Hardwood sawdust

[ChrisJM]

Hey,
I am looking for some Hardwood sawdust and wondered where the best place to look for some is?
Me and the wife are starting a mushroom farm in east sussex and Hardwood is a good source for these little things to grow on,
If anyone could help or advise where the best place to look is that would be great.

thank you

Next time you holiday in Cyprus I'll give you a couple dustbin bags full to take back with you.

Or you could look through yellow pages to find a joinery business near you.

A local sawmill would be my first call.

My workshop is in east sussex and depending what projects Ive had on I sometimes have up to a few binbags of hardwood shavings, rather than dust.

My neighbours on the yard where my workshop is sell mushroom grow kits for pearl oysters and exotic pink ones, so there are always test kits sprouting mushrooms everywhere in the corridors which is fun, and they had told me before that hardwood shavings are a good substrate, Id been meaning to try it...

My supply might be too irregular but if you want to PM your email address Ill let you know when Ive next got a bounty. Otherwise there's a sawmill in Uckfield who mill a lot of oak who could probably provide heaps of the stuff...

I'm also in East Sussex so may be able to help.
Also, if you let us know a more accurate location I know a few other places that may be more local to you.
