Default Sawdust

I'm told that putting green woodchips onto soil has the effect of drawing
out nutrients from the soil as they rot down. Does anybody know if they
same happens if sawdust from seasoned wood is added to soil. Has anybody
tried this to build up moisture retention in dry areas?


Nitrogen. As it rots, so the more seasoned it is probably the quicker it
would draw nutrients.
