If You Think You’re Underqualified …

Some gardeners know a lot less than you do. These are actual questions asked of Master Gardeners, according to Erv Evans, N.C. State University Consumer Horticulturist:

  • “I have atheists on my houseplant. How do I get rid of them?”
  • “How do you plant bluegrass sod? Green side up or down?”
  • “I want to grow kudzu. How do I get started?”
  • “Can I put formaldehyde on my vegetable garden to kill fusarium wilt on my tomatoes?”
  • “What is an insexicide?” (asked by a 4-year-old gardener)
