    Water Spinach Production for Georgia

    New

    This resource provides an overview of water spinach cultivation for Georgia. Water spinach is an important part of the cuisine of a number of cultures. However, it can spread easily in waterways and is considered a noxious weed in many places. This resource addresses responsible production of water spinach, if permitted by the state of Georgia.

    Gardening in Containers

    Growing plants in containers differs from growing plants in the ground. Poorly drained potting mixture can lead to root problems. Under conditions of excess moisture and poor aeration, roots become stressed and are easily invaded by root rotting fungi. Under these circumstances, plants fail to grow properly or even die.

    In addition to guidance on soil preparation, this bulletin provides information on selecting containers, planting and fertilizing container plants, a list of plants recommend for container gardens.

    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.

    In inglés, this publication explains everything you need to know about growing a successful home vegetable or herb garden.
