Construyendo Huertos Caseros
Un huerto bien administrado y productivo es una delicia. Este puede proveerle a su familia y a usted con una variedad de vegetales nutritivos y saludables que pueden ser disfrutados frescos o en conserva para su utilización en el futuro. El trabajar en un huerto casero también puede ser un pasatiempo gratificante, un proyecto para miembros 4-H y una manera en la cual mejoramos nuestra condición física. Aunque es cierto que podemos comprar en el supermercado vegetales frescos de alta calidad, congelados o enlatados, muchos de nosotros estamos inclinándonos más hacia el cultivo de vegetales en nuestro propio hogar para suplementar los alimentos que compramos en el supermercado.
[A well-tended, fruitful garden is a delight. It can supply you and your family with a variety
of nutritious, healthful vegetables to be enjoyed fresh or preserved for later use.
Gardening can also be a rewarding hobby, a project for 4-H members and a way to improve
your physical fitness. Although it’s true that we can buy quality fresh, frozen or
canned vegetables in supermarkets, many of us are turning to gardening to supplement
our store-bought food. This publication explains everything you need to know about growing a successful home vegetable or herb garden.]|
