The short answer is that all sawdust will grow is thistles. The longer version is that wood celulose temporarily takes a great deal of available nitrogen from the soil in the decaying process. It makes the soil less fertile than it was before. Only plants which can tolerate a nitrogen shortage can grow in that environment. Some types of wood are toxic to certain plants and animals. Black walnut, for example, is murder on tomato plants and horses. Cherry leaves, dried, are also poisonous to horses and children. Ten years after a portable sawmill bandmill in one area of the farm, the grass has just returned to the sawdust piles. If you want thistles and thorns, mulch with wood products.
