Abstract
A process and apparatus is disclosed for utilizing African American hair removed from a person's scalp as a fertilizing agent with superior results in enhancing the growth of plants and, specifically, for speeding the photosynthesis process. Unprocessed hair removed from the scalp of African American people appears dead and dry but, in fact, includes moisture near the base, fiber, and melanin capable of holding the water for slow release later. Collected hair may be deposited into a specialized cleaning assembly for cleansing, infusion with fertilizer, and agitated for needle felting into a mat, balls, or powder for application to the roots of a plant for slow release of water and fertilizer held in the hair so that the plant receives melanin protein.

An apparatus for enhancing growth of a plant, comprising:
- a cleaning assembly having a housing that defines an opening in fluid communication with an interior area capable of receiving a plurality of hair fibers via said opening into said interior area,
- said cleaning assembly having an agitator situated in said interior area and electrically coupled to a motor, said agitator configured to rotate when said motor is energized for cleansing said plurality of hair fibers;
- wherein said agitator has a shape configuration that intertwines said plurality of hair fibers into at least one bundle when actuated;
- a fertilizer bin in fluid communication with said cleaning assembly for containing a liquid fertilizer;
- means for infusing said liquid fertilizer into said at least one bundle;
- a mat formed of said infused bundle bonded to a plurality of thread fibers.
