Pine needles: Pine needles are a trim-looking mulch for garden beds. They allow water to pass through easily and they break down slowly. Despite what you may have heard, using pine-needle mulch will not make your soil significantly more acid.

Oh! I had heard about the aciditity of pine mulch and had only used the mulch on my blue berries and strawberries as a result - found it to be great but was nervous to use it else where.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead.”
