Paddy husk, which is also called rice husk, is the outer layer of rice that is separated from the grain when it is milled.
Rice hulls are one of the most sustainable ways to improve drainage, water retention, and air circulation in the soil.
It doesn’t need to be mined like perlite and other rock products, and it doesn’t disturb the land like peat moss does.
Here are some common ways to use:
Fertiliser: Paddy husk can be used as fertiliser because it has a lot of silica and other nutrients that plants need to grow.
Soil amendment: It can be used as a soil amendment.
IMPROVES SOIL FERTILITY: It is used in organic farming to make the soil more fertile.
Mulch: Rice husk is used as mulch for plants. It controls how dry or wet the soil is and how fast weeds grow.
Compost: Paddy husk adds to the nutrients in compost. It has the silica, potassium, and calcium that plants need to grow.
Paddy husk is used to improve the structure and drainage of soil. The organic matter in it makes the soil more fertile.
POTTING MIX: Paddy husk can be part of potting mixtures for plants in containers. Roots need good air circulation and drainage to grow.
Erosion can be stopped with paddy husk on steep slopes and in poor soil. It holds things in place and stops erosion.
Lastly, paddy husk can improve the health of the soil and help plants grow.
For organic farming, it’s a good idea to mix rice hulls with volcanic rock or pumice as soil amendments (not mulch) to help the soil breathe.
If your soil is full of microbes, the rice hulls will break down over time, giving the microbes something to do. The waste is good for the soil.
