Well then…let’s go! I’ll post it on our community garden group and see if anyone can pick it up.
The sawdust is from untreated wood. It’s from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, for use as compost.
Be careful on where the sawdust is from. Can the person who is giving away the sawdust affirm the wood was all untreated? Even though certain wood treatment chemicals (arsenic-based)have been banned from the industry, replacement chemicals may also have their own problems. Considering the vast use of plywood, MDF, laminated products, etc., make sure the sawdust supply does not contain dust from these manufactured products.
We use sawdust in our community garden composting effort and the person who supplies us is a master composter who is very aware of the issues with wood products.
Better to err on the side of caution…
Yes.
