Using sawdust as mulch and compost
I had five large polar trees removed with stumps to below ground level. Now I have beautiful pile of fluffy sawdust with some soil (10%) mixed in by the stump chewer. Can I use this sawdust as mulch on cedars? Can it go into the composter?
Thanks, hope to hear before it gets wet.
I’m in Canada, greater Toronto area, Ontario

Yes, the sawdust from your trees is great for cedars and your compost. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
