Many enterprising gardeners are in no hurry to send their crumbling natural Christmas tree to the landfill.

They prefer to preserve the tree until the beginning of the new summer cottage season.

Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained how a New Year tree can help in the garden.

According to the expert, this tree produces a high-quality and effective fertilizer.

As the agronomist explains, the branches can be used to prepare a universal fertilizer for all garden crops.

In addition, spruce branches can serve as an excellent cover for a compost heap - the pine aroma will not allow the unpleasant smell of compost to spread throughout the area.

Some summer residents even use spruce branches as mulch, thereby protecting plants from attacks by insect pests and rodents.
