01Let's Grow Vegetables on Our Rooftop
Good evening, neighbors. Our apartment building has a large rooftop that nobody uses. I'd like to suggest that we turn it into a shared vegetable garden.
Buenas noches, vecinos. Nuestro edificio tiene una gran azotea que nadie usa. Quiero proponer que la convirtamos en un huerto compartido.
02The Idea
The idea is simple. We could put ten planter boxes on the roof and grow easy vegetables, like tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce.
La idea es sencilla. Podríamos poner diez jardineras en la azotea y cultivar verduras fáciles, como tomates, hierbas aromáticas y lechuga.
03Why It's a Good Idea
There are three good reasons. We'd have fresh vegetables, we'd get to know each other, and the roof would become a pleasant green space to relax.
Hay tres buenas razones. Tendríamos verduras frescas, nos conoceríamos mejor, y la azotea se convertiría en un espacio verde agradable para relajarnos.
04The Cost
Of course, it isn't free. We'd need boxes, soil, and seeds. If the families who join share the cost, it should only be a small amount each.
Por supuesto, no es gratis. Necesitaríamos jardineras, tierra y semillas. Si las familias que participen comparten el costo, debería ser solo una pequeña cantidad para cada una.
05Who Does the Work?
To keep it fair, we'd make a simple watering schedule. Each family would take care of the garden for one week at a time.
Para que sea justo, haríamos un horario de riego sencillo. Cada familia se encargaría del huerto durante una semana por turnos.
06Next Steps
If you like this idea, my next step is to ask the building owner for permission. I'll also leave a sign-up list by the mailboxes.
Si les gusta esta idea, mi siguiente paso es pedirle permiso al dueño del edificio. También dejaré una lista de inscripción junto a los buzones.
07Conclusion
To sum up, a rooftop garden would give us fresh food and a friendlier building. Please add your name to the list this week. Thank you.
En resumen, un huerto en la azotea nos daría comida fresca y un edificio más amigable. Por favor, apunten su nombre en la lista esta semana. Gracias.
