What to sell?

[Artichoke Lover]

I was crunching numbers. Though I planned to use peat pots (they’re what I am using and I forgot there were other possibilities) then I looked at plastic pots, 150 for 16.49. Then I looked at solo cups, 100 for 6.64. Is there any reason I wouldn’t use solo cups, and just poke holes in the bottom? They aren’t as environmentally friendly, but far more affordable. As a bonus the small pack also comes in multiple colors, so I could do different colors for different plants and save labeling.

I’m not saying don’t do it. But it might affect your marketing since it doesn’t look as professional. I haven’t sold plants though so I don’t know just how much of a difference it would make.

There is a local seller that uses the solo cups and he does very well. Sells tomatoes and peppers for $3.50 each.
