Greening your Christmas 2009
Posted by carrie_roll
As you’re thinking about Christmas this year, think about how you might make your Christmas a little more green. One tip: the tree…
Brian, a member of the GreenJoyment community from ABC Garage Doors, shared this quick tip with us after the holidays in 2008, and we thought it relevant to share with you before you get your tree this year.
I do have a Christmas tip for your readers. Buy a real tree in a pot. Bring the tree inside in an intermediate temperature (garage or unheated mud room) for 2 days, then inside the house for 10-15 days (more then that may hurt the tree), then back in the intermediate temp for 2 days, and finally outside in a pre-dug hole (some places the ground is already frozen after Christmas). Use a little peat moss and plant according to directions that came with the tree. Our tree was only 3 feet tall, so we bought 2. It is a great project for kids. My son, who is 5, had no problem with a smaller tree because Santa would be so proud that we are planting 2 trees and not killing them. Use a little sugar and water when watering, but water like a standard house plant. The gradual temperature change is important; we even slowly heated our mud room. Pine trees make an excellent wind break as well as color to the winter season.
Thanks for the great tip Brian!
