RickCorey said:I was also puzzled when I first saw it, even though I raked up a mountain of pine needles as a kid.
But eventually I learned:
pine STRAW = pine needles
I wonder if "rotten" straw bales would work?
I wonder if those huge circular bales would work, and how you would get at plants in the center.
.... The reason I'm goin' to get my bales now, is to 'cook' 'em before planting time... I have 'eyeballed' those big 'uns myself, BUT, bein' 5' 3/16" (every little bit counts! 
) I haven't gone further than that... Do you know if I can post a link to that other thread? He explains it in detail very well (with LOTS of pictures, yay).......... If I can I will.
