I’ve been sweeping this stuff into the bin for years, completely forgetting how my grandfather used it to keep potatoes fresh all winter long without a fridge. It turns out, that pile of untreated wood shavings sitting in your shed or local workshop is the answer to a surprising number of garden problems. From giving blueberries the exact soil they crave, to replacing winter salt on your front steps... just make sure you aren't using the wrong type of wood. Nature rarely makes trash, just materials waiting for a purpose.

🚨 THE 80-YARD REALITY CHECK 🚨
🏬 Big Box Retail: $3,600 – $4,320 (Plus hauling and dumping 1,120 heavy bags)

🛠️ My Direct Load: $2,200 (For the exact same 80 cubic yards)

The Bottom Line: Corporate retail marks up the exact same material by thousands of dollars and forces you to haul over a thousand plastic bags. Save over $1,400, skip the retail markup, and buy a full commercial load direct. DM me to secure your load!

How about some mulch and bark chips? Great for flower beds and more DM for info!

♻️Green Sawdust for sale!🌲🪚🪵♻️

‼️80 Cu. Yrd. Loads 🚛‼️

Only Private Distributor in Northern Arizona

Here are a bunch of uses for green (fresh) sawdust:

1. Animal bedding
Green sawdust works great for bedding in chicken coops, goat pens, pig pens, and dog houses. It absorbs moisture, manure, and urine, and then you can shovel it out and compost it later.

2. Compost carbon material
Sawdust is a “brown” in compost. Mix it with manure, food scraps, grass clippings, or garden waste. It helps balance nitrogen and keeps compost from getting slimy and smelly.

3. Mud control
If you have muddy areas around water troughs, gates, or feeding areas, dump sawdust there. It soaks up water and gives animals something dry to walk on.

4. Garden paths
You can lay sawdust down in garden walkways to keep w**ds down and keep your feet out of the mud. Over time it breaks down and improves the soil.

5. W**d suppression
Put a thick layer of sawdust around trees, bushes, or along fence lines to stop w**ds from growing. Just don’t mix fresh sawdust directly into garden soil unless it’s composted first.

6. Manure soak in barns
If you have a barn or shelter, spread sawdust on the floor and keep layering manure and sawdust. After a while you can clean it out and you’ve basically made compost already.

7. Fire starter
Dry sawdust mixed with wax makes really good fire starters. Even just dry sawdust alone helps get fires going.

8. Ice and traction
In winter, sawdust can be spread on ice or snow for traction on walkways and around animal pens.

9. Fill material
You can use it to fill low spots, holes, or around fence posts. It will eventually break down and turn into soil.

10. Composting toilets / outhouses
Sawdust is perfect for covering waste in composting toilets or outhouses to control smell and help composting.

Basically it’s bedding, compost, mulch, w**d control, mud control, and soil builder all in one.
