Planting a Vegetable Garden?



If you're planting a vegetable garden, make sure you pick up some of Aguinaga's Organic blend mix. You can pick it up or we can also deliver it. Call 1-877-OC-MULCH for ordering and for delivery prices.

Here's more about Aguinaga Green's Organic blend:

Aguinaga Green's Organic Blend is a fortified planting mix and can be used as general planting medium specifically for vegetable gardens. It contains a substantial level of organic matter and contains naturally available calcium, as well as balanced ingredients that are specially blended to complement plant growth.


Specifications:
BASE FEED STOCK: Base feed stock material consists of uncontaminated clean green shredded tree trimmings and plant material native to the area, by an STA approved facility. There is NO inclusion of grasses of any kind, curbside material, or miscellaneous foreign debris.


COMPOSTING: Material is initially ground to four-inch-minus and composted by the formation of windrows which are turned every three days at a minimum, for fifteen days. During this fifteen day period, moisture, aeration, and temperature will be monitored and recorded to assure that a minimum of 132F degrees is obtained throughout the process. The temperature detailed herein will assure that weeds which can germinate and raw material contained pathogens are destroyed, and a microbial–friendly environment is formed for the production of required plant-growth nutrients. Windrows do not become anaerobic.


MATERIAL PARTICLE SIZE: Material is subsequently screened to the specified 3/8 minus particle size in order to achieve consistency and material uniformity.

As in all Aguinaga products, Aguinaga Green STA composted Organic Blend contains no curbside green waste.
