We are using rice husk as cover material, in our dry composting toilet.
We would like to use the resultant humanure as bedding material and part food for the Eisenia Fetida worms in a vermicomposting bin.
Will the rice husk harm or help the worms and the vermicomposting process as a whole?

Rice husk having very wide C: N ratio probably 80:1 and content very less moisture.Addition of green wastes with narrow C:N ratio (20:1) will help the faster decomposition of the substrates.
Thanks 🙏 Ranjit❗
Will the 'silica' in the rice husk affect the digestion of the worms❓
