If you can, designate two areas for your shavings etc and dump all in the
first, for the first year, and all in the second the second year. Use the
first years's stuff in the second year if you are still with me, and like
that. By the time you are ready to use it , the nastys should be (gone?)

I turned some bowls this weekend and ended up with a large trash can
full of shavings.

Can they be used as mulch for gardening? Are there any other
recommendations for the use of the shavings.

I have mainly been turning Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Ash, if that
helps.

thanks,
Steve
