  Sawdust for garden mulch

Since I'm going back into furniture manufacturing on a limited basis and the wife want's a garden why not sawdust for mulch? I'm aware that some kind is toxic to a horse, but I know nothing about a horse either. Thanks, Frank.

  Sawdust for garden mulch

Thanks ro all the info. at the old plant we probably generated a garbage can full of mixed dust, plainer shavings, etc. in a day's run. it was sucked thru a central collection system and blew out a spout onto a pile in the yard. If left undisturbed till spring a winters worth of sawdust got pretty hot and steamy in the center and it seemed to turn into kind of a dark colored mulch like material, I used to take the loader and haul it out in the field to dispose of it. The new "Mini Plant" will probably produce a garbage can per week thru a bag collection system, so maybe if I just haul it out to the sand hill and pile it up it would be good for the 08 garden. I've got a neighbor who always has nice clean oat straw for sale, so maybe a dozen bales would be a good choice. Frank.

EW; I remember my Dad using oat straw for mulch after the garden plants got taller than a bale slab was thick. He of course had to hoe till the things got that big. He never tore the bale slabs apart, he just laid them side by side, end to end like you were laying bricks in a street. That was a long time ago but as I remember it worked quite well. An aunt of mine used to spread news papere a few layers deep then put just enough soil on them to keep them from blowing away, that did'nt seem to work very good, the paper got tore and the weeds came anyway. Frank.
