Soil Analysis for Locally Grown Strawberries

Many of us drive by local agriculture on our daily drive. 

What you may not know is that Aguinaga not only supplies everything from various cover mulches to specialized soil amendments, but also is actively involved in the Agriculture industry supplying amendments that enrich the soil and aid in robust growth and positive results.

Here Roger Aguinaga - president of Aguinaga Green and Garn Wallace of Wallace Labs, inspect roots of strawberry plants to evaluate their condition. To do this, soil is analyzed as well as plant tissues in order to evaluate the plant uptake of nutrients and any requirement or deficiency that may be evident.

There is no soil that can not be amended

Seldom is any soil found in an ideal condition for general planting.

Aguinaga regularly analyzes soil samples provided to us by surrounding theme parks and cities, landscapers, and our local customers.

Usually the simple blending of amendments will correct deficiencies such as soil compaction, condition the soil relative to porosity, aeration, and percolation - and as well augment low levels of nutrients.

With few exceptions there is virtually no soil that can not be amended.

Research with University of Riverside

Aguinaga Green continues to be active in supporting research with University of Riverside. Shown here, is a material mixed specifically to amend a test plot which will be involved with research in the eradication of Asian Citrus psyllid.

Soil Core Sample

Aguinaga Green is actively involved in solving city landscape problems. Here, Roger Aguinaga extracts a soil core sample for analysis. The maple trees on this particular median were experiences tip burn - and Aguinaga Green analyzed the soil and designed a custom mix to fix the problem.

Spreading Mulch and Amendments

Aguinaga spreads mulch and amendments for everything from local community soccer and baseball fields to the still visible and viable agricultural segment of Southern California.

Our hydraulic driven spreaders can accomplish a homogeneous quarter inch thick spread thirty feet wide, and dial up to as much as a delivery of twenty tons of amendment per acre.
