@Allen2045 Exactly! It’s called Lasagna Gardening. This is a very cheap and eco-friendly way to start a garden. There are most likely videos on you tube about them.

fresh pine needles are real acidic. but they do make good compost once they have broken down. and you can use them for mulch to keep moisture in.

pine needles are not good for your garden the pine pitch is highly acidic or at least I have been told. I don’t know if they are appropriate for compost for this same reason. Every year I have to pick all of the pinecones out of my garden before we till it.
