     if it is just wood chips without dirt mixed in then   
   that is worth to use as a top mulch for any perennial   
   garden.   
      
     i'm not sure how sticky the chips would be from   
   pine sap/tar so it may not work well as a pathway   
   material.   
      
     if it has a lot of dirt mixed in with it then   
   i would bury it around the garden in spots where it   
   could continue rotting and eventually turn into humus.   
   not too near existing plants because you don't want   
   to disturb the roots or their growth.  once it has   
   been broken down more it can be mixed in with the   
   rest of the garden soil (after a few more years -   
   really depends upon soil moisture and fungi you have   
   in your area).
