Buckwheat Hulls

An attractive economical sustainable mulching alternative. Cover your beds with a thin layer of hulls, ½–1" thick: it will look sparse at first and the hulls may seem light enough to blow away in a good breeze. They will swell up nicely after a rain or two and settle down to a summer of weed and grass suppression. OGS staffer Renee uses them in chicken nest boxes to keep eggs clean, and they make chick brooder poop patrol a breeze—clumping litter for chickens!

We have a surprise customer base for these hulls from people who use them not to mulch, but for making zafus and other pillows. We happily sell them to gardeners and meditators alike. MOFGA.
