A new podcast called ‘Digging for Answers’ organized by the Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association and Howard Burkett, who happens to also be a Penn State Extension Master Gardener in Susquehanna County, are conducting this joint production. The Master Gardeners will be frequent guest speakers as well as other community groups and speakers. The purpose of this podcast is to answer general gardening questions submitted by members of the community and to educate listeners on research based best gardening or environmental practices.
It’s simple to take part! Just email the Susquehanna County Master Gardeners with your questions/photos at susquehannamg@psu.edu or call and leave a message on the Master Gardener hotline at 570.666.9003. Questions will be assigned to a team member of Master Gardeners who will research them, and some of the questions and answers will be featured on the podcast! The podcast will also be covering a wide range of gardening topics with our first topic being on soil testing. You will hear about upcoming events and how you can take part! The first ‘Digging for Answers’ podcast is now available! You will also be left with a ‘punny’ garden joke at the end of each podcast to share.
