composting

Question

I have recently floored our bungalow with White Oak, it had a protective layer on the top side.
The planks needed planing, on the sides, width, to fit round the edge of the rooms.
This left me with a large sack of the shavings. Can the shavings be either: –

Added to a compost heap in small amounts,
used as a mulch, or
spread over the soil (I have Clay) and dug in?

Answer 1

Yes, wood chips that are from a kiln dried wood are safe to use right away as a mulch.
