Using Pine needles for mulch

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/957 --- Here's a little tip for those of you that enjoy low-maintenance gardening. Using pine needles as mulch will help keep in moisture in the soil and thus require less watering. Also, mentioned is the fact that I filled up an entire large plastic bag with garbage and recyclables on the way home. It continues to baffle me how much waste people litter.
