Aguinaga's Overstructure Mix

The overstructure mix is formulated to nourish and grow nearly any sort of planting material where there lies a structural limitation regarding weight, and a light weight mix which provides soil nutrients and maximizes drainage is therefore necessary.

Material composition consists of an Aguinaga Green nutrient package carefully selected and blended for quality and performance in order to satisfy general N/P/K requirements. This blend is married to a combination of pumice, sand, and 0-1/4 fir bark. Pumice increases volume at a low weight, and sand assure drainage. Firbark assures adequate nutrient and moisture retention.

There are premium variations of overstructure mixes utilizing alternate materials, and dependent upon application. Each is pH balanced with an emphasis on E.C. (electrical conductivity – which is a measurement of salts as it would relate to plant and soil requirements).

Overstructure mixes are generally two stage, where the top layer consists of a composition growth medium of sand, pumice, organic material, and nutrients, and the lower player consists of a composition drainage medium. More recently a single layer has been incorporated which simplifies installation as well as insures growth medium throughout the profile. This encourages further root growth into the lower planter drainage area.
