January:
Wondering what to do with all your unwanted holiday items? Here is a list of things that can be added to the compost bin:
|
The Christmas tree. Chop off the branches and break into smaller pieces. Or use a chipper. |
|
Poinsettias, when they start to look shabby. |
|
Cardboard wrapping paper rolls |
|
Holiday wreaths (only natural and remove all wire/plastic frames) |
|
Contents from the vacuum cleaner bag (probably full of all those pesky pine needles!) |
|
Ashes from the fireplace (no coal) |
|
Potpourri (only natural) |
|
Wine corks (no plastic) |
|
Holiday card envelopes |
February:
|
Keep adding kitchen scraps, coffee grounds and tea bags, etc. to keep the temperature up in your compost bin. You can also add that wilted flower arrangement from Valentine's Day! |
|
Turning the bin everyday will help keep things "cooking" during the winter months. |
|
Adding a layer of compost to spring-flowing bulbs helps protect them from late winter temperature fluctuations. |
March:
|
Keep turning the compost bin. The weather should be starting to warm up, and it will soon be time to use that fresh compost in the garden. |
|
After pruning trees and shrubs, add trimmings to the compost bin. |
