How to make mulch from sawdust
Wood waste can deplete soil, bind manure, and draw out phosphorus.
In theory, sawdust is recommended to be applied as fertilizer in the autumn season, when the soil is dug up.
To do this, lay out layers of sawdust, add water and 200 grams of urea on top.
Cover the top with mulch and place a weight on top.
You can use mulch after two weeks.
It is also important to understand here that nitrogen fertilizer is needed specifically for the sawdust that you add to the soil.
Which plants are suitable for sawdust mulch
Mulching with sawdust is well suited for spruce, pine and other conifers that contain a large amount of essential oils and resin.
Sawdust can also be used for nightshade crops, since the smell of pine needles repels the Colorado potato beetle.
This includes potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.
