A:Wheat Bran is high in phytic acid, which is a saturated cyclic phosphate-based acid. Soil microbes can break down phytic acid, making it available for plants to use. This process releases phosphorus, a whopping 15% amino acids (by weight), and plenty of carbohydrates (50% by weight), making it a highly effective soil amendment.
Can I use Wheat Bran along with other soil amendments?
