    So, rather than start a new thread called "dumbass amateur questions"...

    ...how are the amateur folk amongst us who live in the suburbs getting rid of their wood shavings and sawdust without using a wood-burning stove? There's only so many barbecues you can have...

    Anyone have any ideas how to get that weathered grey stain look on wood? I've had no joy finding an actual grey wood stain, so im toying with the idea of watering down some satin wood finish grey paint.

    i think i saw a video showing how baking soda can be used to age wood - though i think not nearly as much as the silvering you're possibly referring to?

    Compost heap for softwood and hard wood shavings make a good mulch straight off but can also go on the compost heap.

    i'm lucky enough that i can pile them up the end of the garden and use *ahem* a natural compost accelerant on them.
