My property is lined with pine trees. You can come rake up as many pine needles as you want!

Talk to some of your local landscaping companies. Let them know you would be wiling to take pine needles from them. I call my favor tree company every now and then and he drops off loads of hard wood wood chips for me. At no charge.
