Keep your eyes peeled for bags of pine needles that people set out for garbage pickup. I have long enjoyed using them as a decorative, water-shedding mulch for garden pathways. Dry long needle pine is great for giving chickens a nice soft bedding for their nesting boxes for folks in the southeast U.S.. For folks in Australia, the very soft needles of the "Australian Pine" (not really a pine and long banned in Florida) would serve well for both tasks. John
