Hi

I am looking for bales of pine needles - does anyone know where I can
purchase these in the UK?

I can see they are popular in the USA but can't seem to find them here
in the UK.
Thanks!

Can't help you lizzyloo, but was interested as I've never heard of pine
needle
bales !

Thought other uRGlers might be interested:

An interesting site. We have three very old fir trees of different
species and I really can't see the attraction of using the manky old
brown, prickly needles as a mulch or instead of bark.

very good around strawberries apparently and also seem to improve flavour of
the berries. I throw the odd handful of pine forest litter in my compost.
