Do you have a lot of old newspapers? Don't rush to throw them away!

Such periodicals can be used in household chores.

For example, for wiping washed windows and drying shoes.

Old newspapers will also come in handy in a country house. Especially in winter.

Winter cottage trick with newspapers

During the cold season, hares may appear on your country property.

Hungry long-eared creatures will certainly pay attention to the trees growing in the garden.

Of course, you can protect the trunks with nets or spruce branches.

But with the help of newspaper, you can also provide plants with protection from uninvited “guests”.

It is enough to simply wrap the trunks with the appropriate material.

An important point: there should be several newspapers, because you should get a fairly thick protective layer.

Newsprint has an interesting property: it rustles well.

A hare trying to "attack" a tree will hear a rather loud and unpleasant sound. The animal will probably get scared and run away, leaving the garden crop "alone".
