Old, aged needles tend to burn hot and probably won't cause creosote issues. I had question about using pine needles as mulch for strawberries. Do the needles damage the strawberries in any way?
Thank you. Charlotte, as long as the pine needles are laid horizontally they won't poke the strawberries at all. They're like any other mulch. If you just throw them around in clumps it is possible that the tips can poke the strawberries, but I've never had that problem. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using?
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask! Thank you to share your knowings about pine needles.
I also have a lot of pine needles and frequently I don't know what to do with. I would want to use them for fire but it's not easy to handle and carry like it is. The ideal thing would ce to do briks with compressed needles. I have a machine to make bricks with papers that is very simple and works very well but it's not possible to mix the needles with the paper because the two materials doesn't stick together. Is there anybody who has an idea to keep a bunch of needles together in order to make a sort of brick or a pack easy to handle?

About a month ago, I did have a 15 acre Pine plantation in S W France but since the Foresters have been in and cut down all the trees, I am left with everything below 5cm thick on the floor and was wondering what to do with all this waste?
Suggestions please? If you have the equipment to collect it, I would recommend moving the organic material on the floor into large piles. It will decompose into compost that can be used in local gardens.

Also, new pine straw is not very absorbent so the chicken waste would probably slide right through and collect on the floor of the coop.
Slightly aged pine straw that was threshed might work a little better. If you have a lot of pine straw I suggest conducting an experiment by using some of it in a small area of the coop or pen and see what results you get.

However, I've the opinion that laptop computers are still not nearly powerful enough to be a wise decision if you typically do jobs that require plenty of power, for instance video modifying. An ecologically harmonious answer is that the turpentine is advantageous to the tree after it, or any part of it, dies. Here's how.
A pine tree dies, and within a few months or years, after the tree's bark has fallen off, a fire sweeps through the area. The dead tree, especially the stump of fat lighter, burns to the ground. So do any dead needles or limbs that were already on the ground. Nutrients bound inside the dead tree are returned to the soil and once again become available for other pine trees. But animals and plants, including pine trees, are not altruistic, so why would this be of advantage to the tree?
The simplest explanation is that most of the nearby trees would be descendants of the burned tree. The tree would be returning the nutrients to its own kin.
In addition, adding fuel to the periodic fires would eliminate other trees that were not fire-tolerant species and that might otherwise compete with the pine trees. The FS has thinned a thousand acres a half mile from our property in the past 2 years.
It's a truly magnificent looking area now. We aim to work towards the same thing. Over a period of three years we have already removed something like trees from three acres, many just broomsticks, but many in the up to 6 to 8 inch diameter size.

I like For me, I would want a patch or two of sun for a garden. And I would want to reduce conifers and add more deciduous trees. Conifers acidify the soil and they don't play fair with other vegetation: they make the soil toxic for most plant species. I think I would want to build a wofati or two, using some of the trees.
Maybe one to live in and one as a root cellar. I might want to use some of the trees for a hugelkultur bed. Conifer duff, especially the needles are loaded with the stuff that kills other plants. So I wouldn't want to use it as a plant mulch. Some folks do use some of that stuff for "pine straw " - they bale it! I suspect that they use it for animal bedding, but I'm not sure about that. People with conifers that want grass to grow under the trees typically take one of two approaches: 1 rake up the needles.
All of them. Maybe Don can mimic this by burning the trash fallen twigs, pinecones, small sickly trees, pine needles etc, what ever would burn in a quick grass fire , and then spreading the ash back around the ground.
