I was looking for something online and came across this:
http://www.groworganic.com/rice-hulls-50-lb-bag.html
The description says:
"This uniquely processed rice hull amendment is a readily renewable resource requiring no mining or land disruption to produce. As so many growers have learned, it is a perfect replacement for perlite in the growing media - providing a less dusty mixing environment, lower basic cost and decomposition over time, while remaining stable during the typical plant production cycle. PBH Nature's Media Amendment is OMRI listed and WSDA registered for organic production. Extremely lightweight and highly compressed when packaged, it generates less waste and reduces storage requirements, handling and freight. De-compressed, it is 7.5 cu. ft. Its physical size, shape and bulking properties produce optimum air-filled pore space, water-holding capacity and drainage, while its natural color blends with other media components. Uniquely processed to ensure purity, PBH Nature's Media Amendment is sized, cleaned and subjected to a series of heat treatments that collectively sterilize the rice hulls and render any residual rice kernels, weed seeds or disease pathogens non-viable. Greenhouse-proven PBH Nature's Media Amendment offers environmental, horticultural and economical advantages. Growers who rely on it gain sustainability, reduce input costs and sacrifice nothing in terms of plant quality."
Have any of y'all tried using Rice Hulls and if so how'd they work out? If they were good I might pick up some to add to the raised beds I'll be building.
