Can I use the sprigs of pine needles from my still very healthy xmas wreath ?

    Yes!

  • I don't have a shredder so can I just lay the sprigs on the soil ?

    Yes, just spread them around acid loving plants or on bark paths.

  • What kind of tree was it?  If the needles just fall off just spread them round your acid loving plants, some of the  sturdier types will be harder to assimilate, and the branches will take forever to rot down.  I'd be inclined to use them to protect my seed beds when I start planting next year.
