Agromin

After a rainy winter, now is the time to take steps to make sure garden and landscape soil is ready for spring planting.

Spring officially begins March 20 but there is no need to wait to start planning and planting your spring garden and landscape projects.

Agromin has now converted 5 million tons of green waste into compost since it began operation in 1993.

Average temperatures in southern California are at their highest in August making it a challenging month to keep gardens looking their best.

While summer heat is not far away, typical gloomy June weather in southern California can make the month ideal for planting a garden and catching up on yard maintenance.

Summer is almost upon us. May is when to plant vegetables and flowers so they are well established before summer heat takes hold.

With rainfall totals below average in southern California, April is the time to plant smart while saving water in spring and summer.

Agromin’s new Chino organics recycling facility is turning green waste collected from surrounding cities into 100 percent organic compost that is used by local growers and commercial landscapers.

October is a busy planting month, with cooler temperatures making it easier for plants and trees to take hold and thrive, says Agromin, an Oxnard-based manufacturer of earth-friendly compost products made from organic materials.

In a unanimous 5-0 vote on September 15, 2015, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved a zoning change that will enable Agromin to expand its composting facility on Limoneira Company property near Santa Paula, Calif.
