Christmas tree mat - frugal way to keep mud out

[1wicked2008]

what no..if you like this sort of thing stop by permies.com..might hurt alitte running out the door barefooted

Yet another good use is for a great base for firewood! I am able to lift the bottom layer off the frozen ground and have a non slip mat to get at the next row... Love the chicken coup idea by 2Bibleppl - bet the chickens love it!

I like this!

also the needles can make a sieve to strain liquids, for example your vitamin C needle tea.

@reingo73 I thought that heating the needles destroyed the vitamin C. Vitamins are quite unstable, you'd better drink as a juice to keep the vitamins ;)

@Rhinoch8

yeah right. sometimes i would eat some fresh sprouts.

Another way to use them is to put them in your chicken coup to keep the smell down.
