You have sold the idea, not the money bit but how easy to grow without hassle.
I am SO looking forward to this year. Third year for vegtables, fourth for sunchokes. What about lovage? We had a massive black raspberry year last year. Sadly beans started off with a bang then nothing. Sun chokes Yacon and mashua did well too.
I'm set to do really well learning about comfrey. clover and phalecia to grow with my below ground veggies.
Thanks
Something is only a secret if no one else knows about it. As the saying goes, "Two can only keep a secret if one of them is dead." Nurseries generally sell what the buying public is asking for. The exceptions are low yield plants or ones that are invasive species. A good example here is Kudzu.
So the real profit isn’t in growing more… it’s in growing what nobody else is 😆
$3 seeds → hundreds in a season. Nurseries sweating right now. 🌱💰
