Rice Husk

• Rice husk are one of the most sustainable soil amendments available for improving drainage, water holding capacity and aeration. Unlike perlite and other rock products, it does not require mining; unlike peat moss it does not require land disruption to produce it.

• For your garden soil, spread about a two" layer across the surface when you fertilize in the spring, and mix it into the top 6–12" of soil.
• For potted plants, you should mix 10–50% rice hulls into the potting soil.
• Rice hulls are extremely lightweight, so they’re especially ideal for rooftop gardening or other gardens that require an amendment to make your soil lighter.
• You can use rice hulls as a mulch for your bedding, similar to how you would use straw.
• Rice Husk can be used for cat litter , bio char for soil enrichment , pest repellent , fuel for heating stoves , composting.  
• Powder form of husk can be used to feed cattles.
