Do you know what "shadders" are?

Pine shats, dried pine needles raked from the forest floor.
I just bought some Blue Princess Hollies and a Blue Prince Holly. It says to apply mulch around them. I wonder if I could use pine shadders? I have alot of them laying around. I had never heard of shadders either, jmmb.
They were always called pine shats when I was growing up. It wasn't until a few years ago I found out what some people were calling "shadows" were shats. I had never heard them call shadders until I saw the painted sign.
My dad used shats to put around newly planted shrubs and rose bushes years ago. There was no mulch to buy. I use them in the winter to cover around bushes and flower beds. If I plant seeds in the spring I cover them with pine shats.
I'm getting ready to plant a new lilac bush this week and I will put shats around that. I use it to mulch my things. They certainly don't blow away.

they also make good warm bedding for animals in the winter, as for example in a dog house
