We’re calling on all hands-especially strong ones! Our beloved school garden is infected with root knot nematode (RKN) - a sneaky little pest that's wreaking havoc on our plants.
We're launching an unusual and ambitious rescue operation: digging out all the soil from our garden beds and relocating it to try to zap the bad microbes on the hot playground pavement.
