Wood chips and sawdust - for which apply to the site?

Wood chips and sawdust have many uses in the area, and to get them is quite simple. For example, we have a working sawmill near the village, next to which lay piles of sawdust. Periodically it is sold whole machine, but the locals take for yourself for free.

Also, I have recently gained a few bags of chips and now I will tell you that it can be done.

mulching with sawdust

It is the most popular way to use sawdust and shavings, which in the autumn does not lose its relevance. I, for example, every year, be sure to mulch the strawberries to better survive the winter. A word of advice - use for mulching larger chips, then that it was convenient to remove from the garden. And do not forget that the sawdust is strongly acidifying the soil.

For storage of carrots

Those who are used to store your carrots in the sand is often used in place of him and-dried moss or sawdust. They weigh much less, so move the container with the laid carrot will be easier, and stored carrots in sawdust or worse.

Many even claim that the sawdust is stored carrots are much better than in the sand, less rot and deteriorate. But then I can not solve itself, since several years keep carrots in bags. And what do you think is better - sand or sawdust?

Do you know the easiest way to determine the acidity of the soil in your yard?

Neutralize the smell of sawdust in the toilet

A more usual wood chips will help you get rid of unpleasant odors in the suburban toilet. For this will be enough once or twice a day to pour a glass of sawdust into the toilet and then the smell will not grow.

Filler for tracks

Unfortunately boast a track I can not. But something like my husband and I want to do next year on our site, and is likely to fill the tracks we'll use sawdust. Cheap and practical.

And considering the fact that we have a sawmill in the heart of the house, it is almost ideal for decorating paths on the site.
