Top Dressing ( Mulch ) With Rice Hulls With Wonderland Nursery

Any vid with him is worth watching. He's a natural teacher.

 

I mix a ton rice hulls in my vmc top dress. It works great! It reminds of natural forest needle litter.

are you no-till or reuse?

 

I do both. It works out now to be 2 or 3 no tills, then a recycle. This is kinda due to winter being only indoor so I have soil+ containers that are not in use and stockpile soil.
I love rice hulls so much that I add them to compost, then store that for a while with worms, then add more and run that thru a wormbin, then add a little more to drop dress.
The vmc kinda sinks itself below the rice hulls and self mulches.
Its also really sweet cause I run out of mulch toward the end of winter, and straw is just too dawn messy if I have to move pots from inside to the green house, or vice versa.
When I initially top dress my vmc looks like this
