Using Pine Needles

We have a large Corsican Pine which sheds lots of needles throughout the year. Can these be used as a garden mulch or are they too acidic ?

    No reason why not, some plants prefer pine needles as a mulch, if your'e worried compost them for a few months and you can use them then.

  • I've used them as a longer-lasting covering for a woodland style path which usually gets a fresh covering of bark chips each year.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Great pathmaker and weedkiller.
