Aguinaga Materials Overview

General Ground Cover: 0-2 (particle size in inches)
Aguinaga ground covers are made from shredded tree trimmings and plant material that has been fully composted to STA standards established by the American Compost Council, which require the material to pass stringent testing after being exposed to 132degrees F for a period of time which eliminates seeds and pathogens. It is an economical, nitrogen stabilized material with a rich brown color that will preserve ground moisture, help prevent weeds, and add a pleasant contrast continuum to any garden area and deteriorates at a slow rate.

General Ground Cover: ½ to 1½ (particle size in inches)
This ground cover - similar to the one above but with a finer particle size - is made from native shredded tree trimmings and plant material. It is screened for uniformity, nitrogen stabilized and used for ground cover as well as for tree box mixes.

General Purpose Amendment (GPS2)
GPS2 is a fully composted soil amendment (thereby void of renegade seeds and deleterious pathogens) made from clean-green recycled material that can be used for back-fill material for planting shrubs and plants, or rototilled into the soil as a general amendment.

It is nitrogen stable – that is will not create nitrogen drag from the soil and plantings, and will generally achieve improved soil moisture retention in sandy soils and alleviate compaction in clay laden soils.

Planter Mix:
Planter mix is great for shallow planter boxes and color burst. It contains mature peat moss for micro nutrient supply as well as pearlite and redwood to help maintain moisture.

Seed Topper:
Seed topper, as the name implies is designed mainly to be used for covering seeds, but in many cases can be used as mulch, for planting mediums as a back-fill amendment. As a top dressing, the material can be used to dress walked-on corners, or for re-seeding turf.
