Is Sawdust A Good Mulch In Your Garden 3-30-2022

Thank you.

It works fine for me my garden is beautiful

Really enjoyed the video Wayland

Depends where you get your sawdust from...if it's treated then maybe not so much. And also, depends on the type of sawdust, because of the acidity.

In order to lighten the flower pots I put some saw dust in the bottom will it hurt my plant?

I agree with your findings. Sawdust is fine on top of the ground. Just let it break down there and the nitrogen that gets bound up will eventually be released back into the soil. The soil below isn't going to have the nitrogen sucked out of it by sawdust on top. Meanwhile, while it's breaking down, bacteria and fungi are growing in it and will eventually feed the soil. If you're reluctant to try it near plants, just use it for pathways around the garden and when it eventually breaks down you can till it into the soil or just add on additional layers. Thanks for sharing your garden experiences!

For me it's always been about experimentation. I always seem to be looking for the easiest way to do stuff. One thing I learned recently is when overwintering Peppers use smaller containers. Makes it easier to bring in and out and less likely to try some boneheaded idea that will lose a lot of them. Anyway, always a pleasure Wayland. I think I am about to start making more gardening vids. Thanks for keeping up with yours.

How to plant lettuces in a deep mulch garden ?
Thank you for sharing.
I wish you wonderful harvests !

ok what about wood ash? Also do you or any viewer know about brown white pine needles in bulk as a mulch? I know needles have terpines but unsure if that is adverse to gardening.

Good video and job thx for sharing and the info Be safe God Bless

Hi friend

Oh my god this is my question! Thank you sir for covering this up! As you mentionted, it's probably best to start small and see how well it does, I'm currently fixing a large enough space in the garden to plant April things there and I will give sawdust a try with depth of at least 10 centimeters or more. I want to ask you however, should I till this garden space first before planting and before adding the mulch just one time or start planting straight ahead? I do have high hopes of sawdust working as a deep mulch method since it's an organic matter so fingers crossed! I think the few weeds in your sawdust area are a good indicator that as you mentionted, we need to put more mulch there. God bless you and your family!

No i haven't tried sawdust yet
I've had several gardens at different places and i believe I'm finally getting settled enough to start over 1 last time.
This is great info to follow thank you and G-d bless

Thanks

Have you ever used sawdust as a mulch? What was you results? I posed this same question to a couple gardening boards and the overwhelming response was positive. From compost material, to light and then to deep mulch. Only the folks that till did not really have anything good to say about it.
