 Horticulture hotline now available
The Montana Horticulture Hotline is now available.
The hotline is funded by Montana State University Extension
Service. The service is toll-free inside Montana and will be
available between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. until Oct. 1.
During those times, callers will be able to ask an MSU specialist
questions regarding Montana horticulture and gardening. Callers
are asked to limit questions to horticultural topics.
"We get all kinds of calls, " says Martha Mikkelson, a
diagnostician in the Plant Disease Clinic at MSU. Mikkelson is
one of those people who answers calls.
She says that last year callers asked questions from "How do I
control bindweed in my rock garden?" to "How do I control
mushrooms that push up through my driveway asphalt?"
The hotline will continue through Oct. 1, but is expected to be
busy. If you cannot get through, consider calling your local MSU
Extension Service agent.
The hotline is an adjunct to the many Extension horticultural
publications available free or for a low cost. An Extension
publications catalog including horticulture publications can by
ordered for free by calling (406) 994-3273. The publications in
the catalog can be ordered through your local MSU Extension
office or by mailing a request to MSU Extension Publications,
P.O. Box 172040, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717.
