Product Description

Sawdust is the small granular chip wood that is produced in the manufacturing of lumber. It can be used as a mulch to heal in plants and cover them from severe winter weather. Sawdust can be incorporated into clay soils to loosen it, and into sandy soils to provide moisture retention. Sawdust Supply Co., Inc. stocks both Fir-Hemlock and Alder sawdust. Application: The mix ratio when using as a soil amendment should not exceed 1/3 sawdust to 2/3 soil. When using sawdust as a soil amendment a high nitrogen fertilizer should be added, as the decomposition of sawdust could cause a nitrogen depletion.
