Hi ...I use saw dust and wood shavings from my wood shop for deep litter bedding in my coop mostly the shavings are very small either from my planer or from my lathe and are oak and cypress. I have been storing the litter I clean from the coop in 55 gal drums along with the straw I use for nest boxes .My plan is to spread it on top of my garden and not mix it into the soil and use as mulch and the chicken manure as fertilizer when I water or when it rains. I have read a lot about wood shavings and saw dust robbing nitrogen from the soil so I thought this approach may work . I was wondering if anyone has tried this Thanks for reading....
