If it is very fine, and you can keep it very dry it might work, but I reckon there are better methods.

Put enough sawdust around your plants against slugs and you start losing nitrogen, which the sawdust needs to breakdown, and your plants start suffering.

I would suggest using a multi pronged attack on slugs, beer traps, pellets if you want to, oatmeal is supposed to good - they eat it and explode as it swells up apparently :twisted:

I bought a great book last year 101 ways to kill a slug I will dig out some tips for you  :lol:
