This natural, sustainable, and renewable alternative to peat, vermiculite, and perlite makes an impressive growing media when mixed with compost or your favorite potting soil. These rice hulls are specially processed to contain no diseases, weed seeds, or insects.
For Container Planting:
- Topdressing with 1 to 2 inches dramatically improves weed control.
- Reduces potential for drought stress.
- Increases porosity in growing media, which allows for more air flow and better water drainage.
- Better airflow and drainage around the roots encourages strong growth and reduces the risk of disease development.
- Minimal drift or floating within potting mixes.
- As a byproduct of rice production, rice hulls are a renewable and sustainable product.
For Greenhouse Production as a Replacement for Perlite:
- Lower basic cost than perlite
-
Creates optimum porosity, drainage and stability
-
Requires little or no adjustment to fertility and irrigation
-
Dramatically less dusty than perlite
-
Less freight, labor, storage and packaging
-
Natural color blends well with other media components
