How to get your orange tree from this...
To This!
Drainage is very important. If you're going to plant the citrus trees in planter boxes, it's important that the box has more than one outlet for drainage. Also, it's best to put down four to six inches of crushed rock and sand to improve drainage.
We suggest our Planter Mix for citrus trees. Here's some key points about this one of a kind and specialized mix only available at Aguinaga Green:
BASE FEED STOCK:
Base feed stock material will consist of the following:
Peat moss; which when mixed in the soil improves structure and can
increase acidity. Perhaps it’s most important function is in retention of water
when the soil is dry, and yet preventing the excess of water from killing roots
when it is wet. Peat is also important for the storage of nutrients, although it
is not fertile itself.
Aguinaga Green, Humus; which begins as “clean green” ground to four-
inch-minus and composted by the formation of windrows and turned every
three days at a minimum, for fifteen days. During this period, moisture,
aeration, and temperature are monitored to assure a minimum of 132F
degrees is obtained throughout the process thus eliminating weeds and
pathogens and leaving a microbial–friendly environment for the production of
required plant-growth nutrients.
Aguinaga Humus is subsequently screened to the specified 3/8 minus particle
size and aged for six months.
Redwood; redwood decomposes very slowly and contains tannic acid, which
is a fairly week acid that acts as an antifungal and pest deterrent.
Perlite; an amorphous volcanic glass, is a standard amendment added for it’s
light weight and water retention characteristics.
