In a couple of days, millions of Christians will throw out their live Christmas trees. This usually happens on New Year’s Day. Instead, put that tree to good use.
- Pine needles are devoured by Spanish Isopods so save those needles and get yourself some Spanish Isopods like Porcellio Ornatus, Porcellio Hoffmanseggi or Porcellio Magnificus and feed them some needles.
- Chip that tree up, age it a bit and use the mulch for worm bedding, Isopod substrate or substrate for many roaches that love rotting wood like Surinam Roaches, and Zebra Roaches.
- Cut the tree up and place the logs on the ground outside and attract wild Isopods like oniscus asellus (Skirted Isopods), Porcellio Scaber (Rough Isopods) and Wood Roaches.
- Cut the tree trunk into 2″ disks and place in your Isopod and Roach enclosures to provide them places to hide.
- If you live in an area where burning is permitted, then burn the leftover trimmings and use the potash as a fertilizer in your garden soil. Mix it with worm castings and give your plants a boost.
