I am getting ready to till my garden which is 18 by 25 feet. I have a large
bag of saw dust and jointer shavings which are Oak. My question is would it
be OK to spread it all over my garden and till it in or would it cause more
harm then good?
Thanks for your opinions.



Pile the sawdust in a heap. It will be OK to use next year. Or, you
can mix it with an equal amount of grass clippings (or any other green
material) and it will be ready to use in about 6 weeks. If you use it
without composting, it will deplete your garden of nitrogen--not good.
Read about composting and you will be a step ahead in gardening!
