How To Use Christmas Trees In Your Garden
Christmas is a ceremonious festival all around the world
. People will celebrate Christmas in different kinds of ways. Christmas trees are essentials of this festival.Christmas trees can be a real conundrum. Is that true? Which has the least environmental impact, and how can we lessen any impact our tree has on the planet? Tell the true, the option with the least impact is the one Mickey Z. suggests: dont get a tree.
For some people, though, the holidays just arent the holidays without something upon which to drape garlands and those antique glass ornaments from our grandma. We can select a living tree, and plant it out in the yard when the holidays are over. Or we can buy a cut tree from an organic tree farm, and then recycle it. Better yet, that tree can be used in your garden.
Here I introduce some tips to you how to use Christmas trees in your garden:
1. Cut the branches off and lay them over perennials in your garden. This will provide protection from temperature fluctuations and prevent the plants from heaving out of the soil.
2. If you want to use all the branches, youll be left with a trunk. Dont get rid of it! Ive used the trunks from a few of our holiday trees to make teepees to grow beans on, rustic fences, and as supports for shade covers and floating row covers.
3. You can cut the branches up into smaller pieces and use them to mulch your beds or garden paths. Dont think you need a big, gas-guzzling chipper for this! I use a pair of trusty bypass pruners, and snip a few branches into pieces each time I go out into the garden. It takes a little more time, but its free, easy, and doesnt have any impact on the environment.
4. Make a home for the birds. Once youre done with it indoors, remove the decorations and place your tree, stand and all, out in the yard. Birds will find it and use it as shelter during the winter months. In spring, once the birds dont need it anymore, either chip it up or lay it on its side in a part of your yard where it can serve as a brush pile for other backyard wildlife.
5. Cut the branches off and use them at the base of a fresh compost pile. Its a good idea to have coarser materials, like tree branches, at the bottom of the pile because it helps increase air flow to the pile.
Being green doesnt mean getting rid of the beloved traditions in our lives. It means making new traditions, and really thinking about how we can green those traditions. Reusing a holiday tree is one easy way to do that.
It is interesting to make up your home at Christmas Day. Christmas trees can make the festival atmosphere happier. Different people have different ways to celebrate Christmas. I hope all of you learn to use Christmas trees reasonably.
