10 Service Businesses that Can Earn you 6 Figures – Epi-3540

Today we look at 10 businesses you can start today for under a thousand dollars that can make you 6 figures. More important I give you the blueprint to make it work with any service you want to provide.

What to do with the dog shit ? Compost it ?

Time for weeding, fertilizing and top dressing the plants in the #nursery.

Pulled the small weeds before they become big, fertilize with 1 tsp of Osmocote 14-14-14 slow release fertilizer, and top dress with a generous amount of worm castings.

It's like a forest of raspberries!

The long term plan is to get completely away from the commercial fertilizer by fertilizing with compost tea, but I'm not there yet.

The more I interact with people, the more I realize what I'd consider common knowledge, is not common. Specifically worm castings, I sold some blackberries yesterday and mentioned that I had just top dressed them with worm castings, and the customer had never heard of using worm castings as a fertilizer, or even what they were.

Other things to teach is the seasonality of fruits, and that different varieties of the same fruit produce at different times. For instance, I have 4 different varieties of red raspberries that, when planted out, should produce most of the summer up to the frost. But people don't know that so you have to mention it.

Final thing to mention is this little garden scooter that I got a few months ago from AM Leonard. This thing is a back saver and puts you right where you need to be at eye level with the plants.

Good job. It’s a process

I've been working on rebooting our plant nursery this spring.

I had things up and running a couple years ago but had gotten busy since and things had gotten neglected.

The focus this year is on berries: Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, sold in trade gallon pots.

I intend to keep more regular updates going forward 😉

I've sold about $800 so far over the last 3 weeks.

Some learnings thus far for our area (Western NY):

1.) I was trying to sell at $15 each or 3 for $40. This was too high, or, at least I wasn't making any sales, so I'm down to $10 each or 3 for $25 and things are selling.

2.) People typically don't know about plant varieties at all so there is a lot of education required. Even things like the fact that they come back, year after year. When you'd get berries, etc. People are far removed from seasonality.

3.) Having leafed out plants is important.... about a month ago it was still pretty cold so especially at early sales, people would exclaim, "Those are just sticks". Next year I'll keep them in our nursery area with the black ground cover to get leaves on them, earlier.

Economics/Cost:

Plants I bought in cost $4-$5 each (including shipping). Pots are around $0.44 each. The growing medium is well rotted wood chips, biochar, and worm castings, which just cost me time.

I propagated about 75% of my plants myself (Raspberries, Blackberries) so that cost is just my time.

If you have a green thumb, a little cash to invest, and some space and time, this would be a good way to make some quick cash.

That's the first post for now, I'll follow on with more specifics so you can duplicate or learn!

Good luck. Hope to start selling my stuff next season

Would you call this steak, over cooked, under cooked or perfect? 🥩

Perfect. Made me hungry!

This is my Christmas present to myself…. Excited to dive in and continue to learn as much as I can.

Any suggestions in which one to read first?

Nicotine as medicine for Covid ! Dr. Brian Ardis interviewed by Mike Adams. They discuss nicotine is not addictive by itself (additive induced addiction) and how it can be used as a medicine to treat Covid by preventing the spike protein receptor binding. Dr. Ardis also implies the reason for the tobacco company shake down by the government decades ago may have been part of the long-term set up for the Covid plandemic. They also discuss other venom derived pharmaceutical products. Worth a little time in my opinion.

The Dr Ardis begins at the 1:10 time of the video

During the recent cold snap we've had in Western NY caused by a "polar vortex", I remembered a guy by the name of the Ice Age Famer I ran across 3 or 4 years ago.

I wanted to share this in case anybody else has not run across this information.

He discussed solar activity as relates to climate on the Earth. During periods of weaker solar activity, there are more galactic cosmic rays that impact the earth. This leads to, among other things, a weakened jet stream, allowing cold air or warm air dive down (or up, as the case may be!) and more pronounced droughts and precipitation.

Now, the current solar cycle we are in (Solar Cycle 25) is more active than predicted, but not as active as cycles in the past hundred years or so. The last time the solar cycle looked like it did now was around the early 1900's. You know, dustbowl times.

Now, what to do about this? Resilience in our food systems is the key in my opinion. Here are 3 practical things we are doing:

1.) Plan for cold (and warm) snaps by planting resilient plants that can survive outside your zone. My grandfather said you should plant trees that can survive 2 USDA zones colder than you are in.

2.) Build soil organic matter and soil life with biochar, cover crops, and application of soil biology through composts. These allow the rain we do get, to penetrate the soil and can hold water and release it slow. nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n just had a discussion of this on the Survival Podcast.

3.) Remineralize your soil (and composts) with rock dusts and ocean minerals to in turn build the nutrition content of your crops and animals.

I have not been able to find anything recently from the Ice Age Famer, but am leaving his video here for others should they find it interesting. The fascinating part of this was the Ice Age Farmer also tracked these solar cycles back to civilization failures and famine because of food shortages.

I think the Ice Age Farmer is offline. I lost track of him many months ago.

Does anyone remember a YT channel John Mark? If you don’t, the channel was prognosticating about civil war 2 etc. The channel organized a irl meet up in Richmond Virginia on July 4, 2020. Mark was bringing forward the idea of proertarianism and the propertarian institute to show case the work of a man named Curt Doolittle. I attended the event and Curt made an excellent speech. The event unfortunately did not get well received for several reasons that were out of the group’s control but the message was great. The institute is now called the natural law institute I have been keeping up with the group over the past few years and the videos of their conference would give you a good intro to what the group is about.
