Sawdust and Culp-dirt as Soil Amendments in Tree Growth
The article contrasts raw sawdust with decayed chip dirt as soil amendments. Raw sawdust harms roots when buried but helps as surface mulch, especially with ashes. Culp-dirt, fully oxidized and black, promotes growth when mixed through soil, keeping it open and permeable and feeding roots. Printed bill heads offered by Tae Sewn office.
