Vegetable Garden Mixes


Spring is a great time to start a vegetable garden.

Aguinaga Green has two different mixes for vegetable gardens.

The first one, Organic Blend, is if you have existing soil and you are looking for an amendment.

The second mix, Veggie Mix, is if you do not have existing soil for your vegetable garden.

Both are available in bags or in bulk (cubic yard).  We deliver too!

As always, if we can make you a custom mix if you're looking for something specific.
