Cheers for information, will save me a lot of wasted time researching it further. What is the best way to store and dry saw dust John? We have a wood processor in a dry/clean shed so it is easy for us to collect the sawdust, should we leave it in heap and turn it?

We dry our sawdust on black corrugated tin sheets resting on builders trestles in our polytunnel. Once the moisture content is below 15% we sweep the sawdust into IBC containers with the tops chopped off for storage. We have a forklift with rotator so emptying is no problem. Before we had the forklift we used to store in 45 gallon drums the ones with the removable lids.
