Yes, conifer needles can be composted, but it's advisable to do so in moderation. They are acidic and can lower the pH of the compost, which might not be suitable for all plants. To balance their acidity, mix them with other compost materials, such as grass clippings or leaves. Over time, they will break down and contribute valuable nutrients to the compost.
