answer:If you live in the USA, there are at least two sources for free information for you in your area, besides, of course The Collective. Every state university has what is known as an Agricultural Extension Service, and here is just one example:
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/ouroffices.htm In the above example, you will note that all of Iowa’s 99 counties have a University extension office, which the residents of a particular county may contact, to obtain free (taxpayer-supported) agricultural-related advice and information. Just contact your own nearest state University and request to be placed in contact with the Extension Service. Some of them are listed here. Also, there is probably some sort of privately-owned greenhouse facility near you, and the operators/owners of such places frequently give free advice on growing matters/concerns, hoping that the recipient of the advice will be grateful enough to throw a little business their way (or make favorable recommendations about them to others) in the future. Also, you could contact your local 4-H Club, because they state on their national webpage that, “The foundation of our community lies within the 106 land-grant universities across the country that deliver research-driven programs through Extension agents in each of the more than 3,000 counties.” I hope that the above information may be of some help to you, and if so, please send me a money order, because I don’t accept personal checks.
