My grandfather raised blueberries and we went to the local sawmill for sawdust to ring around the bushes. It was great fertilize as it decomposed. That was 50 years ago and it’s still a good practice.

In my experience the best compost is made from a variety of materials, "green" and "brown" mixed together. Wood products tend to consume nitrogen from the soil as they break down, so it is best that wood materials be well aged to make good compost. I use the loader on my tractor to turn the piles of mixed material primarily oak leaves, pine needles, lawn clippings, and kitchen waste. It is not necessary to have fancy compost bins, the piles work well if they are turned once in a while. I enjoy your videos. Looks like spring is arriving in the south.

As a child growing up I was raised with both a dairy farm and a sawmill. The fastest way I ever saw to compost pine sawdust was to use it for bedding in the free stalls. As it became soiled we would pull it out on the barn floor and scrap it into the liquid manure pit. It is a great way to help add humus to a sandy soil. When used for a bedding in a calf barn pine sawdust does not break down very fast. Because of the lack of constant moisture. By adding hay straw and other materials like uneaten feed, that holds moisture better it broke down quickly. It will help if you stir your pile after a heavy rain this will trap the moisture inside the pile this will cause it to break down quicker. Great video.

This was a great video Tyler and Brittney! It’s incredible the number of “Monday morning QB’s” who watch uTube videos. Why, because so many uTuber’s spend half of their videos explaining to novices the reasons for their methodology and process. It has to be frustrating but you both handle it graciously.

build you a box the length of sawdust or as much as you can fit from post to post in your shop. make it where forks can go under. the side closet to the mill open. when your box gets full drive the forks under it and dump it all at one time

You could always have a sawdust bonfire ha ha ha ha ha. A little gasoline a little spark but I just like fire too much I guess.hahaha... hahaha

when i was in the milatary i was in ti land and other places they would bag it up in bags and hang it they would plant mushroom spores hang them in a dark area keep them moist to grow mushrooms its a big deal there

Great job

Thanks for the heads up, have a good weekend,

pine can be burned in the fireplace just like oak but you have to season it first just like oak

All the cooks back in the day wanted dry pine to cook with. I still know what a wood stove looks like.

We used to spread out a layer of sawdust, then spread a small coating of ag Lyme and fire pit/wood stove ash on it, and then would repeat. Every once in a while we would turn it with the bucket tractor. With in a couple of years it would the darkest most fertile dirt you could get. We had the space to run multiple piles so we could separate out hardwood from softwood. Softwood would break down quicker. Good video 👍

You guys are great. I watched you on the TV.I didn't know.I could text yet through my phone while watching a good one

I got a little different set up I have a grain elevator I use that I blow the sawdust into. When I get a big enough pile I mix it into my manure pile and mix it in. I end up getting 24.00 a yard and people love it

tyler, have you ever done a quick video on how your pallet wood actually gets used in making the pallets? Would be interesting to see that done.

You guys make great videos on various subjects and all are interesting. Keep up the good work.

Awesome thanks for sharing !! ❤😎

Please make a fishing video at Lake Monroe in Monrow Co. on Coontail Rd. Thanks

awesome content folks.............looks pleasantly warm there, it's still snowy here in nova scotia.......keepin warm with the hard wood

I went to a sawdust bed that was 2 years old...there was some interesting beetles that lived in there once we did a berlese funnel trap on them

Really enjoyed this one. Information is good.

THANKS!

i love your content. my son and i bought a used lt15 last year and have learned a lot from you guys. we realized how much sawdust we made so we ended up buying a pellet mill to make ours into pellets seeing as we live in Wisconsin. haven't gotten to fully use both of them but we are looking forward to this summer. keep up the great videos.

My family has always used sawdust for installation in our out buildings root sellers. pump houses. every couple years go around and tap the walls and fill back up. I live in N E Utah and it will get to -30 or more some times and we have good luck with sawdust.

good show john

I grew up in the shaking shingle mill . we used a blower system for our sawdust I believe the blower pipe was 12"

Excellent video y'all

Very interesting video.

It will help you if you use an elevator to pile the sawdust with save a lot of shovel work

The local sawmills make good money from the waste sawdust and shavings selling to local farmers. The larger mills have a machine that bags the shavings that all the horse and small animals owners spend good money to buy. I am glad to see you have one smart horse owner who is willing to do a little work to save money on bedding.

I live in British Columbia and topsoil is a rare item. They sell it but it's just a mixture of sand, ground up garden waste, stumps, and sawdust. They add moisture and a coloring agent and sell it as topsoil, garden soil, lawn soil etc. Pretty sad, but it's all you can get out here.

A+ vlog guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

Great video while I’m takeing lunch. lol. At the our sawmill. I will say saw dust is good for lots of things. ✌️

Since it is Q&A time what about the circle mill? Retired? Another nice video.

add a little manure from your critters when ya start yer piles. chicken is best and ya get a great fertirizer

I drive a wrecker/rollback. Sawdust works good for oil dry.

that's a good idea what he is doing with some of the beds by putting sticks and limbs in,, later that will rot down and help make better soil. I guess pine will be ok for that,, up here in MO. we have several black walnut trees and the roots will kill tomatoes and peppers and the like, but I think the limbs will fine .

I think the bucket idea is good if you only saw occasionally but I can see how it’s a problem for constantly sawing all day.

Exactly!

You could also burn some of the sawdust and add the ash to your compost pile as well.

We see them!

No Dirt Bike For Ms Britt? 😁

Tylor Britney since you were a ferreur i am surprise you didn't mention this one a friend of mine do get my saw dust plus the shaving from the planneur but i am just a small outfit and one of the main thing that he from my stuff compared to the one he buys at the store seam to him that the one from me helps keeping the flies away i don't know if it is because of the wood smell but that is what he said there was less flies around his animal using the fresh saw dust then the both at the store have a great week end

I mix our sawdust with topsoil and manure and sell it as garden soil

Get a bunch of cats use as cat litter. Just little humor. Happy Friday love your videos.

They use saw shavings for walk ways an saw dust for worm beds mixed with dirt

I've been mixing sawdust and planer shavings with grass clippings for over 35 years. I don't garden but all my friends who do can't get enough of my compost. They call it black gold. Try mixing something green with the sawdust to make better compost. Just dust alone takes forever to break down and the PH is no good.

Why wouldn't an auger, placed parallel to the mill, work to transfer the sawdust into a cart or trailer?

Pine burns hot and fast plus all that pine rosen will build up in your chimney over time and cause a chimney fire if you don't keep you chimney cleaned! Pine is better suited for a camp fire that's about all its good for but some people like to burn it in wood stoves but they clean their chimney every year and people burn any kind of wood in their outside boilers!

Cover that load when out on the highway. The risk of debris flying into traffic is too great. Nice operations.

If you were to spread it on the ground in the wetter areas would it help with the over saturation of the rainwater?

And him to the channel

Is the fine dust good for a raised bed base ?

If you put a layer of dry sawdust in the bottom it will dump easy!

Did you say you were a farrier or a fuhrer? 😉😀Great video...take care and be safe.

How about using it for chicken farmers?

Kingsford will come and get it to make charcoal with

Saw dust!

More than one use for sawdust

Tyler put the word out "free saw dust" great for chicken houses. You do know that chicken poo is a great fertilizer. Just think, saw dust and chicken poo for the garden.

I want to see Brittany riding a dirt bike or ATV.

You could include a gallon of glue and sell the sawdust as an IKEA particle board.

Is it safe enough to sell to local pet stores for hamster bedding

WHY DONT YOU HAVE A SKIDD STEER YA THATS GOOD FORA GARDENS AND STRAWBERRY PACHS

The sawdust needs to be seasoned before it is good food anything. The acid in green sawdust will damage or kill small seedling plants if it is used for mulch.

how much do you charge for your sawdust?

We all know that cavities suck

Even though I live in north central Minnesota my home right now smells like boiled peanuts

Why is that trailer creeking so much?

Good video. Hows about we don't tell you how to shovel your sawdust and you don't tell us in the frozen north how to shovel or scrape the snow! Maybe we could send you some snow? Nahh.

as to your sawdust problem wood, mize never was interested in my idea of a sawdust collection idea the other companies as well did not reply back to me spring time we have the backyard flood from the snowfall we bag the sawdust lay it in the back yard and build the back higher up now run down to the golf course stupid owner pumps it out better than the digging dugout and pumps it in there and use it to irrigate the course with it dumped it away I do have dugout to have been filled up this year i am to busy to build this idea i have for the sawdust collection dairy farm keep use busy

Fall Line Ridge guy hangs a 5 gallon bucket from his sawdust chute to catch it. Seems to work pretty well for him, if you want to try it

@@brantz648 Don't get all butthurt now; he did explain in great detail why he doesn't use a bucket. Seems to work pretty well for him, if you want to try and watch that part of the video. FLR used a bucket because most of the time he was only cutting a handful of logs when he used his LT.

Could attach a twenty foot wide bucket to your tractor. Just kidding.

Why don't you park your trailer closer too your pile so you don't have to drive as far?

Yeah your poor little water on it and it will break down faster.

Composting using sawdust is an approved method for livestock disposal. It’s probably not KZread approved though. 🤔

Get some paraffin and make fire starters. That’s what I do.

Why not make insulation out of it by compressing it into bats Guys cheers for now

yeah, people are not real bright. looks good on paper. lol
