Philips OneBlade is launching a ‘Hairy Harvest’ vegetable patch in London Fields park in Hackney for two days only. The inspiration behind it is the fact that body hair is nutrient-rich and acts as a great fertiliser - the cheeky provocateur of the male grooming sector.
As green-fingered gardening enthusiasts focus their attention on the annual, boujee flower show in Chelsea, Philips is going against the grain and challenging the status quo to highlight an alternative, surprising, and more cost-effective way to grow fruit and veg - especially as the price of food shopping continues to skyrocket!
The pop-up is free to attend and will feature four hairy sections: a stubble patch, a pecs patch, a back garden, and even a pube patch showcasing rows of produce such as tomatoes, cabbage and potatoes, to depict how abundantly fruitful growing your own fruit and veg can be - using soil fertilised with hair from any part of the body - including those short and curlies in the ‘nether regions’ between your legs - as a smaller, alternative to another big flower show on the other side of town.
Visitors can get their facial hair trimmed, edged or shaved by a professional barber complimentary and can also take away the hair that they would normally toss away, so they can experiment with growing their own produce at home using their body hair as the ultimate DIY fertiliser.
Other goodies such as gardening seeds, free products and discounts will also be given away, to give people a further helping hand to succeed at growing their own ‘Hairy Harvest’ at-home veggie patch.
Fiona Atkins, Male Grooming Lead at Philips said: “It’s no secret that the cost of food shopping keeps rising and more and more people are looking at how they can start growing their own produce at home. So, we wanted to highlight the little-known fact that body hair is the perfect nutrient-rich DIY fertiliser to help brits in their gardening endeavours. As our Philips OneBlade 360 allows you to trim, edge or shave any length of hair more effortlessly than ever, we wanted to empower the nation to stop letting their discarded hairs go down the drain and put them to good use by bringing our findings to life with our fun, free pop-up for anyone curious about starting their very own hairy harvest in their back garden.”
