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.
Many gardeners don't like pine needles or oak leaves because they do tend to change the pH of the soil. However, if this is what you have access to in your landscape, use them, but add lime to the soil each year to counteract the acidity of the mulch. Testing the soil with a kit will help determine how much is needed.
