Opis

Until only about 50 years ago, home vegetable gardens were as important a part of rural households as televisions and computers are today. But now they are rare, because modern agricultural production, marketing and distribution technologies have made the supermarket an equally economical source of vegetables as growing them in the family garden. So why have a vegetable garden? Because it can be fun and enjoyable to produce nutritious food for family and friends. In this booklet, author Allen Morris, who has a master's degree in agriculture, but more importantly, a lifetime of gardening experience, will take you through every step: developing a garden plan, soil preparation, fertilizing, planting, irrigation, weed control, disease and insect control, and harvest and post-harvest handling.
