What To Do With Pine Needles. Pine needles are a scourge to many gardeners. While leaves that have fallen from trees can be easily raked up, blown away, or crushed underfoot, pine needles lie in ever-growing mats on the ground and are more difficult to remove.
Most gardeners find it difficult to grow garden plants under pine trees. Indeed, it is often impossible to maintain grass under pines. This problem has traditionally been blamed on acid soil, since gardeners believe that pine trees create acid soil. As a result, many gardeners refuse to use pine needles as mulch or include it in their compost piles.
