One thing I’ve discovered growing flower indoors is aphids love marigolds if I don’t grow them they aren’t attracted as bad to the flowers. Looking for a separate space just for flowers so we can run a IPM program

Shipping to other states from Wisconsin will need a PHI license and permit for each delivery and each restaurant costing $50 per delivery, how do you solve that issue?? How do solve shipping to Alaska and Hawaï, what are the cost for shipping as it must go up immense when selling greens into other states?
@microgreensconsulting4 күн бұрын
Probably best to stick to with local deliveries in that case or work with a distributor to gets the economies of scale to make financial sense

Love the content and the interviews from this channel. I just grew my first batch of sunflowers on a hemp mat, got around 346.4 grams out of 1 cup of seeds. It’s been a little over 3 weeks and the last container is still fresh in the refrigerator. I also noticed that they got sweeter in time after they sat in the fridge.

Awesome thanks, some points. I'm considering shipping nationally just due to demand but agree economics align with local suppliers to local businesses. Stacking with no bottom trays, I found bottom seedlings grew into holes and unstacking was a pain as patches pulled out. Dirt and seeds is equally a pain to clean off before going to the lights haha Lastly, preach about no blackout 🎉 really does your product no favour's, I don't blackout any.
