Fall is a season of vibrant colors, crisp air, and comes with a lot of yard work between raking leaves and cutting tree branches. If you’ve recently had a tree cut down, you shouldn’t let all of the debris go to waste! Here are some fun eco-friendly ways to recycle fall tree debris:
- Create Mulch for Your Garden: Shredded leaves and small branches are perfect to use to make mulch to protect your garden beds during the colder months. Spreading a layer around your trees helps them to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Build a Brush Pile: You could pick a corner of your yard to put all of the debris and create a little environment for animals to stay in during the colder months.
- Turn Leaves Into Nutrient-Rich Compost: Fallen leaves are perfect for making compost. They’ll break down over time, creating a nutrient-rich soil for your garden.
