awesome video D! You're the first pro I came across and this is the 3rd video I clicked on after searching for tips on starting, scaling, and maintaining a profitable microgreens business. I've always been one to give credit where credit is due and the amount of value you bring is pretty dope man and how things should be done. Much appreciated!

Hey Danny, this is a great service you do for the community. God Bless

You know your stuff. Thank you, I will be following you. Gonna start with a few trays and see where this goes.

So happy I found this channel. Starting a few trays next week, going to give them to a bunch of my local chef friends, and see what happens. Maybe i can get a small business going!

First off, thank you for all the great videos you are posting, Donny! I've been watching them all, as well as Microgreens Farmer & Micro Acres! We're waiting for our new house to finish being built (it keeps delaying) and I plan to get started as soon as we settle in! Eventually, the goal is to build a backhouse for growing operations, but, I will likely get my 'sea legs' with this business in the garage with a couple racks. My question is, will temperature fluctuations in a garage be a large problem for microgreens? I live in the Pacific Northwest (the edge of rural territory) and the good news is that the climate here is generally fantastic year around but we do get 88 degree August days and some 27 degree nights in Feb. Do you foresee an issue with that? Thank you in advance!!

Got a side job to build up capital to start my own local business. I freaking love gardening and decided I want to make a career out of it. Thank you for your content, it's super appreciated :)

Donny, thank you for these videos. I started with one video and ended up watch at least 6 or 7. I learned so much in such a short time. My interest is more from a prepping standpoint to have nutritious foods in a SHTF scenario which could be next week the way things are going 😢. Anyway, I just have 1 question. You use a 14 pound weight on your seed starts. Is that 14 lbs on a stack of trays or would you use the same weight if you only had 1 or 2 trays? Seems heavy to me.

Great information Donny!! Been a pleasure watching your videos. I'm about to start on a small microgreens project and was wondering about the specific brand name soil that you use. I heard you say w/ parlite and peet moss, but was curious who uses what specific brands out there. Thx!!!

How do restaurants and shops allowing “uncertified” products bough from “Joe doe” on the street corner? Cuz once u get with FDA regulations IRA regulations for businesses and all other things - all profits are out of the window.

@@mushroom4978Doesn’t produce need to be grown in contaminated manure to be exposed to those bacteria, though? He uses potting soil. And this isn’t a prepared food; it’s a raw agricultural product. You just tell customers to wash or cook it before consuming. We probably buy chicken that’s infected with salmonella all of the time; it’s not the supplier’s fault if you get sick from eating it raw.

Awesome videos. Do you regret not buying a wider rack system for you 10x20 flats? 48 x 18 x 72 allows the 20inch tray to over hang by quite a bit not allowing the tray to sit flat on the shelf between the front & back lip of the stand. I was looking at getting a wider stand, 1219L x 610D x 1800H. Flat tray, flush at the front & a small bit of room at the back of the tray.

I'm very interested in this, and everyone seems like they have a easy go at getting started, but you obviously need a dedicated space with water, HVAC, electric, drainage, and thousands in start up cap.
