    You know people in South Carolina pay for pine straw. It's great for things like blueberries and other acid loving plants.
    Many other places as well.
    At our old house, I was lucky to have a couple of maturing pines across the alley. It was an older house turned into a duplex rental.
    I didn't even bother to ask. I just claimed the bounty. I walked over with my mower and bagged it all up a few times every year until the shedding was done.

    Pine needle mulch blued up my hydrangeas nicely and kept my azaleas happily blooming strong.
    No "acid lovers" at the new home, but the junk soil here could always use a boost.

    My BIL, living west of Ft. Wayne, has a small farm property that is lined along the roads with huge pines.
    He bales the long needle pine waste and takes it over to his blueberry bog along with an occasional clean-up of his hog wallow.
