We call it yard waste, but it’s not really waste. Leaves and pine needles are a valuable resource. The great thing is, you can easily manage most of them on your own property with a little help from Mother Nature.

Pine needles make great mulch for acid loving

plants such as blueberries,

rhododendrons, bleeding hearts, holly and yews
