Sawdust

Our radical compost project relies on a steady supply of sawdust. The ideal sawdust is:

- from softwood
- from green (undried) wood
- cut by a bandsaw

I couldn't find this by the pickup truck-load locally, so I finally ended up buying a load of sawdust from a large sawmill in Port Angeles. It was 45 yards of green alder sawdust, for $150 + delivery for $250 + tax. Way more than I wanted; I figure this will last us around 4 years!
