[USCC] Plywood Sawdust in Compost

[Adam Grover]

We have had some experience with MDF dust. I think if you used small amounts
like 5% to 10% you would be fine. We had trouble breaking down the
formaldehydes and it made though to the finished product.

Sawdust from plywood for composting

Does anyone have experience using plywood sawdust for carbon as a small
percentage of a compost recipe? I am not sure how formaldehydes may
affect finished products in small doses.
