VEGETABLES
• lb control weeds in the garden: prevent weed seed germination, destroy weeds that sprout before they bear seed, and do not use mulches or compost contaminated with weed seeds.
• Stay out of the garden when foliage is wet. Walking through a wet garden spreads disease from one plant to another.
• Plan vegetable gardens with nutrition in mind. Compare the nutritional values of your crops with the amount of space allotted to them. For example, your family will get more vitamins and minerals from a block of spinach than from an equal amount? of lettuce.
• Another garden use for plastic milk jugs is seep irrigation. Simply use a large nail to punch holes in the sides of a jug, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bury the jug, leaving the neck protruding from the soil. Fill the jug with water (solutions of liquid fertilizer may be used to water and fertilize at the same time) and screw the cap on firmly. The water will gradually seep out, providing a slow, deep irrigation for surrounding plants.
