Sawdust can be used to improve your growing environments' soils.
Sawdust can help to increase Mycorrhizal fungi and mycelium which serve important roles in our soils. They increase the surface area of roots through their symbiotic relationship with plants, helping to access water and essential nutrients. This in turn enhances plant growth and increases production.
Some consider sawdust to be one of the best solutions for improving clay soils. Sawdust breaks down slowly, so it is a longer-lasting soil amendment than many other available options.
Note - It takes time to improve soil health so multiple applications are recommended to get the best result.
You can either use sawdust as a mulch on top of your soils or blend it with your organic waste to create your own compost. The ratios and turning times are important when creating your own compost, so it's best to consult with a member from the Azwood team to get started.
