Reply to comment by WaxyWingie in Old Christmas trees could be saved from landfill to make renewable fuels. Research has found that pine needles from discarded Christmas trees or other sources could be turned into renewable fuels and new products, with the potential to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. by MistWeaver80

That seems like an excellent idea, but there might be a few drawbacks. How many in the UK have a garden large enough to compost a pine tree? A commercial hügelkultur operation would take a substantial amount of work to create and maintain, especially considering the number of trees that would need to be buried every year.

US here, but fair point! Can also chop for mulch/scatter under bushes, use thicker chunks in a casual fire.
