ponderosa pine needles in compost...


Hi all,

I've found the motherlode of fallen leaves. All I have
to do is scoop it up and bring it home. Mixed in with
the leaves, however are ponderosa pine needles (the long
needles, 3 to 4 inches). They're at least a year old,
perhaps more.

I know that one must avoid fresh pine, as it can
sterilize the soil. How long do you wait before allowing
these pine needles into the garden?

Regards, Cliff
