I do have an idea for a "specialty variety" 6 pack if you will that I plan to try This year. I'm going to place 2 jalapeno and 4 roma tomato plants per 6 pack and call it the "salsa 6 pack". I even thought of including a peat pot of cilantro and then charge like $5.50.

I kind of like your pricing idea. I was actually running a similar idea through my head the other day of switching 6 packs to $3 and singles to $2.50. I also do pot some of the singles up into containers roughly gallon size about a month in and charge $5 and they usually sell out faster than I...

Thanks for the input! That's exactly what I was thinking. Only problem I have is the big stores no longer have 6 packs (atleast not my area) so I don't have anything to go off of to see what the difference in price would be between a 6 pack or single. A local produce place grows in 4 packs at...

Each year I sell a decent variety of vegetable plants. Last year I ventured into 6 packs instead of all solo size single plant cups. I sold the single plants for $3 (each around atleast 6"-7") and the 6 packs at $2.50 (about 4" plants). The 6 packs sold out faster than the cups with one large...

I live in the NW corner of SC so no where near either of those lol. For the last couple years I've used the small cheap yellow bags of seed starter from the local walmart but with all I have to start this year I'm looking to get larger bags so its more cost effective. I've heard and read a lot...

Where do you get those products? hope its ok to mention a company but I mainly use greenhouse megastore and I don't think I've seen it on their site and I don't think I've seen it at any local garden centers.

Has anyone used either of these for seed starting? Looking at using the black bag but the site I was using had no reviews so I wanted to see if anyone had used it and how well it worked. I'm not certified organic but still try to stay as organic as possible. The white bag has a chemical wetting...

I'll mainly be starting vegetable plants ( tomato, pepper, squash, cucumber, etc), some herbs (basil,oregano, chives, cilantro, thyme), and some annual flowers ( marigold, zinnia). I've heard of the aquarium technique steve but I grow and sell vegetable plants so I need a bit larger scale like...

Does anyone have any ideas or plans for a diy seed germination chamber. Been looking for plans but can't find any free ones or when I do its not very clear. I'm looking at using a junk refrigerator or chest type freezer that has a metal reservoir for water in the bottom, the reservoir would have...

Thanks for the input steve. I will look into those.

First off I hope I'm posting in the right section. I start and sell vegetable plant (tomato, pepper,etc) each year. I'm planning to expand this year and take a step toward it being my own small business. To save on costs ive been looking for a bulk supplier locally of potting mix. I luckily...

This is how my plants currently look.

Thanks everyone! My climate is hot and humid during summer. I have indeterminate plants and im using the Florida weave method. Ive only pruned the first 3 or 4 suckers off each plant just to open up the bottom for air flow and to be sure I can trellis them all. I water in the morning every 2...

I've been doing a lot of reading about pruning tomatoes and still have an unanswered question. Everything I've read said to prune up to the first flower cluster. Am I supposed to keep pruning the suckers after that through the season or do you stop pruning completely after that.

Look what I got today for FREE!!! 3 heat mats! Been wanting some a LONG WHILE and my sis goes to estate sales and was trying to clear some stuff out she has accumalated and just gave them to me. They look as if they've never been used. I hope they work.

Went out on the main HWY today to sale plants and sold a good many. I thought everyone would go for the 2 for $5 tomato plants but most have bought the ones for $3.

Not really trying to undercut the industry. I'm just the type that hates to see plants go to waste so I want to be sure to have a fair enough price to move as many plants as I can. I hate to even see plants go to waste when I have to thin some lol. As long as I can recuperate some investment for...

Updated pics of my plants and yes the pics are sideways again but I took them the right way so I dont know why it does it. I'm going to start selling them soon , just got to make a final decision on price. At a local chain store plants this size were going for like $3.48 each. Anyone got an...

It gives your neck a good exercise/stretch also lol :)

I actually thought of that and turned the phone for the pics of the seedlings but they still posted wrong.
