OverviewGARDENZ Pure Rice Hulls are used to deter annoying fungus gnats, as a perlite substitute, or as weed control in outdoor containers. To use as a fungus gnat deterrant, simply add a 0.5"-0.75" layer to the surface of the soil, covering the soil completely. It works as a physical barrier they can't get through. If using as a perlite subsitute, blend with soil as needed. Note: You can use up to 10% less Rice Hulls as compared to perlite and still acheive the same level of porosity (or fluffiness) in your soil. If using as a mulch for weed control in outdoor containers, apply a 1" to 2" layer for best results. Rice Hulls break down into Phosphorus and Silica in the soil as they are eaten by soil microbes. When blended into soil as a perlite substitute, GARDENZ Pure Rice Hulls last about 3 seasons before they dissapear completely in soil. After applying GARDENZ Pure Rice Hulls to your containers or garden, sit back and enjoy a tasty beverage while admiring your work! GARDENZ Pure Rice Hulls are extremely lightweight. This makes them especially ideal for making soil loose and airy, which helps plants draw the oxygen they need through their roots. GARDENZ Pure Rice Hulls are the the husks around rice grains that are removed in processing. We often use rice hulls to aerate, improve drainage, and retain water in our soils. Unlike the commonly used perlite and vermiculite, rice hulls are renewable resources. They do not have to be mined and no land is disrupted in their production: they would otherwise be considered a waste product! Unlike those other products.
