I've been gardening since I was about eight years old. I'm 56 now. Since being married to my Indonesian wife, 20+ years ago, I've learned a lot about the spices and herbs she uses in her Traditional Indonesian cooking. She likes Asian pears. She once spent $4.00 for one piece of fruit ! 🤦🏻♂️ So, halfway joking, I told her I'd plant the seeds and grow her her own tree. That was about Ten years ago. The last few years have yielded some very nice, and very sweet, asian pears. I also grow two Kaffir lime trees that she uses the leaves for her cooking. One I grew from a cutting. Now I have 16 key lime tree seedlings because she wanted to grow some for herself and to sell some to her Indonesian friends. So now, without planning it, I've started a mini nursery. I also grow A LOT of chili peppers for her every year for making hot chili oil.

Great video, here's what I've got to add: 1) Look at your local market, go to places around you and see what they've got and take pictures, especially of pricing. Talk to the people that run your local nurseries, talk to customers, see what people want that they can't already get. This is called market research and if you skip this step, go ahead and skip all the rest of them too because you aren't serious enough about this to operate a business. 2) Make yourself an expert in something, don't be a generalist. Everyone will come to you for your expertise and quality and knowledge. 3) Come up with a theme that is practical and easy to understand (and easy to market), for example: sell all peppers: hot peppers, bell peppers, sweet peppers. Or sell plants used for lacto-fermentation/pickling like pickling cucumbers, cabbage for sauerkraut, carrots (kimchi), etc. Make yourself into the "must-go" place in your region for a very specific thing. Part of this process is choosing whether you want to focus on produce plants, ornamental flowers, herbs, trees, bushes, etc. Marketing is simply a conversation. If you make it easy for people to describe what you do, they will recommend you to others. If you are "the hot pepper guy," that's easy to understand and talk about. If you're the "Guy who grows a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Sometimes you have heirloom tomatoes, sometimes you have squash, also you have ornamental plants and a smattering of random herbs," no one can tell what you're doing and you are very difficult to talk about. If you don't have a specific specialty, your customers will find it hard to recommend you unless you have every single thing they could possibly want, or close to it. Then they can describe you as the "one-stop shop," but that's extremely difficult to do as a small business owner. It's far easier to specialize. Make it easy to understand what you're doing, and easy to talk about and your customers will do a lot of your marketing for you. If you want to be a generalist, just know that you have to beat everyone else in your area for the same customers. Most nurseries are generalists, therefore it's nearly impossible to stand out if you become a generalist as well, although it can be done. It's a lot more difficult than having everyone come to you because you're the "hot pepper guy/gal." 4) Make your own soil, create your own worm farm, make your own compost, get a wood chipper and make your own mulch/bark chips. The quality will be very high as long as you learn what you're doing and the price will be very low. Your neighbors will give you free bags of leaves and yard waste, grass clippings, etc. You can compost all of that, feed it to worms, and then use the compost and worm castings to make your own soil. 5) Go to a local feed store and buy alfalfa pellets, kelp meal, and also find a local source of rock dust (ideally basalt or granite). That's all the nutrients you'll need and if you buy alfalfa at the feed store it's far less expensive than getting it elsewhere.

As someone who sells lots of propagated plants and would like to scale up the legal section is a great start on what I'm looking for. Another great option for the ground cover is wood pallets stacked on cinder blocks. I have my nursery on a large concrete patio, but this allows me to hose things down and wash away dead leaves, debris, bugs etc. Plus being higher keeps the plants more accessible to people and less accessible to pests. Plus it adds clear, visual grouping for different plants/varieties. Go to some local businesses or contractors and ask if they have any pallets they need disposed and offer to pick it up for them. Ask for bricks/ blocks at demolition sites. This also means I can offer pallet pricing and pickup for landscapers. Two people lift and load 30 plants at once into a pickup. Wood pallets are also fantastic trellises, raised bed material and can make sellable succulent walls with some modification.

In case anyone is wondering, the nursery license is very important. Do not try to save money by not getting your license. If you do not have that, and the state finds out (and they do have active searches just for this) they will come and confiscate your plants. There are fines as well, but if you get into compliance they don't fine you. Even if you are selling a few plants at a garage sale, if you do not have a license bye bye plants. This was told to me by a friend who works for my states Department of Agriculture. They are serious about this.

These cuttings won’t be proper mame bonsai for 6 years but also have some Japanese false cypress and others I’m working on to sell to introduce others into the hobby and support my hobby.

My question is, can i plant them straight in the ground with January and February coming up and thats our harshest winter. Will they survive? If so how would i protect them from ice and snow storms? Thank you
@savvydirtfarmer11 ай бұрын
Only plant them directly in the ground at that small size, if you have a fluffy, fertile bed worked up for them. They need a little TLC to get going in the ground when they are really small, but I've grown thousands of them that way and it works great. No need to protect from snow/ice. They'll be fine in zone 8. Otherwise heel them in and wait til about early March when most of winter is over and do with them as you wish - but still, plant in good soil bed if doing so in ground.

I’m on a huge .3 acre corner lot and have always wanted to do something like this with my yard and have been learning allot from your videos, the idea of having a side hustle that is a fun hobbie and can include your family is awesome. How do you keep the pots from falling over In the wind? Where are you located?

North AL. Pots don't fall over in the wind unless they have particularly tall plants in them. If much of that is happening, it's time to re-pot into a larger size or get the plants sold so someone can get them in the ground.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of starting a native plant nursery that works with other native plant organizations in my area. There's a serious lack of knowledge and resources where i live.

Thanks for the encouragement about the nursery inspection, I have been thinking about going for it... but, that part intimidated me. lol

Yep. It's a big unknown, but it's a straightforward thing and their job is to help.
