We were there for your last sale, had just come across your videos and rushed over from Athens. We were not disappointed, healthy plants for a good price, just what gardeners are looking for!

It really does feel like that, doesn't it! I was propagating some lavender last night, and my daughter started calculating how much we could sell all those plants for. She was astounded!

Your title may me think of my Daddy telling me to go out in the yard and find that money tree when I asked him for money lol

I've worked retail for 26 years 😕 In that time though my business acumen has developed well and issues like inventory cost, markup, P&L, accounting, are second nature. The T-post analogy is spot on, and I'd add that the many hands involved in getting it to a retail shelf reach far and wide. From the foundry that smelted the raw steel, to the transportation company that brought it in to the metal works to be formed into lengths and shapes, painted, bundled. Shipped to warehouses, shipped to buyers, bought by customers. When that supply chain is broken due to shortages, global unrest, what have you, we have to wait for it to begin again from the beginning. Propagation is a self sustaining, perpetual cycle with no outside interference ( except bugs and disease.) I WILL spend the money on a parent plant because as our minds see it, it's an investment that we can get easy returns on🤑

Thanks, great video. We grow a lot of slower growing trees like spruce and dogwood. Rather than up pot them and making more work we just plant in 2-3 different size pots. We do this right from the start to save all that work. It is amazing what a perpetual stream of plants you can get going.

Thank you and your family for all the videos you have on your channel. We have been binge watching them and thinking about starting our own backyard nursery. These videos have helped us tremendously. We live in Georgia. Your videos have inspired us so much and we just wanted to say thank you. They have given inspiration, knowledge, and we really appreciate y’all letting us be a part of this journey with you. We really have learned so much. THANK YOU! ❤

Thank you for sharing your journey! Always an inspiration to us creating our own!

Thanks, Pastor

Great analogy Craig❤

Great explanation, I'm getting ready to give this a go in my backyard!

Thank you. The Lord bless and keep you.

Well told and so true. I really enjoyed the video

Thank you for another informative video.

Thank you again for sharing your hard earned experience with us! I always take the time to stop and listen to your wise advice. I'm on my way to opening next spring. Propagating this summer. Starting to see successes in getting the hydrangas to root. Still working on green emerald arborvites. They either get to wet or too dry. Too much sun or too light. Pressing through until I get it right!! Thank you!

I've had a backyard nursery since 2015. The hardest thing I deal with is predicting how many plants of each type to grow for the future unknown demand. I've way under propagated which is an annoying lost profit scenario. I've way over propagated on shrubs like Blue Arctic Willow and now have way too many that just aren't selling, which leads to a frustrating lost profit by taking care of bigger and bigger plants that just aren't selling well. I'm starting to focus on less variety and more of what sells fast! Great video!

Thanks.

💚💚

V nice

Always appreciate your insight and videos. Great examples on the “cycle” with the arborvitaes. This is the first year I tried cuttings on arborvitaes, I did your dish pan method and they’re doing pretty well! Should I pot those up into a quart size pot for example, this summer, say August or leave in the dish pan until next spring and then pot up? Appreciate your time as always- Eric

Can you do a tutorial on making an advertisement or a post?

We have a question. How do you handle sales tax? For example, if you’re buying quarts to ultimately grow them out to 3 gallon size does the same percentage tax apply to the net charge to the customer for that bigger plant?

Except for the last 18 months in Canada everything is going up every week except my income is going down in value every year

If I have 100, 9” to 15” Green Giants on the way what size pot should I put them in? In zone 8 what percent shade cloth, 40% or 50%? Thanks!

What is the content of your basic dirt. I'm just trying to get started. I can't find any wholesale stores-businesses here in South Georgia. Any suggestions? I watch your program daily ❤. It's like being obsessed with the daily "love stories ". I just need some assistance. Thanks for your time and help. Judy

Hey SDF do you propagate arbovitae this time of year? Best regards from Transylvania!

Good job. Was that 60% shade cloth you were under? Brite

I live in zone 5b . Can you leave plants you are growing on in pots over winter, or will they die with cold ?

Where can I buy pots by mail order

I sent you an email sir.

For my model is that switch from selling to customers like 1 plant or more to sell in bulk for less but its more predictibile what they want and what to grow.
