Description: DRIED HULLS RICE HUSKS ORGANIC COMPOST DRY NATURAL HYDROPONIC GROWING Compost Production and Soil Improvement Perhaps the most obvious and common use of rice hulls is their use as a soil amendment, typically in the form of compost production. The primary advantage of using rice hulls is their availability in large quantities, and their ability to bulk up and increase the volume of compost that can be produced. Rice hulls provide a dense source of carbon which, when composted, can increase the water and nutrient holding capacity of soil, improve soil aggregation, porosity, infiltration, and many other key beneficial soil physical characteristics. Keep in mind that rice hulls are high in carbon and should be mixed with additional nitrogen-rich materials such as green matter and manure in order to make a well-balanced soil amendment. It is worth noting that the high percentage of carbon provided by rice hulls makes for a good soil conditioner but does not in and of itself provide high amounts of plant essential nutrients needed for uptake. That being said, rice hulls must be mixed with other nutrient rich materials to make high quality compost to be used as a fertilizer. Rice hulls can also be mixed with cow or poultry Biochar Production Turning rice hulls into a useful soil amendment can be taken one step further with the production of ‘biochar’. Through the process of ‘pyrolysis’ (burning in a low oxygen environment), any carbon-based material can be transformed into charcoal. Charcoal is a highly porous and stabilized form of carbon that can be used to improve soil fertility when combined with other nutrient sources. This additional step of mixing, or ‘ageing,’ charcoal with nutrient sources such as manures and compost is what makes ‘biochar’ unique Fuel and Briquette Production Using simple appropriate technologies, rice hulls can be mixed with other carbon-based materials found on the farm and pressed into ‘briquettes’ that can be used as an alternative fuel source to firewood and charcoal Rice hulls can also be used directly as a fuel source and do not necessarily need to be pressed into briquettes to be of use, this process simply adds value and can be used to produce briquettes for income generation. Supplemental Construction MaterialRice hulls can be used as a supplemental construction material in natural or sustainable buildingRice hulls are useful in that they provide a natural material used for adding volume and bulk, they do not easily break down over time, and typically do not harbor molds or fungus due to their inability to absorb moisture. In addition, rice hulls are good insulators and are an extremely lightweight material.Bedding for Hog/Chicken Deep Litter SystemsOne of the more common uses of rice hulls in Asia is in animal husbandry, most commonly as a source of livestock bedding. Deep litter pig systems and deep litter chicken systems are common, and bring several benefits over Livestock Feed SupplementIn terms of a livestock feed material, rice hulls are considered a low value roughage. Protein content of rice hulls are generally low (~3.8% dry matter), while crude fiber is high (~40%), and are thus used as a ‘filler’ and sometimes for stimulating appetite. Though rice hulls are generally considered a low-value feed material, it is important to note that they can be included in small amounts (up to 15%) in ruminant and hog feed concentrates (AFRIS, 2002). Research has shown that grinding or steaming of rice hulls leads to higher digestible energy intake while ammonia or urea treatment of rice hulls can also aid in the digestibility and nutritive quality of rice hulls (FAO). These are common practices and can make an economic concentration to feeds considering the low cost of rice hulls. It is important to note the considerable differences between rice hulls and rice bran, the latter having higher overall nutritive value.Potting Mix ProductionRice hulls can make an excellent base material for those that seek to produce their own potting mixes on the farm. Rice hulls, when mixed with other materials (compost, manure, soil, etc…) provide volume, drainage, and porosity, characteristics essential for growing sensitive seedlings of vegetables and fruit trees Rice hulls can provide a cheap and available alternative to perlite, which can be expensive or hard to come by in some regions. Once again, rice hulls are limited in their ability to supply nutrients to the plants, and used in this case as a soil ‘medium’ rather than a source of fertility.To increase the effectiveness of rice hulls in potting mixes, it is recommended that they be sterilized to prevent the spread of fungal and bacterial pathogens in the nursery setting. Smoked or parched rice hulls, and pyrolized (biochar) rice hulls will bring added benefits when used to make potting mixes (AVDRC,Mushroom Production Substrate Mycelium can be propagated by inoculating any number of different substrates, and what is typically used often depends on what is locally available or affordable. Hardwood sawdust and straw are two of the most common substrates used for growing mushrooms worldwide, but a variety of other options exist including, coconut coir, manure, old coffee grounds, and yes… rice hulls. Oyster and Milky mushrooms have been shown to grow on rice hull only substrate, as well as mixed rice hull substrates.Growing Medium in Hydroponics/Aquaponics SystemsGrowing plants in a ‘soilless’ system such as in a hydroponics or aquaponics system requires the use of a ‘growing medium’.Payments Payoneer master cardCredit card, Debit cardApple pay, Google payPay pal, Paypal credit Shipping Details Shipping by sri lanka registered post with online tracking number.Items are shipped within 3-5 business days.
