What to do after grinding a tree stump?

What to do with mulch?

Sawdust makes the soil loose, but depletes it and binds some nutrients necessary for normal plant growth. If you plan to plant this area, apply fertilizer. Plants will need phosphorus and nitrogen.

Wood is not a fertilizer; it will saturate the soil with useful substances in about two years. The soil in this place will become loose and nutritious. You can make excellent compost from collected sawdust by mixing it with fallen leaves, or mown grass, manure, urea and ash. Spray it well with water and leave it to rot in a heap. This way they will become fertilizer much faster than if you just leave them in the ground. You will be able to use this fertilizer next year. Keep the sawdust moist.

Usually, paths and playgrounds are filled with collected sawdust. They are often treated like regular mulch. If you make this decision, apply fertilizer under the mulch and everything will be fine.

Preparing soil after tree stump grinding

Sawdust and wood chips make the soil loose, provide drainage, and attract worms. Over time, they will decompose and saturate the soil with humus. Sometimes sawdust acidifies the soil a little, so make sure the Ph is suitable for the plants you want to plant in the area. If necessary, soil acidity can be adjusted. Wood fragments initially deplete the soil. Plants will need nitrogen and phosphorus more than usual. After about a year or two, the sawdust will begin to release nutrients.

The time it takes for sawdust to rot depends on the type of wood. The softer the wood, the faster. Deciduous ones become humus after about 1-2 seasons. Conifers after 3-5 seasons due to the content of resins that prevent decomposition.
