What do you do with your old Christmas tree?

Lots of folks set them by the curb for the trash man. City residents often have the option of either taking them to a composting center or leaving them curbside for pickup for recycling.

That leaves lots of room for country folk to wonder what to do with theirs.

If you’ve a pond on your property, and there are fish in there, well you can give the fish a New Year’s present by tossing in the Christmas tree.

Your discarded pine or cedar will provide a healthy habitat for your fish. They provide cover for the small fish, which draws the bigger fish making it a future good fishing spot.

Recycle them in your own pond – don’t discard them into public lakes!
