If you have used mulch in the past, a general rule of thumb is one yard of hardwoood mulch will cover approximately 100 sq feet at 2.5-3 inches deep. Thus, three bales of pine straw will cover one yard of mulch. Multiply the length times the width of each of your beds. Then add all your totals up and divide by 100, then multiply by 3 and that is the number of bales you will use. In the begining, we suggest you order a few additional bales to ensure ample coverage and margin of error.

Answer: Pine needles are inherently acidic, however, they do not have the capacity to lower soil pH. There is no harm or fear in using pine straw to mulch shrub borders, flower beds and vegetable gardens. Even a 2 to 3 inch layer of pine mulch will not measurably change the soil pH.
