Last weekend Jean-Pierre raked and bagged pine needles from behind our house
(a neighbor's tree) and took them to a friend who grows blueberries. They
make excellent mulch for all the plants of the acid-loving Ericacaea family
- but remember they could be a fire hazard near a house, which is why he
removed them.

Hello everyone,
As I walked in my garden this morning, I was wondering what to do
with the pine needles that fall in great quantities at the end of
Summer.
I am sure fellow members of the list have judicious and ecological
answers to offer me.
All best
