Interesting as usual :) I was thinking I'd just propagate everything but you're making me realize it might be a couple years before I could get going with sales. Plus you need a large enough starter inventory to propagate from. Hostas for example, start with one plant year1. Get 3 divisions Year2. Get 9 divisions Year3. So it's exponential but only one division per year is pretty slow. For people who have never had any business background, the "profit" also will be net of operating expenses and overhead. Such as your 200 mile trip, soil, pots, water, infrastructure. I just googled and there are several "garden center" software packages out there. Maybe you could get one of them to sponsor you ? :)

As I mentioned, this wasn't an exhaustive exercise in business economics... more a thought exercise on how the math can work... lots of variables. Lots of stuff could be included to make the video long and boring. At the same time, no reason to make it seem more complicated than it is.

Never would have thought of using shade cloth to protect the plants in the trailer. I've used tarps and they shred and the plants get windburned. I am thinking the holes on the shade cloth allow a little air through . That would keep the cloth from shredding. I was moving trees to my new homestead so there was lots of room for wind to get under the tarp. Plants no taller than the edge of the trailer definitely helped it looked like. I was amazed when you took the cloth off and the plants looked perfect!
@savvydirtfarmer
@savvydirtfarmer 9 месяцев назад
When I started hauling plants a few years ago, I noticed it a nursery. Everyone there was leaving with shade tarp coverings. Most of the time they wrap their whole load rather than cover like I do. But they work great and it's just a standard practice in the industry. I've double tarped before when I had particularly delicate plants.

I'm in the same basket as you a good wholesale nursery is a little over two hour drive they're a good one I found some closer but they're really not a wholesale they say they are 50 cent's or up to $2 off on a plant to me is high for wholesale prices. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have good luck with all plants
@savvydirtfarmer

Good wholesale nurseries can be hard to find within a reasonable drive. That’s why propagating and /or growing your own plants is so important

Wow I can't believe how cheap you can buy and sell those plants for. Up here in Alberta, Canada a #1 pot wholesales for around $8-10 and retails for $16-20. #2 shrubs wholesale for $18-22 and retails around $35-40. Big box stores sell them for less of course but most big box stores up here don't stock plants that will overwinter in our zone!

Several variables, mainly pot size, because bigger pots cost more, require more potting soil, and require more fertilizer. But... overall cost for me is under $.50 / pot.

This is not a good information about how much a person can make money in this or any other business. Here in the estates the term "make money" is deceiving because it shows the gross amount of sales or total income it doesn't shows any expenses like water, taxes, rents, herbicides, fertilizers, tarps, gas for travel, not salaries, not equipment, electricity, pots, etc. And then damaged and dead plants that didn't make it. Yes, some on them are fixed expenses some of them are not. In another countries the term "make money" is literally what you get in your pocket as real profit meaning after you have paid everything else. So with way of talking business people get confused thinking that you spend let's say $40 in something you sell it for $120 and those $80 are yours to keep. Nothing further from the truth and that's how people get bankrupt because when you sell your something and start spending in yourself those $80 very soon you will be begging for loans and with no working capital at all. I suggest you to do the math, have already figured out those fixed costs for every plant and those variable costs too and then to give the example. That would it be more realistic and truthful. Keep the good work!
@savvydirtfarmer
@savvydirtfarmer 9 месяцев назад
Seems you're the only one confused. In the video, I said, "this is just a thought exercise," and said there are other expenses like the pots, fertilizer, etc... do your own math, with your own prices, and your own expenses based on your own location. On a channel like this that reaches a GLOBAL audience, I can't possibly cover every contingency, every person's situation, every person's individual setup. That's why I have a video exclusively dedicated to irrigation cost. A separate video for the cost of my land, infrastructure, and everything else. I appreciate what you're saying, but in the whole context of my channel, it's just uninformed. Additionally, your reason for "people going bankrupt" is also incorrect. People go bankrupt because they borrow money. I don't borrow money... and I have clearly stated that many times as well.
@gloriaiarango
@gloriaiarango 9 месяцев назад
@savvydirtfarmer yes you are right in a way. I'm part of that GLOBAL group since I wasn't raised in the states but I have had businesses here and there. That's why I specified about the difference in the words meaning. No, you don't have to include every contingency just examples of different costs of running a business so your audience has a better understanding that's all. You are doing a great job I have being following you for a long time and enjoy your videos always. Just to clear the air...
