Cob: Pine Needles, anyone?

[Chrys Mollett]

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the use of pine needles in
cob - - in any proportion with the use of straw??

We're in north-central California foothills - and the needles are Everywhere
and plentiful - currently drying the color of our red mother lode soil.

Thanks ahead for any support or info on this.
