Every January, most people drag their Christmas tree to the curb and forget about it. But that tree is actually useful. Every part of it can be repurposed around your home and garden instead of becoming trash. Your Christmas tree doesn't need to go to waste when it can benefit your plants, support wildlife, or become decorative elements you'll use for months.
Chris Bonnett, founder of GardeningExpress.co.uk, explains that "all parts of the tree can be repurposed — the trunk can be shredded into wood chips for garden pathways, the branches can be used to provide insulation for tender plants, and the needles can be put in small bags to create fragrant sachets."
