Just bought your book about starting a nursery. You mention in this video 'when you lived in Florida,' which makes me wonder where you live now? (I'm in Indiana and will experiment with ginger based on one of your other videos.)
Nice score on the pots! Because of your video where you go on about why not start planting trees from seeds, I now have 9 baby pine 🌲 and 6 baby lemons 🍋 I just put them in gallon pots, it’s all your fault! 😂 not to mention a thousand peppers 🌶 🫑 and tomatoes 🍅 ! 🤩🥳🤣 and I went out and bought a food forest start up! Cherry 🍒 , plumbs, grape 🍇 a flat peach 🍑 an “family” apple tree with 5 types of apples 🍏 🍎 , and 3 pears 🍐 I was lucky this property came with a dozen types of berries and trees around the perimeter of the property, I can’t get enough , I want to get rid of the lawn and the 6 hours it takes to mow!
For people in colder climates, Edible Acres is a nursery with a youtube channel and gives lots of propagation advice. Plus the owner has a soft soothing voice so that's nice ! Sometimes you want David's humor, sometimes a soothing tone !
I'm looking at buying some fruit bushes from a backyard nursery and starting a backyard nursery with them. We will probably all want to have neighborhood nurseries pretty soon.
We need more backyard nurseries! I like to collect odd trees, ones that there may only be 1 or 2 nurseries that propagate them - but being small nurseries, they don't propagate more than a couple hundred each year (if that many)
Hi David, I actually started a home nursery from your book! It's a lot of fun and a learning experience every day. Have I made a lot of money? No, not yet, but Covid kinda put a damper on it a bit when it hit. I was planning on plant shows and farmer's markets, but that obviously got squashed. Now I'm kinda battling having confidence in my plants to sell. Like you said I want the prettiest, but maybe I'm too critical of my own. I have made my own inventory from seed and propagation, so I'm feeling they aren't perfect enough after this winter.(East Central Florida) I'm sure I'll get there when I sell more of my plants. I spent money on my infrastructure up front, making rain barrels, weed barrier, pots I found for cheap on CL, potting soil by the yard, and just other things I felt I needed to get going. I have a couple of other businesses anyhow so I just wrote off some of the supplies, believe it or not my accountant wouldn't let me deduct the pots or soil! lol I did get a Nursery license and the lady that comes by is really nice and helpful. I turned a part of my yard that really wasn't that much to look at into a really neat area to work in and play with plants. Your book was great and 100% influenced me in my decision to jump in. I did learn something new from your video, the part about the line to keep small trees from tumbling is going in this next week! Thanks again David, I always enjoy your video's, and personally I'm glad you are back in the states! God Bless!
I think the accountant would recognize the pots and soil as ‘costs’ rather than ‘expenses’. They add up to be the ‘costs of goods sold’ and as each potted plant is sold, that amount of COGS will be accounted for. Try those words on him/her.
I have pear tree cuttings that I put in a pot and forgot to put a plastic bag over the pot. I hope that I can still give it a try. Thank you for this video
Keeping them from drying out while they root is very important - usually cuttings fail unless I cover them, though when I was in the humid tropics they often lived. Depends on the moisture in the air.
You have taught me so much over the past three years about propogation and composting. I love your casual attitude that demistifies plant and soil biology for all we practical folks.
So glad I saw your channel BEFORE I bought citrus trees for my geothermal greenhouse. I only bought one of the varieties I want. The sweet kumquat I got already has 4 branches I know I'll propagate into new trees instead of buying more!
Thanks, David...another good video...you've inspired me to go out to my neglected and dis-spirited greenhouse and clear it out! I will repot any survivors, and clear the benches ready for a new generation of cuttings ('cos, hey, who can prune and not propagate? Not me!😊). God bless you and your family! 👍🌱🌱🌱🪴🪴🪴
I did this too with a thornless blackberry I purchased. I took my time looking at them because I went for the one that had 4-5 possible plants with in it. I do this with anything I need to purchase, because even if I get only one other, it would had made my purchase 1/2 priced if more in the case of the blackberry, not only was is now free because I actually got 4 from my original one, but I could have one to gift to sell to use as a mother plant. I also dead head blooms of flowers or lettuce at garden centers when plants are in the clearance area.☺️ A lot I learned by watching you, and from gardening for a while and just common sense. The book, about starting a Nursery was my first book purchase from you. 😉 Thank you for sharing and teaching. God Bless!🙏🏽
I do my cuttings in very late summer because I am forgetful of watering the pots, but I still save a fortune even using only half of the year. I have a mint obsession and collection. Maybe it can ba a side business. Keep up the good work !
I just bought and binge read your book(let?)? Either way stoked on the timing of this video! After your grocery row garden videos I started sticking sticks in the ground and once one surprisingly takes (in this case an oak leaf hydrangea) it's hard not to get addicted!
Thank you to both you and your wife for all that you are teaching. I’ve discovered a love for growing things and y’all’s videos are so inspiring. I plan on buying some of your books in support. Please keep your wonderful videos coming.
Just started growing my own plants for landscaping and improving curb appeal of my home. I can’t wait. It’s going to look so much better than it would have with my previous budget.
I have found a connection where I live for a lifetime supply of free 1gallon pots. They are an environmental organization who does watershed restoration and replace invasive water plants with plants that are native to our area. They order from a local nursery and the nursery doesn’t want them back. She told me they will have hundreds in both spring and fall, mine for the taking. 👍
Yeah I built a potting bench with a scrap piece of granite from a kitchen install. The piece they cut out for the double sink...has a small square hole cut in the center. Built a stand out of outdoor pressurized wood... with a shelf for a a catch bin.
You remind me of my friend, Homestead Aquarius. He, too has great ideas for great projects that maybe one day he will get to and finish..hmmm..he's a big fan of your's..
My husband definitely thinks my 50 pots of rooted gooseberry cuttings is hoarding. Hopefully I can sell them in the fall or else I won’t know what to do with my babies!
You can put down layers of cardboard and it does the same thing as landscaping fabric. Then you put rocks, wood chips mulch, whatever you want, over that.
Try magnolia landscape supply for a large load of potting soil. Not sure if they deliver but I know someone in south Alabama that will help you get some delivered.
Yesterday I looked at the ingredients of several brands of potting soil. They're pretty much all just peat/coir, perlite, and wood with some fertilizer. Some have mycorrhiza. I was like, "Wait, I'm not buying this - I have all this stuff at home!" All I ended up getting was some pine bark mulch and some hardwood mulch, just to see how they each do. I didn't listen to the warnings and used some bagged compost earlier in the season, and you can guess what happened. 😢 🤦🏼♀️ I had to throw away a bunch of tomato and pepper plants this morning (like 200ish) just as I was about to pot them up for my personal container garden. The ones for sale that I didn't end up selling, I was going to use space in a friends yard and plant as many as I could fit to donate the vegetables to Food Not Bombs. That's the part that makes me the most sick, not so much the lost revenue, as it was just a way to make contact with folks to sell my fig, mulberry and whatever other mother plants I get ahold of. I was really excited by the the thought of showing up every week with a trunk full of fresh clean produce for Food Not Bombs to turn into delicious meals to give to folks who have it a lot rougher than I do. I'm bummed I probably won't get any Kellogg's tomatoes this year, too. I dream about those all winter. Luckily I only mix up one batch of potting mix at a time, so not everything was impacted. There's a handful of plants that I'm keeping isolated to see how they do because I can't quite tell. My veg customers have been so gracious, and it doesn't seem that their plants got any yuck on them. It looks like the contaminant was in the batch I used to top up the plants after they got a little taller. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I'm doing a bioassay now for each level of my two new Greenstalks that I just got, and I'll wait for the results before I dump everything, but I've pulled most of the plants. It was a really stupid mistake, but I've learned my lesson and will never buy compost again. I'll stick to just doing pine pellets and alfalfa pellets in my compost tumbler at a friend's house until I settle in somewhere permanent and can have a proper compost bin. Maybe I'll try Diego Footer's trashcan bioreactor thing, too. Until that's ready, I've got the big jug of fish emulsion, the big box of the blue stuff, and a little pouch of mycorrhiza. That should do fine in the new potting mix I'll make out of just peat, perlite, and bark mulch. At least it's all contained and nobody else got hurt. And I can use my food stamps for replacement plants. Hopefully they're not too picked over. I'll be so bummed if I can't get any shishito peppers this year. That's one of my favorite summer snacks. Just don't risk it, folks. And pester your local officials & agencies, USDA, Dept of Ag, everybody, to get this stuff banned. It's bad enough that it's ruining backyard gardens, but it's a very real possibility that even farmers could be impacted. You think food prices are high now, just imagine what it'll be like when we have to import everything and all we can grow domestically is grass crops & the beef that eats the contaminated grass.
@@TheRealHonestInquiry Agreed! And thank you. I'm going to see if any local nurseries will donate some plants for the cause, so maybe it won't be a total bust! If not, I'll just start getting ready for fall crops.
Footer had some weird obsession with all manner of composting woodchips that even he's given up on...finally...as pointless. If you have space for a trash can, build a wire ring out of scrap fencing/chicken wire at least 3x3x3 foot & make your ownn compost or leaf mould. Skip the plastic, the goofy methods & the failure.
@@flatsville1 Haha I share the same obsession and mad scientist-ness! I'm currently in the process of filling up a 55gal barrel with sawdust pellets and urine 🤫 to kind of riff on the nitrified earth concept from Jason Avers' video, and last year I tried Gary Pilarchik's idea of mixing alfalfa pellets with wood pellets in a compost tumbler. If I can convince a friend to let me setup a compost bay from wire fencing or cattle panel, I'd absolutely love to do leaf mould. I live in an rv park currently, so I'm very tight on space and limited to what I can disguise. Probably can't get away with more than the 2 barrels I have here now.
Absolutely brilliant I’ve been thinking of doing this for quite some time and just haven’t had a gumption to get it started thank you so much for the encouragement and the video full of education peace be with you and God bless your family
Great video - I'm planning on starting my own backyard nursery. A step up from soap making as at least I enjoy gardening, lol...planning on selling fruit bushes, some perennials and native plants - I already have a comfrey propagation thing going on.
I’m collecting different types of Ribes, or currants from around the neighborhood! And putting the branches in buckets with willows, And water 💦, I made a few last year, this year I’m going for a row
@@davidthegood I’m starting my journey to a food forest, I hope I get to watch it grow like yours! Thanks a million for the inspiration, I’m from Florida too, but fell in love in Denmark 🇩🇰 so I’m in a very unknown climate, but I’ve learned so much! I just discovered rhubarb last year!
I went to go get t-posts at Home Depot, not knowing anything of them until I started watching gardening videos. They were too expensive and I wasn't willing to buy them. And I was told I would also need to buy a driver thing in order to pound them in, which was $50 and I was also not willing to buy that. I will buy U-posts eventually instead of t-posts, but I can't afford the tall ones.
This has nothing to do with this episode. I seen something somewhere, David had asked for anyone to send him a type of Musa plant. I can’t find it now. But wanted to know if anyone remembers the full name of it.?
Yay!! I’m so glad I found your channel, I just got bitten by the gardening bug so it’s encouraging to see what can be done, thank you for sharing your time and experience!
Ok. I've seen this video before and you lit a little fire under me, but it flickered out. This morning I'm asking God to give me some focus on what to do with all these rooted cuttings of mulberry and passion fruit vine. You know the rest.
Do you live near any forestry sites or know of any arborists? You can usually get free bark and wood chips from those guys. I get all of my bark from a near by forestry site, typically logs are debarked before being loaded onto the trucks and sent to the mills. Its a waste product that's often left in a pile to rot.
Hi, I grow in Florida 9b. Just put some banana pups in and looking to add more fruit bushes and trees to my garden, any recommendations on types I can plant in April and May? I see blue berry and fig say to plant during early spring or fall.
@ David The Good, I'm curious to get your thoughts about using those Non-Woven Fabric Grow Bags on Amazon as a cheaper alternative to traditional plastic pots for plant nurseries? They're supposedly biodegradable (to limit transplant shock I assume - placing them in the ground) and can come in packs of 500 for $12. Related to that, do you have any thoughts on using 1 gallon plastic grow bags (like from Viagrow) as a cheaper alternative to plastic pots? Just curious to get your thoughts on those.
I called the local agricultural office and asked them how to get a license. And yes, many named varieties can be propagated. check for patent - the patents only last 15 years.
@@davidthegood thanks. Maybe I’ll just start off with a little black market underground nursery. I already have illegal chickens, don’t really want the county out snooping around. Lol
Mom was wrong! Money does grow on trees, and ... on propagated plants! We have lemongrass placed strategically around our garden. Ants don't like it and keeps mosquitoes away.
@@davidthegood Listened to it today. I love that YOU narrated your own book. I was at work when I listened so ill have to go over it a couple more times to catch all I missed.
Weird question... Have you ever considered not sending your pot when someone purchases from you... Like bag it instead or am i thinking way too cheap? Lol!

Facebook marketplace is a good place for used pots, about 10c-15 ea for 1 gal's
Also watch for construction, towards the end they do landscaping and toss the old pots in the trash.

I think you should pick a farmer's market near you, grab 30 or 40 good looking plants and do it this weekend. Jump in - you'll feel better about it.
I think the accountant would recognize the pots and soil as ‘costs’ rather than ‘expenses’. They add up to be the ‘costs of goods sold’ and as each potted plant is sold, that amount of COGS will be accounted for. Try those words on him/her.

Goodcoin to the moon! You have inspired a friend and myself. Thank you!
So busy and rainy. Soon to be sore and damp
This is the best beginning of a UA-cam video I've ever seen 😂
I just read your book last night and then came across this channel looking up nursery related content! Really awesome tips! Thank you ✨
Welcome.
I went to go get t-posts at Home Depot, not knowing anything of them until I started watching gardening videos. They were too expensive and I wasn't willing to buy them. And I was told I would also need to buy a driver thing in order to pound them in, which was $50 and I was also not willing to buy that. I will buy U-posts eventually instead of t-posts, but I can't afford the tall ones.
This has nothing to do with this episode. I seen something somewhere, David had asked for anyone to send him a type of Musa plant. I can’t find it now. But wanted to know if anyone remembers the full name of it.?
Yay!! I’m so glad I found your channel, I just got bitten by the gardening bug so it’s encouraging to see what can be done, thank you for sharing your time and experience!
Welcome!
Thank you for the information and inspiration.
You are getting all of Florida's rain!
I’m working on my walapini greenhouse
Awesome
Amazon has a 6x6 black pots for $24 for a 100
Good stuff David the Good.
Best unboxing ever
I have been searching.... Where can I find the buried my rabbit under a cherry tree song.
This is really helpful and informative! 🙌
I hope you start selling the Mysore raspberry. They’re hard to find down here in the jungle.
Will cuttings from a non self fertile plant be able to pollinate the mother plant and each other? Probably not, but I’m not certain.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing 🙏this wonderful nursery tutorial ❤
Ok. I've seen this video before and you lit a little fire under me, but it flickered out.
This morning I'm asking God to give me some focus on what to do with all these rooted cuttings of mulberry and passion fruit vine. You know the rest.
Do you live near any forestry sites or know of any arborists? You can usually get free bark and wood chips from those guys. I get all of my bark from a near by forestry site, typically logs are debarked before being loaded onto the trucks and sent to the mills. Its a waste product that's often left in a pile to rot.
No luck yet.
Just bought the book...its gold!
Thank you
@David The Good I want to buy a fig tree when u have a small one ready
Love the outro song.. Awesome.
LOL! I just "got" the song at the end! I've been hearing it, but I'm slow, I guess. Dark. So very dark, David.
Hi, I grow in Florida 9b. Just put some banana pups in and looking to add more fruit bushes and trees to my garden, any recommendations on types I can plant in April and May? I see blue berry and fig say to plant during early spring or fall.
@ David The Good, I'm curious to get your thoughts about using those Non-Woven Fabric Grow Bags on Amazon as a cheaper alternative to traditional plastic pots for plant nurseries? They're supposedly biodegradable (to limit transplant shock I assume - placing them in the ground) and can come in packs of 500 for $12. Related to that, do you have any thoughts on using 1 gallon plastic grow bags (like from Viagrow) as a cheaper alternative to plastic pots? Just curious to get your thoughts on those.
Great video! Lots of great information! Is that you singing?
I love your thoughts.
Love this guy, he's funny
I have 10 Pomegranate They are over 10 years old. Have never produced fruit. They bloom. Any tips to get them to fruit?
Nursing plants is pretty popular round me for people making extra cash. Delivering 5 tomato starts (variety pack) for $100 all day. Condo people.
you'll also be able to trade. Every extra plant you propagate you can swap to someone else who is doing it too.
@@Tehcarp Trading -- definitely something we need to get back to as a "society"!
Where do you recommend I buy jerusalem artichokes to plant. I live in Indian River County, FL.
I don't know. I have always gotten mine from other gardeners.
I need a bigger yard!!!! Lol! Thank you for the tips and the books are on my list!
Is there not a concern of plastic leeching using a plastic based barrier??
I used to toss my plant pots, not anymore
Lol..Plant hording, Love it!
You interested in selling some of those Moringa plant starts?
What is the use of the osage orange? I have a large tree near me but I heard that the fruit are not edible.
Woodworking and bows, and it is a great hedge.
How long do you soak bio char in nutrient solution before you can use it safely
I soak for two weeks at the minimum, but have heard a month is better.
So how do you get the license and all that?
Also, can you propagate a named variety and legally sell it as the same variety?
I called the local agricultural office and asked them how to get a license. And yes, many named varieties can be propagated. check for patent - the patents only last 15 years.
@@davidthegood thanks.
Maybe I’ll just start off with a little black market underground nursery.
I already have illegal chickens, don’t really want the county out snooping around. Lol
Hey David just use pure sand?
Which location is this again? You've filmed in so many places I'm never sure where you are. This definitely isn't Florida lol.
South Alabama.
@@davidthegood awesome! Just started my own garden up here in CT. Trying out some of your ideas. “Prune like a madman”
Fantastic.
Mom was wrong! Money does grow on trees, and ... on propagated plants!
We have lemongrass placed strategically around our garden. Ants don't like it and keeps mosquitoes away.
Are there any blackberry/raspberry type of fruiting trees/bushes that can grow in the tropics? SE Asia to be exact. No real cool season.
Mysore raspberry and some mulberries do great.
@@davidthegood That mysore raspberry looks delicious! Hopefully it's invasive! Very invasive! Thanks
Whats the name of your outtro song? I didnt find it on your ddg tunes channel
ua-cam.com/video/4Um8KMmAVJs/v-deo.html
If any one hasn't looked, the book is also on audible.
Thank you
@@davidthegood Listened to it today. I love that YOU narrated your own book. I was at work when I listened so ill have to go over it a couple more times to catch all I missed.
I’m not able to chat in the live chat. So, I’ll say hello here
Hi, Rachel!
Hello! I didn’t miss it! But I missed chatting 😬😳
@@rachelhall4808 The chat was 50% less good without you.
Weird question... Have you ever considered not sending your pot when someone purchases from you... Like bag it instead or am i thinking way too cheap? Lol!
I thought I was the only one that used an umbrella, heck I even have two 'hat' umbrellas, haha
