      Because it doesn't benefit the government. They don't want you to feed yourself. They don't want self sustaining citizens that know how to think for themselves. Abundance is the enemy of the government. That's why they poison our water and grow f'd up food for us to buy so we get sick and buy their pharmaceuticals and get more sick while they get more rich.

    Why our system works! why we make the money we make!: We don't grow 50 trays of microgreens and hope we sell them, go to chefs and hope they buy... We only grow what we have STANDING ORDERS FOR, chef's tell us we will take 6 trays a week and in those trays I would like: Basil, Red Cabbage, Peas and Leek (example) every week the chef gets 6 trays of these maybe one week Leeks seeds were hard to get so I sub some Mitzuna they LOVE IT, for farmers market I grow less then I would sell thus I have ZERO WASTE if I know I sell 6-8 trays at the market I don't grow 12 hoping to see 4-6 more - If you waste microgreens your lose MONEY

    John ~ I must tell you how much I appreciate what you do and why!! Today I was entertaining the idea of sprouting and/or beginning to grow my own greens again. I was looking around for what I wanted to be able to do that AGAIN. (Actually, I started years ago. My mom was diagnosed with an invasive cancer for the second time. She was given a short time to live. She outlived ALL her doctors including the morbidly obese “cancer specialist” who gave her the second diagnosis! She did it with wheat grass juice, fresh vegetable juice and raw food!) Genetically I don’t look so good AND I have been under enormous stress for the past few years! (As a Chiropractor, a Naturopath and a Homeopath I am well trained in the dangers of stress. AND I was hit by a truck a few years ago walking to my car. The truck came out better than me! I lost most of what was near and dear to me ~ my health, my house, my ability to run and move pain-free through space!) I had something like this that I can’t find and have been looking to replace. I am presently living in a small space with a tiny kitchen and a house mate. As soon as I am out of this situation I will be getting the double rack set up! People do not understand the power of living foods and living greens! They are so potent that they can cure just about anything!

    WOW! Just saw your episode with Larry on MICROGREENS in Baltimore, from 2-years ago. I was actually looking to grow my own MICROGREENS in quart jars for healthy home use, but this Business Platform was a BONUS! I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT HOW POSSIBLE THIS SEEMED FOR ME AS A 62 year-old woman on Disability Retirement with low endurance. Although it may take me double time to get the daily stuff done. I am home pretty much 24/7 anyway to take care of a healthy business, farming like this.
    I will give Larry a call to get updated & find out more about the set up of the equipment. I am by myself, so that part feels the most challenging to me. I know nothing about automating the lights, temperaturing equipment, watering systems etc. The pouring out & measuring the seeds into a tray, watering everyday & watching the calendar should be no problem for me since the trays are so light with no dirt! Even delivery, I can do! Does Larry deliver or have people pickup at his place? I have an excellent Opportunity with a big tourist City nearby! Thanks. I look forward to updates with Larry! Maybe he could provide a Service if selling or setting up those trailers all set up, so less carrying back & forth when delivering & so they can be more easily sold at Flea Markets too! Like the guy in Loxihatchee FL you visited, John. AGAIN, WOW!

    Hey John, thanks for sharing this video.
    AMAZING. Your passion, and selflessness is evident and enviable. I've been struggling on the monetary front in many ways, and I've come to realize much of my trouble is because my methods and my ethics are at odds. Not that I'm up to any illegal or harmful activity, but that I've been really searching for something that suits my personality, my personal experience and background, my passions, and my desire to be truly helpful to my community, AND make a reasonable profit. This has been a light at the end of a long dark tunnel and gives me some much needed motivation at just the right time.
    Thank you SO much for your inspiration, passion, and genuine desire to be of service.
    Namaste.

    $30 revenue per tray, 18 trays in growing stage with an average post-germination grow time of 4 days (so let’s say two rounds per week). That’s 36 trays per week. 36 @ $30 is about $1,000/week revenue. That’s $52,000/year. Not even close to $100,000. Also, those LED lights are not custom. Lastly, I’m sure Larry is a great guy with great intentions, and I hope he is not beyond learning because that facility could be much more efficient. All in all, great video; I really enjoyed it. One more thing: those are coconut pith mats, not coconut coir. Coir would not stay together after it got wet. Coir is the fine inside fiber of the coconut shell. Pith is the outer stringy fiber of the shell.

    • @LarryHountz_City-Hydro
      @LarryHountz_City-Hydro 5 лет назад +10

      Trays are $40.00 but even at $30.00 12 racks 10 trays per rack in vegetative state 120 trays every 3-4 days we don't use the racks with lights on for germination that is done on different racks that fit 15 trays each that $3600.00 every 3-4 days at $30.00 a tray - the racks we sell do 6 trays every 3-4 days the growers sell trays for $50-$75.00 to restaurants and $80-$120.00 at farmers markets - Thus the money is there as for the pads we use cocofiber not coco coir you are right there coco coir would fall apart like hemp and felt mats. The LEDs are custom made for us by a leading LED manufacture to our specs - thank you for your comments

    About the "supermarket shelf greens" tasting bitter, so true!! I used to think that I didn't like vegetables raw until I helped in a farm and saw kale plants sprowting naturally from the ground, so I ate some leaves from it, no washing, no nonsense, just chew it!! I will never forget, I never knew a green leaf could taste that good!!

    It's true, great money in growing Microgreens. I know from experience as I was a microgreens farmer and delivered to many restaurants in the Byron Bay shire in Australia. However, it's super time consuming, you do need a lot of family support and systems in place in case of issues that appear,
    I still grow microgreens and create videos for small space gardeners in an ozzie Vlog Style.
