Potatoes are acid lovers, so pine straw would be good for mulching those.

except it really isn't the acidifier many people claim so if you really need to adjust the pH down you'll want some elemental sulfur or such to bring it down.

Not a problem here our soil tends to be acid. We did get it limed about 7 years ago but I actually need to send off a soil test and see if I need to start throwing wood ash on the rest of the garden.
