After a session of DIY involving carpentry I'm now left with just over 2
buckets of clean untreated pine wood shavings.
Query...... is this material of any use in my garden or greenhouse ?

Best regards........ vsop.

Personally I put such things in the compost bin. It all helps for a good
mix. Even if they don't rot down quickly they help break up the soil and
make it lighter.

Yes, provided the wood is untreated it can only help to break up heavy
soil. You need to dig it in of course and not put it on in lumps.
