Uncommon frugal living uses for a Christmas Tree.
Frugal Living Tips
Plant protector - Cut off
the branches of an unwanted tree and cover flowerbeds with them; they
may not look very attractive, but they will help to keep animals off
of your flower and vegetable
beds.
Outdoor lighting - keep your Xmas tree in a garden tub throughout the year, and decorate it with lights for a party.
Bird Shelter - When you've finished with your Xmas tree, replant it at the bottom of your garden as a shelter for birds. They'll be especially grateful if you keep the tree festooned throughout the cold winter months with bird treats such as sunflower or sesame seeds, popcorn or whole peanuts.
Dog repellent - Cut off
the branches of an old Xmas tree and position them vertically around
young tree trunks. It may help to discourage dogs from fouling them.
