on this rock, i've heard somewhere about using the contents of your hoover mixed in with compost for tomatoes, anybody else come across this or know of any truth in it? Many thanks 

The contents of hoover bags must vary considerably with individual habits (and what sort of carpets they have - man-made materials will not decompose even if added to the compost heap, and if you are fond of chucking your food all over the floor and then hovering it up you run the risk of attracting vermin.)

Can't see the point of adding uncomposted material to tomato compost, although that doesn't mean there isn't one! 

It's about human and pet hair!  Slugs do not like it at all, so began the practice of putting hair from the hairdressers sweepings around the tops of the grow bags. Somewhere the message might have got lost in translation, as these things often do 

The Hoover bag contents are full of dust and it would be a mess I think to put this around your plants. I would definitely empty it out of the bag and put it in the compost bin.  I say empty it out advisedly as I fished out a full bag from my own bin the other day. The bag was intact apart from a few minor holes 

I think the hair itself stays in the compost rather than composting down with all the rest of the contents. If you look at the finished compost you'll find hair and eggshells.  What an interesting life I lead
