Reading your post again, I wonder how you propose to contain the saw dust with
wire mesh? May I suggest, that you use leaves instead? there are plenty of those
lying around everywhere. In spring you can use them as mulch for weed control or
around your tomatoes and such to balance the moisture for blossom end rot
prevention, or simply compost them. You can use saw dust for all of those things
too, as long as you are aware that it uses a lot of nitrogen, when decomposing
potentially depriving your plants of it.
