Walks in the forest are always full of pleasure and relax. But when we can combine it with real practical benefits, it gives double advantages!
Today my brother, his lady, my son and me went to the forest that is not far from our city.
It was a great sunny day, and we decided just to spend time together, but it was a great chance to realize one wonderful idea - gathering pine bark for our garden.
Why?
My brother read useful info that pine bark can be used as good fertilizer for plants, moreover in summer it can protect roots from heat.
So we have 2 goals: to walk and to find pine bark:)
And we reached both of them:)
We were seeking for dry dead pines to get bark from them easy and not to harm alive trees. In this forest there were many dry trees, so we found good ones rather fast.
We took a big bag of dry bark and completed the mission;)
Then we enjoyed the nature around and birds singing.
Just 30 min out of the city, and the atmosphere is absolutely different....
We went there having not very good mood because of cares and problems, but after this walk we all were refreshed and smiling.
Thank you, forest!
