Rice Husk Biochar
(Also known as Carbonized Rice Hull)
Rice Husk Biochar (or Carbonized Rice Hull - CRH) is produced by heating rice hulls in low oxygen environments. It is an excellent soil amendment that can enhance soil drainage, moisture-holding capacity, and aeration in growing mediums. Incorporating rice husk biochar into your soil helps support the rice farming industry by making use of its by-products
BENEFITS of Using Rice Husk Biochar (CRH) in the Garden
1. Weed Suppression and Mulch - CRH act as a natural wee barrier when used as mulch in the garden.
2. Soil Amendment - When added to the soil, CRH can absorb and retain moisture and improve soil structure by enhancing aeration and drainage. They prevent soil compaction and allow better root penetration.
3. Nutrient Retention - CRH has the ability to absorb and retain nutrients, making them available to plants over an extended period. It contains provides basic nutrients like Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium and Silica.
4. pH Balancing - CRH have a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, which makes it ideal for balancing acidic soil.
5. Pest Control - CRH can deter against certain soil bound pests, like slugs and snails.
6. Sustainable and eco-friendly - Using CRH is environment -friendly. As a by-product in rice farming, using CRH in the garden also helps rice farmers in increasing their income.
