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.
