Sawdust Piles
Used For Humus
The problem of what to do with
old sawdust piles has been solved
by a Madison County farmer.
Six or seven years ago Mack
Rke, Route 4, Marshall, had a
considerable amount of tin^)er
cut and sawed into lumber on his
farm. As usual, when the sawmill
operator moved out, he left a large
stack of slabs and a huge pile of
sawdust on the old sawmill site.
Eventually Rice used up the slabs
as firewood.
The sawdust has now begun to
decay. Rice is spreading it over
some poor, thin land which he is
putting in pasture. The decaying
sawdust, he believes, is a good
soil conditioner and will add
much needed organic matter, or
humus, to the land.
rate of about 60 pounds of nitrogen
to a ton of dry sawdust. The or
ganisms which cause the sawdust
to decay require large amounts
of nitrogen. However, this extra
nitrogen is returned to the soil
again when the sawdust has com
pletely rotted.
Ford says mixing sawdust in
soils loosens heavy soils, and rain
water is much more likely to seep
into them than run off. In sandy
soils the humus derived from
sawdust helps increase the water
holding capacity of the land.
Sawdust is not only a good soil
conditioner, but it also has limit
ed value as a fertilizer. Its value
says Ford, is roughly equivalent
to that of a 4-2-4 commercial fer
tilizer.
