Pine straw can “flavor” veggies grown in it as well as add acidity to the soil

When used as a mulch it doesn’t acidify the soil. And if you till it into the soil it may acidify the soil some, but it’s such a small amount that it’s negligible. This is a very common myth.

I’m a huge fan of pine straw.
