Topic: Christmas Tree Spray | |
---|---|
Help your tree smell like it was just cut. Make a mixture of 1 cup water with 6 drops of essential oil of Pine, NOT purfumed oil, but rather pure essential oil. Use this to spray the tree. Or put a few drops of the essential Pine oil on a cloth and tuck this around the base of the tree.

that is a good idea, the last few trees I've bought (to do my part for deforestation and global warming) haven't had any smell to them! ![]() |

Better still use an artificial tree for years to come to avoid cutting trees

how do you plant a tree that has been cut down?
serious question, as there are no roots. |

Yup, here we have a drop off place just for your old Christmas trees. They put them in the area lakes in different spots every year to use as breeders. Works out for everyone, including the fishies.
