Aguinaga Green Garden Blend Mix

OVERVIEW:

Aguinaga Garden blend is a soilless planting media developed in co-ordination with some of the largest and most successful landscape providers in the area.

Sneak a peak in the planters at your local shopping center and you will find most planting is in soilless material.

SOIL vs ATTRIBUTES OF SOILLESS:

Local soils tend to be alkaline (above 7.0 pH) and for almost everything that grows, the “plant preference” would be 6.5-7.0 pH. or slightly acidic. This is because to “uptake” nutrients, the nutrients need to be soluble and the slightly acidic soil promotes this process.

Resident and import soils tend to be toward the clay end of the “clay, sand, silt spectrum” and tends to compact. And compacted soil inhibits root penetration and subsequent growth among other things.

Further, clay soils are subject to anaerobic conditions due their tight particle matrix and resulting lack of oxygen; a problem in the root boundaries. Also, poor infiltration rates typically occur in this media which can relate to problems getting moisture in - as well as to problems getting drainage away from the root zone.

The properties of import soils available today vary greatly - and therefor each has a specific and different requirement for a specific amendment. That said, nearly any soil can be amended by Aguinaga.

Soilless material by contrast – is made mostly from organic inputs and is relatively constant; and as a plus is void of renegade disease and seeds.

Aguinaga Garden Blend has a substantial and balanced nutrient package.
