How To Make Money Gardening Very Cheaply! (Garden Talk #99)



In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Michael Bell. He runs a ½ acre organic garden and supplies his local community with his harvests. He talks all about his garden, how he grows his plants, and how you can emulate what he does and make great money doing it. What plants do you like to grow? Lettuce, tomatoes, peppers house plants, citrus trees, basil, kale, bok choy, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button 🙂

    Bruh how you gonna say: "yeah I'm no-till ever heard of it"? And then minutes later go: "how do I re-amemd? Well I just simply RAKE IT INTO my soil"🤣

    This is what my community does; we have a volunteer run urban farm, several community parks with public raised beds run by community service groups, and a network of home food gardens combined with collection points and outdoor refrigerator/dry pantries to supply food to the community… for free. The city also provides us with free compost and wood chip mulch. IMO that's the way to do it but capitalism is what it is, not gonna lie and say I've never been tempted to try to sell stuff.

    It's a dream of mine to be able to one day be able to do just half of what you got going on with your garden. I'm so tired of being on this hamster wheel of life work, sleep, eat, and wash – repeat! Something's got to change!

    The lake Mead thing is huge problem with cannabis 80 percent of product from Cali is black market and lake Mead is suffering it ppl think that is going to be the only lake that will suffer. That would be stupid to think it won't.

    The big crops in Australia are grown under them tunnels. It's the worst pot you can get sprayed with who knows what. And they use hardener like water. Every cone you choke. I refuse to smoke it. I'd rather risk getting busted then buy the Chinese rubbish.

  23. Scottie Timmons

    Great info. I grow a 20 by 40 garden and about 20 20 gal pots. I have a 8 by 8 bed for myself. Everything else I give away for free to the ones that need it, and family. 💚

    Air moving in green house of any kind is key take it from a green house guy some heat from bottom can save yourself

    Chris I would love it if you could get Jesse on from No-Till Growers. So much good information on Market Gardening and different No-Till systems they utilize on the farm!

    Urban/suburban farming is kind of interesting. Where I live in northern Califonia they kind of went through a struggle recently. When COVID hit everyone and their uncle start a CSA farm to table business with a monthly subscription model. In the last year, year and a half these businesses have start to fail and go under because the market was over saturated, and I suspect it wasn't as easy as many thought.

    It's an interesting business model. Given the current climate it might be a good idea to incorporate some chickens, to sell eggs and provide a source of compost

    "That's just backassword to me" my highass brain sat here for about 10 seconds just chewing on that sentence before it clicked 😂😂😂

  34. Joel Hinds

    You didn’t use any soil?! You just filled up your beds with compost and amendments as you said?

  35. Sm0kindog

    I enjoyed this guest. I have a backyard garden and share with neighbors, etc.. but nothing on the scale of Mike. my jaw dropped when he said he buys a literal ton of worm castings each year. haha
