During the processing of buckwheat into cereals, husks remain.
And this is not trash at all. Such remains are an excellent gardening tool.
There are two options for using husks in a country house.
An expert from the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, reminded us about these methods.
Soil condition improver
The first interesting property of buckwheat husks is the “ability” to make the soil looser.
In addition, buckwheat hulls are a source of potassium, phosphorus, sodium and other useful components.
Therefore, it makes sense to add the husk when digging the soil in the fall or spring.
The result of the procedure will be an improvement in the condition of the soil cover: the soil will become lighter and more fertile.
Mulching material
Buckwheat husks can also be used as mulch.
Just cover the soil with husks and the soil will remain sufficiently moist.
In addition, the risk of weeds and soil crust formation will be reduced.
