We were in the studio with Katherine Rindt, an extension master gardener & Warren County coordinator for the help desk/Greenline to talk about what that is, how it works and where you can go to get your questions answered. The help desk is available in all 5 surrounding counties and offers answers to: * questions about plants and gardening issues; * diagnose plant diseases and pest issues; * advice on lawns, trees & vegetables; * promote safe use of pesticides and fertilizers; * provide access & analysis of soil tests
