Specialized Wood Shavings for Commercial Farming and Horticulture
Wood strippings are processed wood materials derived from various sources such as forestry operations, sawmill residues, and landscaping debris. They are commonly used for mulching, soil amendment, and erosion control due to their natural appearance and biodegradability. Proper management of wood strippings can enhance landscape aesthetics and improve soil health.
Wood strippings serve multiple purposes including mulch, composting material, and ground cover for landscaping projects.
Applying wood strippings as mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and add organic matter to the soil.
Wood residues are obtained from sawmills, logging operations, and tree removal services, making them a readily available material.
Using wood strippings can reduce waste and support sustainable land management practices when sourced responsibly.
