Aguinaga Green Garden Blend Mix

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.

Here's more about Aguinaga Green's Organic blend:

Aguinaga Green's Organic Blend is a fortified planting mix and can be used as general planting medium specifically for vegetable gardens. It contains a substantial level of organic matter and contains naturally available calcium, as well as balanced ingredients that are specially blended to complement plant growth.


Specifications:
BASE FEED STOCK: Base feed stock material consists of uncontaminated clean green shredded tree trimmings and plant material native to the area, by an STA approved facility. There is NO inclusion of grasses of any kind, curbside material, or miscellaneous foreign debris.


COMPOSTING: Material is initially ground to four-inch-minus and composted by the formation of windrows which are turned every three days at a minimum, for fifteen days. During this fifteen day period, moisture, aeration, and temperature will be monitored and recorded to assure that a minimum of 132F degrees is obtained throughout the process. The temperature detailed herein will assure that weeds which can germinate and raw material contained pathogens are destroyed, and a microbial–friendly environment is formed for the production of required plant-growth nutrients. Windrows do not become anaerobic.


MATERIAL PARTICLE SIZE: Material is subsequently screened to the specified 3/8 minus particle size in order to achieve consistency and material uniformity.

As in all Aguinaga products, Aguinaga Green STA composted Organic Blend contains no curbside green waste.
