You cannot grow plants in sawdust because plants do not and will not grow in wood. They need top soil. Actually you can grow plants in sawdust, wood chips, gravel or polystyrene beads if you wish using a system called Hydroponics. The sawdust etc are just there as an inert substance to support the root structure of the plant, while all its nutrient requirements are added to its water supply. This system is used commerically for growing many plants, including tomatoes. It has the advantages of being totally controllable and the inert growing mediums can be rendered disease free.
