I've seen them used on strawberry and blueberry so seeing as Bananaman88 isn't having any problem with them I'll give it a try.

FWIW I am talking about dry, dead pine needles. I'm not aware of any toxic effect though. Where I live it's normal to find all kinds of stuff growing around pines. Usually palmettos, beauty berry, grass, vines and blackberry. The only time other things won't grow around a pine tree is when there's a thick blanket of pine needles mulching out new growth. There are many kinds of pine tree though so some may have a different effect.
