“Forest Floor” mulch and nutrients

Nitrogen is a nutrient - macro nutrient actually - and is part of chlorophyll; the green pigment in plants that is responsible for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into starches and sugars - - which are foods to plants and to all growing things. Essentially, with the sun’s energy, the process takes carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen and oxygen from water to do this.

Composting of “clean green” as is done at Aguinaga, puts nitrogen as well as other nutrients back into the system. When temperatures are too low, or when compost becomes anaerobic (lacking oxygen), or when there is no moisture present, nutrients can not multiply. And when compost becomes too hot, the nutrients are eliminated.

Trademarked “Forest Floor” composted mulches made by Aguinaga, are carefully processed to assure a maximum benefit for you in your gardens.
