How much of what to add to sawdust
I've obtained a bunch of softwood sawdust that I'd like to use as a
mulch. Apparently this will deplete nitrogen. What do I have to add, and in what amounts, to prevent nitrogen depletion (and any other unwanted effects)? Thank you |

You could sprinkle 34-0-0 over the mound before the aging process. I use old sawdust for my blueberry plants. |

Thank you for your replies. I'll let the sawdust age. Hadn't thought
of that. Shirley Bollinger wrote: I've obtained a bunch of softwood sawdust that I'd like to use as a mulch. Apparently this will deplete nitrogen.
