What's up?

What's up, Epic Gardeners? We're back. It's Thursday. It's Thursday and we are doing an

episode. A little follow-up. I know that a lot of people are interested in micro-green, so I figured I'd do a

quick riff on some of the nuts and bolts

of a micro-green's business.

It's a cool little business that you can actually get started with very little inputs.

A little bit of time, a little bit of money money of course you need to buy some supplies

but I want to give a little bit of insight on the nuts and bolts of it and what I mean by that

is how do you figure out how profitable this is? So we're going to take the use

case of growing some arrugal microgalom micro-greens. Let's imagine for a second that you're

only an arrugalom micro-greengreen shop which of course you would not be but for the sake of simplicity let's go with this

Arugla microgreens typically sell for around $8 a pound for the seed. And we're going to start

from seed because we're then going to go through the process of growing these. So I typically

bought mine at a place called Everwild Farms, which is online. I think they're in Wisconsin. That's where I got all my initial seed when I first started. And so I'm going to look it up right now.

Arugla seed, classic Rocket Arugula, is $36 for a pound and if you go for a basic Arugla you're looking at $9 for a pound.

So $9 right and remember that's a pound of seed.

That's not a pound of final product. The next thing you need to figure out is how much

final finished Arrugala that's ready to sell does one pound of Arrugalous seed create. And it's very simple. You're typically

planting your micro-greens in a 10 by 20 tray, which is a very standard horticultural tray.

And at least in my experience, around an ounce of seed is good for that tray.

Now, that gives you 16 trays. for that

tray.
