RE: Introducing Todd McCree of Great Escape Farms
I have started growing plants and trees for resale in one of the local nurseries this year. I can hardly keep up with the demand. This is just crazy...

What kind of income are are you gaining from this side Hussle And how many hours a week do you spend on it?
Planting the seeds in seedling poly bags and the larger species of trees and plants in burlap bags can take me a few days. Watering takes up to 3-4 hours a day in dry season. Rainy season is a blessing since I may only need to water once or twice in the season. Since this is our first year and we have sold two crops of papaya trees I have recouped most of the costs of watering and planting. Our year hasn't ended yet and I have cleared about $1500. I expect as I get better at planning and produce more plants my profits should go up. Not bad for an under 2 acre property.
Not bad indeed. I think back yard nurseries are a great niche market for homesteaders. Thanks for the info.
