When choosing a material for mulching plants, you should pay attention to pine sawdust.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, told which crops are suitable for pine sawdust mulch.
What plants like mulching with pine sawdust
Pine sawdust can be used to mulch any coniferous plants, raspberries, and other shrubs.
Tulips love this kind of mulch. Onions and garlic, including winter garlic, are also mulched with sawdust.
Also, slightly rotted pine sawdust can be used for growing potatoes in organic beds.
In addition, pine sawdust can be sprinkled on garden paths.
To prevent the sawdust from being blown away by the wind, it needs to be moistened. If you are mulching for decorative purposes, then you need to moisten it with water.
If you need to speed up the decomposition of mulch, use compost accelerating products.
