I've have been putting all sorts of kitchen scraps in the composter over the course of a out two years. Browns in the form of twigs, shipping containers, and whatever else paper products that didn't have plastic on them went in. Just a week or so ago I found out about the optimal ratio of 3×1 browns to greens.
I read a while back that sawdust makes for a good "browns" ammendment to everything else. Is that true?
These are two huge bags of hardwood sawdust from a cabinet factory. Is this something that will help bring my compost from that black substance to compost that I am actually comfortable sticking my hand into? I'm not trying to spam the sub 2ith another browns question, but I wanted to double check.
Is there anything else you feel I should know?

That’s a lot but it will make good compost even on its own
Dont add it all at once but use it when you add greens and turn. Also helpful to apply around the perimeter of bins and piles that may be leaking leachate liquid.
