Recycled Sawdust is awesome for compost and worms and it's readily available as a free resource all over the globe.
I am all for recycling all types of waste and turning it into compost and worms castings. It really makes me feel great that I can help in a small way to lower my footprint on the world.

Have you ever composted sawdust, or considering using it? Let us know below!

[@juancheng7886]

I love the sawdust which help me balance the ph level in the bin when i have fresh food more available.😄

[@martysgarden]

That's a good idea, being a stable carbon material I am sure it does that well

Hi Marty, I run my frozen bokashi scraps through the garden mulcher into a chunky salsa and then combine it 1:1 with old and cold horse stall bedding (mainly sawdust). I then leave it for three weeks in a open bottomed composting unit (dalek style) and then feed that to my worms. I also combine the compost with a bit of blue metal crusher dust (very finely sifted) and some compost tea to really get the microbes going. My rationale for doing all this? Worms eat microbes, so semi-matured cold compost is wonderful as worm food!

I've been using sawdust from my tablesaw for years, but when my dad started turning wooden bowls on the lathe, those shavings were the bomb!

[@martysgarden]

@@D.A.Hanks14 nice, great way to recycle as well

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Love using stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Marty hitting the waves!!!!

[@martysgarden]

Hi Mike, thanks for popping in. I thought I would share a bit of behind the scenes here as well.

[@pamstout]

Your daughter does a great job with the camera. I wish my Grandkids were closer. The kids always do well with technology.

[@martysgarden]

Hi Pam, she has a good eye that's for sure and follows the direction for the shot. Very artistic my Karin

[@LoveNatureforabettertomorrow]

Amazing work 😀

[@martysgarden]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@a.kay.c]

The worm casting "tea bag" idea is genius in the pot!

[@martysgarden]

Awesome,,thanks Amanda

[@ltlbnsgarden]

That is awesome that you found someone that can source you the sawdust. The waves looked amazing friend! I agree, Karin is excellent with the camera! 🤗

[@martysgarden]

Thanks Little Bean, hope you're keeping well?

[@AJsGreenTopics]

Great video. The waves are huge. Have a great day.

[@martysgarden]

Hi Aj, some nice swell on that day!

[@martysgarden]

Hi Amy, hope your keeping well, thanks for watching!

[@MrScooterdude2]

Thanks buddy 👍🇨🇦

[@martysgarden]

No problem 👍

[@goldenages7089]

If using sawdust I suggest adding a high nitrogen additive as sawdust is 300:1 carbon to nitrogen which is not ideal at all for worms that like 25 to 30:1

[@martysgarden]

Yes, that's why I use coffee grounds from the cafe. You will see I mention that in other videos of mine. Thanks for watching Marty

LOL PAPA DAUGHTER PROJECT - COOL

[@martysgarden]

Hi Dennis, we do a few of these together, glad you enjoyed it

[@peterlawrence738]

Hi Marty, Are you on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria? ....I think I know that sawmill

[@martysgarden]

North Haven NSW Peter,,,Gods country!

[@juancheng7886]

Hi Marty, love your videos as always. Could you please explain a bit on how to use worm casting as i have problems with growing the veg and flowers plant. I might use too much. My flower plant leave curl in. Can u suggest what portion of the worm casting i should use to make the potting mix. Is any difference in growing flower plant or veggies. Thanks.

[@martysgarden]

Hi Juan. I would say it's not the castings making the leaves curl. Lot's of things can make plants do that. Use around 10% for best results with all plants mixed into potting mix.

[@juancheng7886]

Thanks Marty. Please keep making good video. Your daughter is really good with camera and love her every comment in your video.

[@martysgarden]

Thanks Juan, I will let Karin know

Hi there 😀

[@suzannahharris8007]

We just picked up a lot of sawdust shavings. How do I add it to my worm bin? Does it need to be composted first, or can I add it raw like it is as a bedding? I also have on hand: somewhat composted horse manure, lots of spent coffee grounds. Also, where did you get your double buckets? Thanks : )

[@martysgarden]

Yes, you need to compost that sawdust first, coffee grounds helps with that. Double buckets?😀

[@koyuikishi1442]

How much of sawdust do i use as worm bedding? Can i mix it evenly witj coffee ground?

[@martysgarden]

Compost it first and you can use as bedding

[@MohsinRaza-ii6fm]

I started composting sawdust and tea leaves in a bucket then all tea leaves got composted early and sawdust still same after 2 months. Then i addes urea mixed with water and sawdust started composting now. Is it good idea or bad? When i use compost in plants will there be to much nitrogen to burn the plants?

[@martysgarden]

Once it's fully composted it should be okay,,the nitrogen heats up and burns out. You could then put it through a worm farm and make it super powered kzbin.info/door/nPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtwjoin

[@MohsinRaza-ii6fm]

@@martysgarden i added some goat manure to make worm farm but i don't know how to separate compost from that bin so i use that to grow herbs directly but no good response.

[@martysgarden]

@@MohsinRaza-ii6fm do some research on composting, you will get there

[@MohsinRaza-ii6fm]

@@martysgarden sure.

[@D.A.Hanks14]

You mentioned harvesting a sawmill. That will net you sawdust. You also mentioned shavings are better. Hit up your local cabinet shops and get the stuff from the planers. Maple breaks down the fastest. Also the best leaves to use in your compost pile for the same reason.

[@martysgarden]

Thanks for the tips!

Has Hungry Bin sponsored you yet?

[@martysgarden]

No, but I am in talks with an Aussie company. Some good news coming soon I believe Kenbo!
