Can sawdust be used to grow flowers?

1. Can I grow flowers?

Sawdust can be used to grow flowers, and the effect is very good. It is also helpful for the growth of plants. Correct use can make the substrate softer and prevent the soil from becoming compacted and airtight. Moreover, it is very suitable for propagation by cuttings. However, it must be composted before use. If you put it directly into a flowerpot to grow flowers, the temperature will easily rise during the later fermentation, which will damage the roots of the plant.

2. Fermentation method

Put clean wood chips, cake fertilizer and chicken manure into the bag at the same time and add some water. After that, seal the bag and put it in a warm place. Wait for about 1-2 months until it ferments into dark brown, then you can use it.

3. Notes

1. Some sawdust can be used to grow flowers, such as the sawdust used in decoration, because it contains formaldehyde, paint and other substances, which are not good for the root system of plants.

2. Make sure the wood chips are clean before use, otherwise it will easily become infested with insects, and the plants are also very fragile and may become sick as a result.
