Redwood Sawdust as mulch???

Any opinions appreciated. I have access to a good quantity of Redwood sawdust. Any reason not use as mulch around edibles? I am already using it around blueberries and Hansen's sand cherry bushes as I knew they would be OK with the acidic soil. But what about vegies?
Thanks,

I once worried over the whole 'N' loss thing too but have been told by a LSU Ag professor that as long as you are not mixing this into the soil but only using saw dust as a top dressing (mulch) you will have no big problems.
And on changing soil pH again from the same gentleman ... soil pH is impossible to change. Anything you do to your soil to change pH is a passing thing at best.
So I have been told by one who should know and so I pass along ;o)
