  • In this video, we go over how we break down our pricing and how we calculate our input costs so that we can get an accurate number on our costs per tray!

    Hey I just wanted to give you a heads up that the pricing model you used is slightly flawed. When it comes to utilities, you can’t price it out on a per tray basis let alone a per oz basis. The lights are either on or off so if you have 2 lights per shelf then the cost is the same to you whether you have 1 tray or 4 trays on that shelf.
    It would be easier to calculate the weekly cost of running X amount of lights for 16 hours a day and then divide that by your total yield for each crop.

    This was an awesome helpful video. What size trays are you referring to when you mention it takes 168oz of soil?
    Thank you for sharing your strategy of pricing!

    Many growers don’t factor in labor (soil, seed, harvest, sanitation, delivery) licenses, insurance, transportation expense, bookkeeping, tray cleaning, taxes, and the list goes on and on. Suddenly, they realize it’s not as profitable as the internet leads them to believe.

    Hi Alex, I have heard of a person using pure worm castings as their media. Have you tried this or are there any downsides or hygiene issues that restrict the use of this type of media with microgreens, maybe you could do one of your famous comparison videos??

      @BackyardSprouts  3 роки тому +1

      I have seen people use them for other forms for gardening but not with micros yet. Great suggestion for a video though, I will work on putting something together :)

      Research. Every city is different and place is different. In Charlotte we were not the most expensive nor the cheapest. You have to do your own research. This was for the people asking us how we came up with our pricing, not what we charged.
