Will pine needlea really effect my soil ph

  1. Iv found a great spot to use in the spring but there are pine needles everywhere and iv heard that they will turn your soil more acidic is this true?
     
  2. Definantly true :)
    But you can get the ph back to a good level by adding the right things anyways :)
    Lime is a good start for raising the PH
    Good luck

    O n I forgot to mention I'm using pots with fox farm not the soil on site. Will that effect the ph enough over time just being under the pine trees for months.
     
  4. Oh haha ,
    Well in that case it won't affect your ph :)
    To be safe I would remove any needles that fall into your pots
    And check the PH every now and then but you shouldn't have many issues .
    The pine trees don't block out too much sun though do they ?

    Thanks and no they don't block out much sun. Their not the kind that look like a Christmas tree. They are very skinny and branchy.
     
  6. Awesome :)
    Hope it turns out well for you man !!
