    Question Real Christmas Tree - how do you keep it from dying....

    I understand that once it's cut, that's it, but I've read a million different opinions (sugar water, aspirin water, etc....) of how to make it last longer....anyone have any T-N-T advice?!

    I just saw something on DIY last night! They took about 40 -50 asprins and crushed them up as powdery as possible. The cut a little piece of the bottom of the tree and put the aspirins in a bucket of water and mixed it. Then they put it in the watering holder at the base of the tree! They said it can last for a month like that. But if you have babies or animals that could get in that I would say not... For me it would be okay.
