  1. I thought I couldn't do this but I tried anyways. I ended up going a little nuts on how many cuttings I did on various plants like dappled willow, hydrangea, Spirea, Arborvitae, etc. Ended up with like 1,00 plants. A guy called me off of Craig's list on something else, and when he noticed what was going on in my back yard, he wanted to check it out, I said" these dappled willows, I'll hope to sell for 7 bucks once they grow a little bit bigger for next year", he said, " They seem like a decent size, but since I have the trailer with me, could I get 30 of them for like 5 a piece?" So I made 150 dollars not even expecting it from plants that weren't even big enough for a 1 gallon pot yet! Since I produced them like in an assembly line, I probably only had like an hour , maybe 2 into those 30 plants. He then brought his wife back the next day and she bought only 5 plants of all different types. so that was another 25 bucks. That was last year, now the dappled willows will go for at least 10 to 15 bucks a piece based on the big box stores. Mine are so much better too, because I properly pruned them over the past 2 years. Pruning each plant takes about 5 seconds a plant. I think I'm on to something!

  2. Thank you SO much for linking to the other videos in the series. It seems difficult on YouTube to find the other videos for some reason, even doing a search. It is so helpful when creators put the links in. Love all of your videos. Thank you for sharing what you learn.

  3. Brilliant channel I'm interested of starting a plant bus but come across theirs some plants are protected from taking cuttings…..do you know what's on that list

  4. Oh my goodness! I can't believe how far you've come, in both presentation and production.

    Could you believe, sitting there, that you'd have people not just watching your videos, but buying your books and stuff too!
    Thanks for keeping at it all this time, you've really done some good here.
