Can the sawdust be mixed in with compost/topsoil or should we just get rid of it? I’m wondering if it might benefit a heavy soil structure

[@hardyfruittreenursery7715]

Hi Fuzexi. Sorry for the late reply. It could be mixed in, but because sawdust has a very high ratio of carbon, it will use a lot of the nitrogen in your soil to compost, depriving your plant of Nitrogen while it composts. If you want to use it, you will need to compensate by adding more nitrogen (an example is chicken manure).
