my very un-scientific opinion FWIW:
I once read in aa magazine dedicated to organic gardening that pine needles
will not make your soil more acidic. So, that year I tried pine needle mulch
around my tomatoes. It did a great job of preventing weeds. A soil test at
the end of the year showed that my soil was more acidic than a year earlier
despite the lime that I added in the spring. I'm assuming that it was the
pine needles that caused the problem.
