Mixed With Rice Hulls-Filler ($/#)

Rice hulls are commonly used as a bulking filler in native grass and wildflower mixtures to improve the seed flow through the seeding equipment and for improved distribution. We recommend a total seeding weight of 10# to the acre (if your seed mix weighs 3# to the acre - add 7# of rice hulls). Rice hulls will be mixed with your seed when placed in the same order.
