Super fine sawdust (powder-like) for spawn?
    #13821905 - 01/20/11 05:35 PM (13 years, 2 months ago)

I know a cabinet maker who has a ton on hardwood sawdust, but it's like sand or powder- very fine... I am guessing I shouldn't use it for spawn or blocks because of water retention issues, but thought I would check with you guys..

It packs too much.  Look for rough cut sawdust.  What comes off a chain saw is perfect.

Could you put some verm in there to loosen it up?

Why spend money on a mineral instead of getting sawdust that's acceptable?  Are you wanting to make sawdust spawn as you said in your thread title or are you trying to make sawdust substrate for fruiting?

Sorry.  Verm works, but course sawdust is what one wants.  It won't pack down.

Fine sawdust can be used to supplement your spawn/substrate but like RR said don't use it alone it packs too much and is a poor choice.
