RE: Revved Up Ragtag - Prepping For Spring '18
That does look like a nice grow chamber. If you are looking for something more, amazon sells a decent little grow tent for about $50. But if youre just starting a few plants and germinating, this might be just right for you.
Yup, it's just to get them started. We're short on space and this fridge needs to earn it's keep again. Up til now it's housed our stash of grocery bags, newspapers and such. The game plan is to get it up and running this season, then I can use that $50 towards the outdoor hoop greenhouse. Sadly, funds are really tight with hubby not working, so I'm using what comes to hand to get this years garden off to a good head-start.
Sorry funds are tight. Its nice if you can have one big time cash crop, but that can be risky, and there is plenty to be said for being able to enjoy your own fresh vegetables. And if you really know what youre doing (which I believe you do), I imagine you can make it work with little money.
Thanks. Luckily, we're content with being homebodies which helps on a whole bunch of levels. I've been squirreling away a few bucks from here and there so I have enough for two cattle panels, plus a bit extra for surprise incidentals. Now I'm aiming for a cordless drill so I don't have to borrow the neighbor's. The greenhouse is only the first project on my list. (Don't want to be a pest although he'd probably not mind.)
I wonder what would be a good cash crop for a local produce market. Hubby goes there enough and he's always chatting up the owner. They get in stuff from all over & are known for good quality. It'd have to be something they have trouble getting. Might have to give this some more thought...
Its hard to say what could be a really good cash crop for a farmers market. Maybe raspberries could be decent but they take a year or so to get established. Also possibly asparagus. Corn is another you can get top dollar for.
