Sawdust as a fertilizer: helping gardeners and preserving the environment

Nowadays, many people think that the natural reserves of Mother Earth are not unlimited, therefore, their use was as rational as possible. Recycling is becoming one of the business priorities.

sawdust as fertilizer

The wood processing products, in particular sawdust, did not bypass this issue. They used them as fertilizer earlier, they have always been successful among summer residents due to their accessibility and safety for plants and the environment. There are several ways to enrich the material for cultivating the land. Sawdust itself as a fertilizer does not represent anything special, but in its processed form it can serve no worse than manure.

Coniferous sawdust has the ability to spit for a long time, so it is advisable to use them the next year after adding to the compost pit.

Hardwood sawdust can be used fresh. To do this, they are moistened with a solution of urea and nitrogen-containing complex fertilizers. Sawdust can be mixed with liquid manure or chicken droppings in the following proportions: three buckets of sawdust and one bucket of fertilizer. Thus, you will save the consumption of the main fertilizer, reduce its aggressive effect on the soil and achieve even distribution in the ground.

Sawdust introduced into the soil during the autumn agricultural work will significantly improve the quality of the soil, make it loose, crumbly and pliable, and also reduce the clay content of the soil. However, such land is also fertile soil for ants, bugs and other pests of our sites. If you brought sawdust into the ground as fertilizer, then when ants appear, it is necessary to treat their nest with a solution of a mixture of ash and lime. Such a treatment to prevent insect invasion can be done in advance by cultivating the earth around the ridges, on the sides of greenhouses and hotbeds.

sawdust briquettes

The struggle for the use of recycled products is not limited to the garden. There were almost no places where the business of processing waste products was not debugged. Widespread production of fuel from materials of plant origin. In the case of wood waste, these are sawdust briquettes. The economic benefit of creating an additional type of income for wood processing enterprises is obvious. If you get rid of waste by burning, it is fraught with millions of fines from environmental control. The decay product from the burning of sawdust - carbon monoxide - adversely affects the external environment. In addition, in the event of increased humidity of the waste, they will simply smolder and do not completely burn out. If you create a production for the production of fuel briquettes, then, in addition to high demand for products (briquettes are designed for any method of kindling fire, they are suitable for a stove, for a grill, fireplace, just for a bonfire when going out), the company will receive:

  • lack of clutter of the territory;
  • completely enclosed non-waste production process;
  • lack of need for raw materials for production;
  • environmental protection.

Using sawdust as a fertilizer or as a raw material for creating a new business, remember that by doing this you maintain the purity of our nature, air, and therefore our health.
