BuUdmgss Place Ontario Christmas trees don't outlive outlive their usefulness when the holiday season is over. If you leave your tree beside a bird feeder in your backyard it will provide welcome shelter for chickadees, nuthatches and other small birds. Start another holiday tradition, tradition, have the children or students decorate the tree again, this time- hanging special treats from it for the birds. Strings of popcorn and cranberries, cranberries, suet balls stuffed with seeds or balls of peanut butter mixed with oatmeal flakes will provide a feast on cold January mornings for such winter birds as blue jays, purple finches and juncos. If you set your tree outside for the birds don't forget to take off all the tinsel. Birds try to cat the shiny objects and it can make them sick. The branches and needles of a Christmas tree make a good mulch at home in the garden, especially for plants like rhododendrons which like an acid soil. Municipalities in Durham Durham Region gather up the Christmas trees on special collection days and put them through shredders which chop them up into small pieces. This mulch is then used in the summer on the flower beds in city parks. Christmas trees arc biodegradable, biodegradable, so they will break down and become part of the soil again. The nutrients contained in an old tree might one day end up as part of a new Christmas tree in the future.
