I was thinking about growing black walnut saplings from seed and selling them or magnolias. My dad is a farmer and I can get industrial strength fertilizers for free. Hydroponic equipment and electricity cost would have to be factored in. Does anything come to mind? UnregisteredDec 28, No, not really, or people would be doing it already. Lots of potted plants are produced under glass and sold every year by large operations that are not getting nearly as high a margin as with illegal cannabis.

What you need to identify is some other, legitimate crop that you can produce and sell in small quantities at a substantial markup. This would probably be something new and rare, probably also take much longer to turn over than pot. Talk to some local retailers to see what they might be interested in buying, if you don't identify a local outlet then you will have to set up a mailorder business.

A neighbor was talking about growing heirloom tomatoes indoors at one point, so that one has been bandied about. Instead she and her family moved to Panama. Your dad will know all about trying to grow and sell farm crops. Ron BDec 29, OstaraGypsyDec 30, Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I have and idea: It's very feasible to buy a number of cheep houseplants at Ikea or Walmart and propagate those. That is after all why those plants are so cheap--they are fast, cheep and easy to propagate.

Add to that your walnuts and maybe some herb seedlings. Your total costs would be less than the hydroponics investment. See if any shop owners would stock your plants in their windows. Sell them at flea markets, craft fairs or have a plant sale in your driveway like a lemonade stand.

My neighbour goes to Costco and buys flats of seedlings and then makes hanging baskets which grow huge in time for Mother's Day. She sells them all weekend and makes a killing! People actually buy them all at bucks each. We live on a cul-de-sac and she just puts signs around as if it were a garage sale. She also plants arrangments in old boots, chicken feeders,etc.

Actual hydroponics shortcuts, hydroponics money-saving tips.

If she weren't my neighbour I'd be doing it, too. EricaMar 6, So, you need to be creative, and apply some inuition and intelligence to what will ulitmately be a gamble. There is money to be made in the field of 'legal highs', plants that are traditionally used for their hallucinogenic 31 in 60 sekunden mit binary option verdienen nz Research 'shamanic herbs' and similar terms: You would need to be in the business of shipping live starts, as the dried herb market is quite flooded.

Edible flowers also fit this bill: Hydroponic may not be desired. It all depends on your ability as a grower, your ability to research and intuit trends, and your ability to identify and exploit niche markets. Dave LDec 8, I sell heirloom veggie starters at a Saturday market with children from my school, always does well. I have also sold various other types of plants, some rare and such.

The big thing I find is timing, veggie starters have a small window of time, and you need to sell something special that you won't get easily cheaper somewhere else.

Yellow tomatoes do better than red Carol JaDec 8, Here is what I get in a weekly newsletter from a gardening guru not endorsing as commericial at all: Quote " Great Gift Ideas for Gardeners Give renko in forex my Backyard Growing System before the price goes up. Making money growing hydroponically really can change your life in so many different ways.

Rooting cuttings in the privacy of your backyard is like having the ability to print money on demand. I hope you get some ideas. I would have how to make more money in slotomania it myself but I am very bad as a sales person.

Ottawa-Zone5Jan 23, In Florida, it grows so lushly outdoors that I don't understand why everyone doesn't have some to flavor the spaghetti.

Dave-FloridaJan 24, Buy some this Christmas and get them through the blooming period and then, when they start growing again take cuttings.

They can be rooted easily and grow rapidly if given proper care. Any that you don't sell can be kept over for the next season. They would double in size and amount you could sell them for. I like the hanging basket idea. The problem with trying to make money with an indoor agribusiness, is that you will always have to compete with someone who is doing it on a larger scale.

Economy of scale keeps per unit costs lower and production higher than a home producer ever could. Heirloom vegetables, unusual orchids, rare perennials, etc. These products don't benefit from economy of scale because of limited demand and thus become ideal for a small business person. One could also try coupling a agricultural product with knowledgable service, work from home jobs in bhayandar something large growers can't do effectively.

You could go for specialty crops like Cape Gooseberries Yes, I said recently to a house assessor that if I could think of anything profitable to grow I would put up a greenhouse and grow rather than let out the rental again.

He said he could think of something making me laugh at a landlord's worst nightmare! Having once tried to sell something I had growing organically in abundance, I found resistance to an unknown seller and was told there are 'health' requirements for stores to meet etc. Check into this aspect before growing something like that unless you can sell directly to the consumer at a market. You might be able to come up with a private deal to supply a restaurant.

The question you are asking is one that growers are constantly asking themselves which is how we keep getting those new varieties and products every year. There are conferences and shows promoting new ideas in the industry, try checking one out. I worked very briefly for the man who originated the flower auction in Vancouver many years ago and he kept trying different things.

He was the first to grow anenomes as cut flowers and always making me laugh when he would say that I was smarter than I looked, for the newbie questions I would keep asking him. At that age 80 he was just experimenting with a few plants in small houses and i was only there to disbud some pompom mums for him.

Before investing in any sort of expensive stock check your market for saleability of product, especially in this sort of economy.

Any LEGAL plants profitable grown inside? | UBC Botanical Garden Forums

Traditionally there is lots of money for flowers but if times are tough? That might still be the case as people want a cheap pick me up. These days tho, there is lots of talk about home growing and getting non-gmo foods and just more interest in the source of our foods in general. Some people think this will fade, especially the home growing part as people find out how much work it really is. When I grew some hobby plants for sale on the mainland at flea markets at the old drive in in Richmond, years ago, I made more from growing flowers as did the hydroponic tomato house i worked for that converted their operation to strictly flowers and tropicals after a while.

Now I don't know. This is a strange time for all sorts of things. Whether a change that is permanent or temporary is anyone's guess and there may be some waves you can ride the crest of and find profitable if you can identify them before they hit. As with any other, it is an always changing market. Have you looked into fancy mushrooms perhaps?

Very stringent hygiene requirements there. D PS Don't bother with pointsettias as you will end up saying 'better dead than red' at xmas as we used to Dana09Oct 2, Maybe miniature orchids and other tiny plants popular for dart frog vivarium foliage, especially if you could get some species going that aren't already common in the trade.
