If you have ever tried to compost at your home, even inadvertently by leaving a pile or canister of grass for a week after cutting the lawn, you will notice something very obvious: THE SMELL.
The smell; hydrogen sulfide which smells like rotten eggs and is one of the more offensive odors to human beings and is caused by the grass clumping together because of it’s base structure and becoming anaerobic – or lacking in oxygen.
Grass also tends to be nitrogen rich, and once again can pose problems in this regard if large clumps of grass become anaerobic - the resulting odor produced in this case is ammonia; another of the odors quite offensive to us.
By contrast, if you visit the Aguinaga site in beautiful Baker Canyon, California and wander amongst thousands of yards of composting material you will find only a woodsy/outdoors rather pleasant odor, as unlike many competitors, we do not allow grass or any other curbside waste into our composting raw material stream.
Much harder to control? Yes! But you enjoy the results when our product is used in and around your home.
