Transparency to Inform YOU What The Big Fish Don’t Want You to Know

Here is how we are doing things differently from the others

[@1stofAllHaHaHeeHee]

I love that I don't have to sow multiple seeds to improve germination. Your price point & quality is great & you still manage to have sales. You make gardening affordable for the small/home gardeners.

[@gabriellakadar]

Seeds are the least expensive part of growing your own vegetables. Quality compost costs money. The time it takes to start the plants at home, the attention they require, the root plug trays and seed starting medium, the fertilizer, then the hours spent to 'raise' the crops is way more expensive than the seeds. Even the water bill is orders of magnitude more expensive than the seeds. It doesn't make a lot of difference if a pack of seeds is $2 or $3.50. It's the smallest expense involved in growing quality product. Seeds are an investment. If they are quality, then they are worth every penny spent on them. I spend more money on mulch than on seeds.

[@shirleyturlington4715]

I'm so glad to hear that you support our USA farmers, and appreciate your candid information on other sellers. Thank you

[@susanlindahl6951]

Your parents raised you well! You are a good example to your children and I am truly thankful you inspired me to find my passion, gardening!

[@shelleyfrazier563]

Yes the transparency makes me respect you more and now I understand why the fertilizer costs what it does. I had no idea the other companies put filler in it. We need more companies like yours.

[@kathywolski9467]

I love what you stand for. I myself are so sick of the grred in this country. I have over the last year stopped supporting all of the big corporations and I couldn't be happier. We need more people like you to start up companies! God bless

[@beskamir5977]

Luke, you may have had something in your eye, but I certainly didn't. You're doing the Lord's work!

[@BNOBLE.]

I share the sentiments of the person who contacted you about feeling screwed when shopping elsewhere. I have trusted you for years and believe you are fair and you care. I would place 100% of my orders with only you if you had more "southern " / zone 9 / 10 items for sale. I believe you would double your sales if you catered more to us down here. I order with the "southern" seed and product people and know there customers talk about you often and they would also buy more from you if you carried more southern items. Best wishes and thank you for being one of the few honest brokers left in this crumbling divided and selfish world.

[@susiesue5237]

I'm in 8b and I echo you. Most of my orders are with another company because of that. Only a little from Luke. I wish it were the other way around.

[@cathycharron-folsom4504]

Unfortunately he is using local farmers in his area so plants, hence seeds won’t often grow in hotter climates. I live in northern ME and are zone 3-4 fits with his crops. I have to use brands that can grow in short season and cold areas.

[@susiesue5237]

@@cathycharron-folsom4504 and that is certainly understandable, just unfortunate for those in the south. I appreciate what I can get from him, and pray he continues to be successful.

[@DiandBilly]

Luke, Your company will get every dollar I spend on gardening products from this moment on! Your honesty and humility and transparency on this matter is astounding. Thanks for being who you are. Thank you

[@SueBall-vl8ou]

I'm halfway through your presentation and I'm sooooo impressed. Lifetime customer...word of mouth will keep spreading this. Thank you sir and Mrs MIGardener

[@royalicing8603]

Luke, I've known about MIGardener for a few years now and always thought of you like I thought of everyone else. I was wrong! I'm so happy that you did this video AND that I saw it! You are NOT like everyone else in the business! You have morals and ethics! Our Country needs more businesses like you! Imagine if every business thought like you do! What a different world this would be! My business will go to you from now on. Thank you for caring about your fellow gardener! God bless you!

[@Vunderbread]

My dad was a wiz businessman. Even the governor of our state was enamored with him. He ALWAYS said: never cut corners, always do it by the book. Principles are everything.

[@zhippidydoodah]

Honesty and integrity. It has to be lived, and sadly, most people today don't live that way.

[@joshua511]

When people complain about Capitalism, they fail to realize that what Luke is doing IS Capitalism. He is giving us better & cheaper options than the big boys.

[@hoosierhen]

I had no idea I could think more of you and you company but listening today, I do. Thank you Luke for being you!

[@VaultDwellerGal]

MIGardner seed is fantastic! The quality is legit. Y’all are my go-to, not only because your product is awesome, but because y’all do the right thing. Integrity and ethics matter. 🤜🤛

[@lorib5323]

agreed, I will only buy his seeds in the future if the quality stays the same.

[@katiem9644]

I LOVE that storey about the mom and her daughter that you gifted the seeds to. Absolutely gave me chills. You totally game changed gardening for that family. Just awesome.

[@pamelamercado6902]

I have grown vegetables for over 40 years and I grow for my family friends naghbors and for the food pantries. Tomato plants here are $ 8.65 I thought the price was ridiculous So I started selling vegetable plants for $ 2.00 I'll take the money and buy more seeds and sell them again this year. Companies are jumping on the bandwagon of raising their prices They think people will just pay it. I've had two businesses. You're in business to make a profit but not to steal from your customers I always had reasonable prices Word of mouth made my companies as word of mouth will and has made yours. You're a good person and it shows. Your wife has to be wonderful ❤❤

[@ritagibson225]

Luke I’ve been with you and your company since the beginning. Thanks to you I was able to garden during a time when I couldn’t afford to spend the $ big seed company charged. Because of you I was able to teach my, then 3 year old, grandson how to garden. NOW my daughter, grandson, and 2 granddaughters all participate in gardening. During Covid this 9 member household didn’t go hungry! Because of You! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DISCLOSURE, I suspected it, but confirmation is appreciated. I support the little companies. Greed is a sickness. The result is immoral and shame!

[@joshua511]

This is how you make this country better. I encourage everyone to try to specialize in something they can sell to their local markets.

[@juneramirez8580]

As a retired pet sitter I kept my prices down more than I should have. Now that I am retired I am still friends with numerous clients. I was extremely respected and trusted. And I always gave more of myself! I am grateful for the help you give us. I bought a package of seeds that were over $4.00 for a package of 9 seeds!! And the directions said to plant heavily because germination is difficult and unreliable! Lol. Thank you for not buying into the greed like the other companies. Really, how much money do they really need? It is NEVER enough for them?? We need a break these days! Thank you for doing that for us!

[@nedcramdon1306]

The thing is, no amount could ever be enough. It's a spreading disease.

[@compmom42]

Your garlic is extremely well priced. Before I discovered Migardener sold garlic, I searched for the best price I could find. And most other sellers were way too expensive. I started ordering Migardener garlic and I could not be happier. The bulbs are so healthy. I did enjoy learning the pricing, although I think I already knew. Your seeds are excellent quality and the price is awesome. I plan to get flower bulbs this year. I like Migardener's ethics and support of your farmers and employers. Thank you Luke. I am a customer for life.

[@amywilson6351]

I can’t love this enough! I have been trying to rationalize buying Trifecta but this pushed me over the edge. Knowing I can do my little part to support Luke and Mrs Luke and keep MIGardner growing big!

[@ritagibson225]

Let me assure you Trifecta is worth every penny.

[@brandyantonelli5423]

I love that I don't second guess purchasing from your company. I know I'm getting a fantastic product at a more than fair price. Thank you for being a honest business owner and puting your costumers first!!

[@shebrewsherri1008]

I can't thank you enough for your prices and quality of everything I've ever bought from you. From your seeds to your bareroot raspberry bushes, blueberry bushes, and strawberries. I'll be buying fertilizers and that kind of stuff for now on, too. I need to send you a video or pictures of these beautiful plants. Lol, they're absolutely beautiful and healthy. I've wanted these berries for a very long time but couldn't afford them until I went to your website. Wow! I couldn't believe the prices. I live on social security and very little of that. I get $1,030.00 a month. I have to grow my food and preserve it, or I will starve. So I can't thank you enough. God bless you and your family.

[@candacesykora2238]

I loved hearing the inside information. I am clueless to where seeds come from or how farmers are sourced for seeds/garlic…thank you for the transparency! I found you a few years ago and now only buy your seeds. Not only is your pricing amazing but the best germination rates!!

[@melissakarner6707]

You’re the biggest fish to me! Love love love your fertilizer and seeds.

[@laurelmay8641]

I love this video Luke!! ❤ Thank you for saying what we feel, every day. We are tired of the greed. You're the best! ❤〽️💙

[@laurelmay8641]

I love that you're humble and you are a michigander, a local guy, and a local business, and you bring great products. I share your seeds, I tell people about your shop, and your informational videos. I started gardening in containers 5 years ago, and because of you and a few other KZbin channels, 35/40% of my yard is now garden space. Thank you for giving me the courage to make a dream of mine come true, along with the help of my hubby, who built my dream garden for me to play in. 🥰

[@doloresreynolds8145]

I hope you have planted some berries somewhere in your garden! Now is the perfect time to plant blueberries, blackberries (I like thornless cultivars) and strawberries (which will grow in pots) for a small first harvest next year. Having perennial food crops in your garden is wonderful. If your soil tends to be sweet/alkaline, amend the soil with peat, wood chips, composted sawdust, and/or pine needles. Mulch well with more wood chips. Make sure you keep them moist while they develop roots these next few weeks (mulch makes that easy). Then give a light fertilizing each spring, and you have berries for life. All of these grow fairly well in part shade, too. I do stake/trellis my blackberries. The blueberries form a pretty bush, and the strawberries are an effective ground cover.

[@juanitalewis6504]

[@tinamitchell3764]

What a better world we would live in if everyone had your ethics. Maybe the fact that these seeds and plants come from overseas is one reason they don't do well, why our gardens fail. I love the seeds and plants that I have purchased through MI Gardner. They do so well.

[@katherineallen2577]

As a humble housewife, managing the money for a family of 4 on 1 humble income, your seeds have grown so much food for my family. You already made it an easy choice to buy from you based on prices and variety. I also like supporting family-owned businesses. But as a consumer, it feels like very few suppliers are looking out for us (in any industry). We'll be very pleased to continue supporting MIGardener! Thank God for your integrity!

[@MaryBennett]

I do appreciate this informative discussion of industry practices. Thank you for this and I do hope that you will not suffer any adverse attention, despite not naming names. I just sent you guys an order, including for a fertilizer. I am grateful you offer your ferts in small containers so we can try out a new product without spending a lot up front.

[@perkinshomestead]

Thank you Luke for informing your people. We are your people! This just makes me realize even more that this is another “sign of the times” that we live in. If we’re going to survive, we need to be choosy about where we get seeds, bulbs and other products from. I’m definitely going to be buying more from you. Love you, Luke!

[@ImperfectCre8tions]

Thank you. I’ll be honest: I was on my way to WholeFoods to buy “organic” garlic for planting this year, because I couldn’t afford any of the bulbs I was seeing. Who can pay $16+ for one bulb of garlic? Who WOULD?! When your email came through my inbox I quite literally screamed. I bought 4x as much for the same price! I was so discouraged before seeing your email. This information was sooo needed. We little backyard, container gardeners & homesteaders greatly appreciate your fair prices.

[@Tamara_1776]

I was on the live chat and I said this last night. I said we need to take business away from the corporations. In addition to that, let's keep our seeds private - share/trade/sell them to each other PRIVATELY ONLY! Corporations are not in this for the money only. They are greedy and unethical!

[@TabithaGomes]

I didn't know your margins, but I am so happy to know them! I am a new Gardener and I bought almost everything from you except for what was out of stock. I have been loving the products, all my seeds sprout and then some. Next year now I know not to put three seeds in a pocket because the germination rate is incredible! I am so happy to know I am supporting an ethical business that takes care of Americans ❤❤ thank you and I will be buying seed garlic too!

[@AlsanPine]

this is why i have purchased from you several times in the past year and am working on the 4th order. i do business the same way. the more of us there are, the more we can change the system by example. in business, there is no win/lose, there has to be win/win every time. that is the only sustainable way to be 🙂

Your budget-friendly advice and practical tips make it so easy to follow along, especially for beginners like me. I appreciate how you break down seed starting and growing food at home into simple steps. Thanks for helping us all become more self-sufficient gardeners!

[@TheWickerShireProject]

Our Migardener seeds Grow great in the worst conditions. I'm a lazy gardner. Not every year is perfect. We have disease in the soil and bugs all around us in the woods. I'm thankful I have a resource Like Luke to be able to afford a restock and give each year a go again. Thanks for the Info! You're doing the right thing. Most importantly thank you for taking care of your farmers and employee's. That's Love man..... that's love...

[@shelleyfrazier563]

I so appreciate how honest you are. I to am a business owner . I have an upholstery business.

[@MrPodio69]

Luke, thanks for all of your knowledge . I had zero experience in 2020. I have learned a large portion of gardening from you, and I love purchasing seeds, fertilizer and other products from you. I’m now addicted to learning more and more, and I love passing the knowledge forward! Garden is constantly growing yearly! Getting more and more of my family and friends growing their own food as well. It’s inspiring listening to this, and maybe more of us can start this business, and decentralize the farming business. Would be amazing. Anyways, thanks for everything you do!

[@barbaramix1683]

I appreciate your low prices. My husband and I are on a fixed income, and the cost of everything just keeps going up. However, I will continue to support your company because you are trying to do the right thing. You have made it affordable for us, while helping to support other growers, and I would like to see your company survive and grow. I bought your fertilizer, garlic bulbs and seed today. I like buying products created in the U.S.A. I believe in supporting the little guy. All of us little guys will be o.k. if we stick together. I approve of your ethics.Thanks for all you do. We really appreciate it. God bless you all.

[@juliel6254]

Thank you for your honesty, transparency and your integrity! And thank you for saying what I think everyone also feels. Unfortunately it's not just the gardening industry that suffers from this greedy gouging business practice. It's happening all over. They hide behind their facade so well and it often takes a lot time researching to see what they are really hiding. Often people don't have the time or resources to do that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in the gardening industry. It's really nice to see people and businesses supporting our hard working farming communities. our lives depend on them and their lives depend on us as well. We must treat them well.

I’ve been impressed with the quality I’ve gotten from you, and will get my spring seed from you. Thank you for all you do.

[@MK-ti2oo]

I ordered 13 heads of garlic from you guys a week or so ago. I'd checked a few days before my order, and they were all sold out so i was bummed and checked Baker Creek and i refused to spend that on each head and thought maybe you guys just hadn't stocked yet for the year and thank God i waited and got the notification the next day! 13 heads cost me 49.25 with a $6 discount that i had left over from points from the other $500+ that I've spent with you on seed. I've never been disappointed with your seed, great germ, and healthy plants. A few mixed up varieties, but they are still great plants in the end. You guys are have been a godsend in getting my market gardens/ nursery going here in the high Sierra, thank you for being good people.

[@tracieoleary4701]

Just watched this video and I absolutely loved it! Thank you for calling out these jerknuts lol. I’ve purchased seeds from you for the past three years and absolutely love what I harvest, I gave some sweetie cherry tomatoes with co workers and they are floored at the taste, along with my cucumbers. Thank you to you and your wife for having a moral compass and the passion for passing on your knowledge. God bless!

[@garyb4929]

I appreciate the episode & your passionate covering of this subject. Blessings!

[@sueweathers3978]

Thanks Luke! I wasn't aware of this and was very concerned about where seeds were coming from. We love your seeds and especially trifecta! It's the absolute best. We live in the mountainous West side of the Rockies. Soil is mostly gravel and takes so much to grow anything. With your products we actually see huge difference in tastes! (We're in our 70s, so remember the flavor in real food from the early 50s!☺️)

[@dandymom1709]

I had no idea how seed costs worked before this. I bought my seeds from you because your seeds are good, the prices are awesome, and best of all I know I'm buying from an ethical reputable supplier. I appreciate your transparency. Thank you for this post.

[@sherihicks1427]

May God bless you and Cindy, Luke!! He sees, and He knows, and one of the things He hates is "differing weights and measures." I come to you for as many of the seeds as I can get, plus fertilizer. I love your quality. Yes, I go to other sellers for what you don't have, but that is really not much. This year, I bought garlic from you, because I looked at the price on the original company I had gone with, and they want $34.99 for a pound of garlic! I appreciate your philosophy of business, and that you care about your customers. Most companies, governments, etc., care little for us. Thank you!

[@Boringcountrylife]

We have been saving and planting our own garlic seed for over 5 years. This was our 2nd year planting our own potatoes for seeds. Learning to grow and keep as many seeds as possible. Use MI Gardener for my first choice when I need seeds.

[@dawne4180]

Thank you for informing us about what’s going on. One reason farmers have such a hard time staying in business. I buy from a lot of seed companies but will definitely be changing how I buy seeds. If I can buy from an ethically fair company I will do that every time.

Ugh, I’m feeling duped after watching this. Months ago, I pre- ordered my garlic from another site. It hasn’t shipped yet, but I definitely overpaid! 😢

[@carlynsykes6053]

I think you did a great job treading that line and being far more honest and ethical and transparent than I expect any business to be. I’ve watched you channel for a while but I haven’t bought anything so far but really just because I haven’t been able to afford to buy anything gardening related in a long time. You’re top of my list though as soon as I can, hopefully come spring. 🤞 thank you for being you and doing what you do.

[@Karomatics]

I honestly have never been able to grow a garden until I started using your seeds. My entire garden especially my tomatoes are over abundant and I am able to share with so many people! It is a true blessing. Thank you for everything you do!!! It is truly appreciated. ❤

[@wandasmith7973]

Thankyou for explaining to us about the seed farmers and what they are getting paid from these companies. Wish I knew these companies names. But I understand more about the seed and the fertilize. I’ve noticed the dirt you get with the fillers. I like shopping with you I just have to start early because you are sold out when I’m looking for seed. So I just need to start earlier. Thank you for caring.

[@deniseverniericoaching2118]

Wow! This was quite enlightening. To think that many of us in the gardening community are trying to grow food for health and economical reasons and we are being scammed. It’s crazy they don’t have to label everything in the fertilizer that we are buying, that the markup on garlic is 4x - pure greed. These companies have ZERO connection to human beings attached to their profit margins. I’m so glad you are shedding light on this.

[@lisacook8504]

Your talk was eye-opening for me. I would much rather support your business for being honest and transparent. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

[@beachchic288]

Thank you Mr and Mrs Migardener, haha sorry Luke you refered to yourselves as that so I had to as well. I so love your seeds and I refer sooooo many people to your seeds and channel, Ive never had trouble with your seeds and germination and you teach us sooooo much! Thank you for sticking up for and supporting the farmers and us little people! Last summer I saw my neighbors spending so much money on plants and I told them how to start seeds. I even gave them some starts because that in turn gave me an opening to then tell them how to save seeds for next year. That makes my heart so happy and that is what I love about MIgardener, you teach us...heck even incourage us to save seeds because you send a packet that tells us to save for next year. MIgardener team you rock!!!

[@kimbullett3293]

Luke & Cindy, Thanks for everything you do! This was my first year gardening….and I went big Lol. All of the seeds I bought were from just three companies, MIGardening being one. When reading seed packs that lack what I feel is important information, I’m instantly turned off, feeling lost with all of the conflicting information I then have to find online. I’m new to gardening so I need every little bit of information I can get in order to feel confident in my garden and my skills. That being said, I’m ALWAYS telling my husband how much I love MIG’s seed packs because they literally provide everything I need to start off on the right foot. Then, watching YOUR videos alone are enough to keep me going. I love MIG and after watching this video, I love y’all even more! Thanks for the transparency, and youve got my support always. Kim

[@danacaudill]

I purchased the majority of my seeds from you this year and I was very happy. I love your morals and I will be buying from you strictly unless you are out of something from now on also I’m probably gonna buy a T-shirt because all ever talk about is gardening and I have told people where to get the seeds from and that was you. I’m in Indiana and I think we will take a road trip to buy in person for spring.

[@ladyemerygizer]

I would like to thank you for looking out for your customers. I've been trying to grow Cherokee Purple for several years with no success. Iu got an abundance this year. Trifecta works!! In my little raised bed, bucket and tote garden I get a good amount of seeds from you. However, I bought seeds for bush beans locally that turned out to be pole beans, and the third time they were black Eyed peas. That's why I ordered new kinds from you for next spring. I'll have my new beds and trellis up so I'm growing rattlesnake beans and Christmas limas. I'm 65. Nice to hear the truth but some. Ethics needs to rise again.

[@tgood9344]

I’ve been a customer of MI Gardener, Luke for so many many years. His seeds have always been very good & I haven’t had to waste by sowing multiples. Also he’s very honest. I had to call the store once & they were super nice & helpful. I will continue buying from him. 😊🌺

[@padimills1494]

You ARE the difference maker and I appreciate it. Love your videos.

[@GimmeADream]

Thanks for your honesty. I am not a reseller but I save my garlic and replant. As a small homesteader, I keep grazing animals and foul so fertilizer isn't a serious consideration. I give well-rotted manure in feed bags to anyone who asks for it because I have so much. You are beyond my favourite seed retailer and I'm a Canadian who likes buying local. I am a seed saver. I have many seeds that started from your gardens but they have been naturalized for my environment. You're not making big money from me and sorry but you do get a lot of youtube views and likes from me even though I don't comment nearly as much as I should.

[@scofieldfarm]

I appreciate that!

[@kellyy8114]

Appreciate you Luke!! I'm a new gardener, 1st year with raised beds, last year I did a container patio garden. My first seed haul was so expensive because I didn't know any better and many did not even germinate or if they did, didn't make it to the garden. Then I found your seeds.

Love everything you stand for. I do love seed catalogs and use them as a resource. Would happily pay for one.

Thank you for your transparency and honesty. More power to you.

Was an interesting and enlightening video. Some stuff I knew, some I didn't. I am north of 49th and have bought seeds from you in the past but I also try to support my local companies as well. I did make an inquiry with one of them to ask them a few questions...lol. Wise to not mention names. Thanks for sharing.

Love your seeds. I'm trying to save my own flower seeds - I hate to buy plants when I've grown them myself. But I buy your veggies, etc. They always produce well!! Thank you!

This is so helpful. I’ve only been obsessively gardening a few years, but even as a newbie, I have side-eyed the prices and quality in the categories you covered. I also won’t name names (😂), but I pretty quickly figured out that a lot of fertilizer was junk, sometimes seed brands were expensive but unquestionably underperformed next to more affordable brands, and so forth. Far and away MIGardener is the brand I trust the most. I look forward to your emails to say when products are in stock, and I always know I’ll get value from your videos. Thank you for taking care of your fellow gardeners!

Bless you! Keep up taking good care of yourself and the rest of us 💜

A saying in Ireland „no pockets in a shroud” the other thing is, people remember you for your goodness of heart. Keep the good vibes going… too much other stuff going on in the world. I will have the same smile on my face next year when home grown tomatoes 🍅 appear on the lunch plate… those are good vibes!!!❤

I’ve been watching for quite a while now but only ordered recently. The reason? I assumed that with the price of seeds in stores and online that yours would be double. I just assumed for your small company to make any money you had to charge more. I never even looked until that first order. I went there because I had such bad germination rates this season. Now everything has taken off and it will all freeze. Even tho it’s all growing I’m getting 1 or 2 squash per plant. I look forward to using your seeds next spring and knowing they came from a place with standards and values. Thank you for running such an amazing company and being an amazing human being
