Aguinaga Green = Biosolid Free


According to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, biosolid compost comprises around 20 tons of the 82,000 tons of solid material removed from the city's sewer every year. The sludge goes to a composting facility where it is mixed with green waste and composted (heated to 130 degrees for 30 days.)


The San Francisco Chronical is reporting that a debate is going on over the safety of this biosolid compost.


You can read the full article here.


Aguinaga Green does NOT use any biosolids in our products. All of our products are derived from tree trimmings and bush trimmings from local tree trimmers.

Cocoa Mulch can be dangerous for your pets



Make sure to buy your ground covers and mulches from Aguinaga Green. Our products are safe for your children and pets.


Cocoa mulch, which is sold at stores like Home Depot and other garden supply centers, can be dangerous to pets. Cocoa mulch contains theobromine and caffeine - two ingredients that could be fatal to dogs.


If a dog eats a few ounces of cocoa mulch, they could get stomach problems. It is especially dangerous for smaller breeds. Dogs may start to act restless and have seizures.


Cocoa mulch contains 300 to 1200 mg. of theobromine per ounce, which makes cocoa mulch one of the strongest concentrations of theobromine a pet may encounter.


All of Aguinaga's products are safe for your pets. Call us today at 1-877-OC-MULCH if you need ground cover or mulches. We also deliver.

Aguinaga is proud to offer...


Nitrolized Fir Shavings: Nitrolized Fir Shavings are nitrogen fortified/stabilized to prevent drag (removal) from the soil. This product is particularly useful in sandy soil to aid in the retention of moisture, slowing percolation and leaching, and thereby aiding in the retention of nutrients.


Nitrolized Fir Chips: Nitrolized Fir Chips are nitrogen fortified/stabilized to prevent nitrogen drag from the soil. The particle size of this material is 3/8 minus and it is excellent as a soil amendment, improving the porosity for excellent drainage as well as good aeration in the soil.
