Tree Dust

[Doug99]

Hi All
My eucalyptus tree has been felled and stump ground out.
I now have a large pile of eucalyptus tree 'dust'.....too small/fine to be considered as chippings.
Can it be put to any use in the garden?
Cheers
Doug

Just spread it.
You may well find it regrows. I drilled mine & poured bleach in it

Just add it to your compost heap if you have one.

I take it the dust is the chainsaw chippings ? (maybe the chainsaw needed sharpened if it is very dusty)
anything more than a few handfuls to a typical home compost heap would overwhelm it.

and if you do spread it around the garden do it very thinly, as it decomposes it will take nitrogen out of your soil - so long term it will do good, but probaly a negative for a couple of years
