Hi there,
We're gearing up to build our first hugelkultur beds next week (in Quebec Canada) and have lots of white oak sawdust (from a woodworking shop). Would it be helpful to throw this in the mix, and if so should it go in with clippings and leaves around the logs/ branches? Or does it add so little nutrient/ structural value that we'd be better off using it for the paths between beds?
Does it make sense to integrate animal manure with the sawdust to help with decomposition, or should we just keep the manure for the upper layers?
We also have access to lots of comfrey leaves (which I understand to be great for accelerating composting). Where would they best go in the layers?
Thanks so much, I'm very excited about this project!
