Monkey Puzzle Mulch

After all my pining over lack of pine needles in my area (from what I have read, I need pine needles to help condition my soil type), I discovered that I have my own take on pine needles here in my very own back yard!... The big monkey puzzle tree in the corner of our back yard has been shedding. I managed to collect enough to distribute it over the fruit tree beds as mulch. Okay, so yea, maybe not pine needles but hey, bet it will do the trick! :)
