How Do You Stop Christmas Trees From Dropping Needles?

How Do You Stop Christmas Trees From Dropping Needles?
Have you ever found yourself trying to remove Christmas tree needles from your carpets and car months after the Christmas tree was sent to the tip? Maybe you love the smell and nostalgia of a real Christmas tree but could do without the needle drop.
Christmas tree needles have a nasty habit of embedding themselves in your carpets, getting into your upholstery or even worse sticking in your feet. There have been many solutions proposed, the Christmas tree sacks, the sprays that glue your needles on, the artificial Christmas tree that you pull out of the loft each year, and of course the low needle drop species, cutting your Christmas trees trunk at an angle to draw more water, even putting bleach in the water like you do with cut flowers. They have had a varying degree of success but none so far have really put the problem to bed completely. Maybe now there is a solution that satisfies all concerns.
The best way to avoid the needle drop issue is to not buy a Christmas tree but to hire a living tree over the Christmas period. When you hire a Christmas tree it is conveniently delivered to your home just in time for Christmas, left with you to decorate and enjoy over the Christmas season and collected in the new year. As hired Christmas trees dont die while with you (or after) they dont drop their needles like other real Christmas trees do. With a delivery and collection service and a greatly reduced needle drop this leaves you with no needles in your car and very few in your carpets.
Christmas tree hire schemes are a pretty new concept but projects are taking root in the U.K and in many other countries. A great range of Christmas tree sizes and species are becoming available on such services with a Christmas tree to suit most homes and work places. Many businesses favour this approach due to its convenience and echo credentials.
Other advantages when you hire a Christmas tree are that the shape is often better as they are nurtured and pruned for perfect shape throughout the year. Once collected your Christmas tree is planted out to create woodlands which are great for wildlife and the effects on the atmosphere can offset 10% of your years carbon footprint. With each tree that is planted out absorbing around 1 tonne of carbon, when we consider that 8 million trees are chopped down in the U.K alone each Christmas, that is 8 million tonnes of carbon offset each year. Many Christmas tree hire schemes are now even trying out indigenous tree species to make sure that once planted out the wildlife of that country gets the full benefits it can from the resource.
All in all when you hire rather than buy a Christmas tree you benefit from much greater convenience, a much more echo friendly solution and of course a much better product without the needles all over your house and car. Maybe next time youre trying to remove those stubborn needles from your carpet you could take a look at what Christmas tree hire schemes are available in your area.
