This section of the Home & Garden Edition covers organic gardening practices. The USDA National Organic Program has established rules for commercial organic production. These rules do not apply to home gardeners, but they are a useful guide for choosing organic pest management alternatives. Beginning in 2022, the Home & Garden Edition has been updated biennially. When purchasing a product based on a first-year recommendation of the Handbook, check the current product label before purchase to be sure it is still labeled for the use for which you are buying it. For pesticide products you have on hand from earlier purchases, you are allowed to use them until they are depleted without penalty under the law. Always follow label instructions before use. Contact the product’s manufacturer for the most up-to-date label.

• Las siguientes páginas “Limpieza ecológica: Recetas para un Hogar Saludable”, deben
imprimirse por las dos caras de un papel de calidad gruesa.
• Las recetas con números impares se imprimirán en un lado de la cara del papel y las de
números pares en el otro lado de la cara del papel.
• De tal manera, cada receta puede cortarse y laminarse (o usted puede laminar la página
completa y después cortar cada receta por separado).
• Abra un hueco en el espacio de la parte superior izquierda de cada receta.
• Tenga cuidado, no haga el hueco cerca del borde de la receta, donde se pueda romper al
usarla.
• Apile cada receta empezando con los números impares encima.
• Manténgalas juntas usando un aro que atraviese el hueco de todas las recetas.|
