I am giving away three copies of my Brand New Backyard Growing System!
Here’s the deal. Right now my Backyard Growing System is not available, I’ve taken it off the market. Because . . . Duston and I have been working on a completely new and revised edition of the Backyard Growing System and the new version will not be available until early September.
So while we are all waiting for the new products to be completed I’ve decided to give away the first three copies that we produce. The winners (three winners!) will be randomly selected from the comments made to this post. So if you’d like to be considered for this give away, post a comment below.
The new system will be called “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home”. This will be a combination of physical and digital products. The physical products are a brand new book that I wrote this summer, “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home” and a two DVD set that includes my Backyard Nursery DVD as well as a new DVD called “Plant Propagation Madness”.
The book and new DVD are brand spanking new, never been sold before.
Also included will be an “Advanced Online Training Course”, the “Secret Directory of Wholesale Suppliers” and the digital report “The Inside Secrets of the Rooting Cutting Business”.
All good stuff!
So while Duston (my son) and I tie up the lose ends of getting this product ready and wait for the first shipment of books from the publisher, jump in here and post a comment!
Bonnie Witmyer says
I’m a newbie to your site but there is nothing better than being one with your garden and plants!
I moved from WV to MI and I’m going back soon to get some starts from my mom’s azalea, mountain laurel and my neighbor’s uniquely colored dogwood (it’s a dusty rose color!).
I am excited but also a little intimidated trying to grow some plants here in MI. I need help and guidance to learn more and expand and add to my favorite plants. Does your garden system work in the northern areas as well?
Greg Lewis says
This portends to be an extremely useful resource for growers.
Karen Longhorn says
I am over the top excited about plant propagation thanks to Mike and his online videos and writings! I am hooked and can’t get enough information! I am so green but ready to bloom into this business. I have been looking for something that would grab me and turn me upside down excited and I have found it thanks to you Mike. I am so serious. In my spare time, I am watching and reading your teaching. My enthusiasm is keeping my apprehension at bay. Timing appears to be everything to keep things moving smoothly. It’s the beginning of October and aside from collecting seeds……I am using this time to learn and document all I can. I am practically jumping out of my skin ready to do hardwood and softwood cutting! One day perhaps I will meet you Mike. Thank you. Your Canadian neighbour. Karen from Ontario Canada.
Crystal Shannon says
Did a test run and experienced the knowledge and friendliness of the wonderful people on the board. Working on more income to come back! (saving for business license first :).
Bill Smith says
Looking forward to a new consolidated reference.
Thanks for all you do.

THIS IS LIKE DYNAMITE. JUST LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN LIKE ####. LOTS OF FUN AND A LITTLE BIT OF A BANG
Stephanie says
Hi Mike and Duston,
I have just joined your family of subcribers. I am from Malaysia, I learned a lot from your emails and am inspired to start gardening. I love to be considered for your new book. Thanks.
Darla Treaster says
I’ve been thinking of propagating plants for years and selling them. And then, to my surprise, I came across Mike’s Backyard Growers. How exciting!
Ed says
Hi Mike just found your web site and would like to have an input but noticed this was in 2012 now 4 years have past. Where can I get info on your new system?
Nancy McBride says
I have learned a great deal from your material and still seeking to learn more. You give good lessons on, when, and how to do things. Thanks your all your info.
Nancy
Tom Carlson says
I’ve just started looking at the website. Lots of information to soak up! I grew up on an Iowa farm, and now I’m disabled. I’ve tried some gardening with lots of frustration. Farming was easier than this! I’ll take all the help I can get!
Traci says
I love getting your tools & tips for better plants and their care. This has been very helpful. The kids that come over love to learn about growing things also. It is fun with a beautiful outcome (usually). 🙂
I would love to learn more and be able to pass it on to others by teaching them while spending time in the garden. I am trying to get the hang of propagating roses and trees. This would be a big help.
Norrie Wise says
I have saved every e-mail you’ve ever sent me since 2/28/2008. Always dreaming of growing plants for a living. Now I am moving to the country with my son and get to try it. You are the best teacher I’ve ever seen. I wish I could afford to buy your new ‘university?’ program. Someday. In the mean while, I would love to receive this beginners kit you are generously giving away. Thanks so much for all your free info over the years, and good luck at this weekend’s sale.
Jason:-) E Evans says
Thanks mike .I’d love to win a copy

My name is Grover, and I’m 12 years old. I’ve been a gardener for 6 years and last year finally took it to a professional level. I opened up my own Business ( Gro. Co. ) and raised 1000 dollars by selling terrariums at several local farmers market. I’m using the money I raised to grow herbs in my parents basement.. I’m currently housing 500 plants and my goal is 1000. This summer when I sell them I will have enough money to buy a greenhouse and widen my variety of plants I grow and sell. I would like to base it off of your back yard growers system.
Keep your videos coming, Grover
P.S. Your my idol!

My name is Grover Grafton i am 12 years old . I have been a gardener for 6 years and finally my wishes have come true. I have finally saved up enough money to fund a small nursery in my dads basement. I am currently housing 500 plants and my goal is 1000, and when I sell them this summer I will be able to buy a greenhouse and establish my nursery. I would like to do that based off your system. say HI to Furgus. Big fan by the way.
Shawn thrall says
Hey mike,
I’ve been watching your you tube videos for several weeks now and am very interested in your system. It would be awesome to receive a free copy of your material. My family and I have 6 acres of land zoned A-3 in spotsylvania va. Ive been trying to figure out how to utilize the space and this seems perfect. Thanks for all your useful info

Hey, Mike!

enuffsaid says
I had a stroke (65 female)in January 2012. No longer able to do jewelry and gifts which I had done since 1968. Have found motivation to move about from puttering in my garden ‘oasis’ here in Tucson. A challenge with leaf-cutter ants, grubs and bunnies – not to mention over 100 degrees for over 300 days – then monsoons July to late Sept. I went from approx $800 week to $600 mo. Need income and I think I could do this. I lost my whole right side; now it’s all pins and needles and a feeling of tight iron clamps, limited movement and holding small things, walking, reaching etc. And don’t even get me started on the IRS! Only second to ‘mandatory’ auto insurance. Sorry, I vent. Could really use this. Otherwise will buy one ASAP after holidays, THX!
Pamela says
Hi Mike,
I’ve been enjoying your emails and website since I learned how to surf the internet.
I’m physically handicapped and would love to grow some plants for profit and think your above ground system is perfect for someone like me. Until my recent move, I lived in an apartment and had little outdoor space, but now I have a large backyard and access to a hose etc. and am looking forward to the updated version of your system. Now I just nee a handyman to build the thing! lol
Please add me to the drawing.!!
Cathy says
Hi Mike,
I am a 61 year old female who would love to just once in her life be able to grow something. My husband says I kill the plastic plants in our house. I just can’t figure out what to do and when. Too much water. Too little water. No nutrients in soil because I don’t know what that means. I didn’t know plants didn’t like fertilizer and they don’t “love water.” I have been following you for over a year. I showed your systen to my husband and he said, “Why don’t we start with just one plant and see how you do.” We bought this puny little twig from Sears and it actually grew a leaf. I don’t know what will happen next year though. I a retired and would love to do something with my life where I am actually bringing life into the world again. We are raising two grandchildren, a 10 and 12 year old (boys) and they are darling, but I would like to do something “different” also. Please consider me in your drawing as my husband seems to have no faith in my growing abilities, apparently. Ha! Thanks for all your free tips. I think they are helping me learn about plants and soil and sun and all of those good things. Bye.
Tinia Petty says
Mike, I am ever so thankful for your site. I have learned so much about growing and caring for plants. I had a cardiac bypass in 2009 and I began to spend time outside watering my grass by hand to relax and get away from the kids, pets, tv, phone, ect. I soon began planting a few things with no clue what I was doing other than digging a hole and sticking a plant in it and covering it up. Your site has taught me so much that now most of my neighbors and friends mosey over when they see me outside to ask my advice about a plant problem or to see what my newest garden project is. I thank you.

Neslie McKnocknish says
Mike,
We got “volunteered” to do a clean-up scheduled for today at my daughter’s, so I watched your video on Tree Stump Removal Instructions. The information will save me a lot of grief and back pain. Thanks. Anyway, that video led me to your website and it got me thinking. We were given a small Christmas Cactus over 30 years ago which has not only thrived but given “birth” to hundreds of little one, all of which we give away for free. This plant blooms beautifully twice a year, and your site got me thinking…And then there is the Spyder plant nobody wanted after my father died that produces babies like crazy. Hmmmmm.
Nan Peckham says
Thanks for all the good information. I’m hoping to get my two best friends involved in a small nursery with me, turning our hobby into a profitable business. They’ve been buying plants from everybody else for years, now it’s time to get that money back!
Char says
I would love to win this contest! I have long been an admirer and I love plants. I have been caretaking for a sick family member who has now gone to the eternal garden with no weeds. I look forward to seeing them one glad day. In the meantime, I now have more time, and would be so happy to have this system.
Pat says
I look forward to your newsletter.I would love to be considered for your system for free.Sorry to say my income is soooo limited I can’t afford to purchase at this time.In my community my landscaping stands out and I must say many ideas I got from reading your newsletter.Ithink I could really make money at this since it is something I love.
Thank you
Joy says
I have been inquiring about your dvd’s and other information. I to am trying to get into starting a backyard business. I have recently moved to a new house that is right on the main highway so it will work out better for me. If i don’t win, then i will definatly be buying your system as soon as I can afford it.
Rick Gingras says
Thanks for all the great advice. I appreciate the honesty and love that you show for nature and the various plants. Great work, Mike. Please count me in.
THANKS!!!!
Michelle Mantonya says
Hey Mike, My husband and I are both disabled. I bought your first system but our finances will not allow us to utilize it to it’s full potential…Yet. I would greatly appreciate a copy of your new system to help us further. The saying “it takes money to make money” is so very true. I was recently able to buy sand, but I have to sift it to separate the fine stuff out, then I’ll be able to start propagating. Sure hope you pick me! We desperately need an extra income!
Willard Bennett says
Hi Mike!
I have following your e-mails and post for about 4yrs now and have really enjoyed your posts. I have learned a lot from your post and I would love to have a free copy.
Thank You!
Joe Darbyshire says
Hi Mike!
I’ve been in the moving process for a little over a month now. My wife was promoted to a bigger (Post) office in a bigger (little) town.
We moved from 200 population to 2000 pop. So, it’s been kind of hectic, they originally gave her 10 days to bid on an office, find a place to live, get moved and start work at the new office… Hectic? yeahhhhh Anyhow, I’m signing up a month late but am interested in knowing more about the system. There are very few jobs around here so I’m interested in creating my own!
Thank you!
Stefanie says
I have wanted to do this for over six years. I have been gathering tools and even moved to a rural area and bought over four acres. I’m ready, but do not have a clue what to do!!! If I don’t win it, I’m buying it!!! It’s my birthday tomorrow and I told my husband that all I want if for him to help me put up the greenhouse we bought last year (used on CL for $1500…30x50x16). We are ready to take the dive!!! Need your help and expertise. Website is not up yet, but we are http://www.greentreegardensandgifts.com

Mike – From one chubette to another, THANK YOU from the bottom of my 60 year old heart for all the free info you put on your website and You Tube.

David Hicks says
Hi Mike,
I am still rehabing a broke wrist and after having surgery it is healing slowly. I can’t wait until your system comes back on the market. I would be happy if I was one of the winners. Then I could start my own business. But, better than that I would be able to learn how I could help other people less forunate than I am.
I work each year helping the elderly and SINGLE parents plant veggie garden so they can help feed their families. Your system would give me the opportunity to landscape some of the homes of families that are just scraping by.
Thank you so much for listening.
David
John says
Mike,

I’m having trouble posting my reply; this is my second try (I checked for my first one and it wasn’t there). It’s gotta be my lousy dial-up connection. I hope it’s not too late to enter. Your offer came out on my birthday and I couldn’t take the time to come out of my garden and deal with my slowwwww connection and catch up with my emails until now. I appreciate all I’ve learned from you and can’t wait to learn more 🙂 Please make room for one more hat.

christy waddell says
Thanks Mike, for all your wonderful tips and advice. I really wish you had a show on television! I would love to have a copy of your Backyard Growing System for my husband. He is getting interested in growing and caring for plants, and I feel it would be a great help to him. He is a self employed electrician, and with today’s economy as it is, he doesn’t have anywhere near the work he used to have. Working with plants seems to make him feel more useful, and takes his mind off not making the living he used to. Hopefully, your book could help him with that problem also. Thanks again for all your help!
Branko says
Macedonia awaiting your book…..
Marnie Means says
I am hoping to buy this soon! Very excited for it!
Pam says
I am new to your page and I already love it. I have always loved plants and gardens and I am new to the ideas of selling but it has always been a dream of mine. My life is recently changed and I intend on making this dream come true. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience.

I would like to put my name in the hat. I would like get a brand spanking new copy as well.
Diane Vaden says
Several years ago, my husband and I bought a few acres in the country because gardening is my passion and I needed room to plant. Retirement is in the not too far off future and your backyard growing system would promote that passion while providing additional income in this uncertain ecomony.
Julie Hatton says
I would appreciate the opportunity to have your back yard growing system

Cindi Bruce says
Ijust found out about you giving away your free copy of backyard growing system so I probably don’t have a chance. My husband and I are really serious about wanting to do what you have done so we can know how to make the money you have since I’m on disability and I love gardening so much, If there is any way I could get a copy, I would appreciated more than anybody, but there is already over 2000 people ahead of me. I was always a dream of mine to open a real nursery but due to health problems and money I never was able to. But when I found out about your website it really got me excited to think I could make my dream come true. Even if I could get a email copy, I could print it out, just like you free gift which I am very greatful for. Mike, you have been an inspiration to me and thank you so much for all I have learned and hope to learn in the future for me. Have a blessed day.
Gareth says
Hi, I’m interested in one of the free copies, as I’d like to see how applicable the Backyard Growing System is to here in the UK. The new format sounds great by the way.
Happy gardening everyone!

Percy says

Jenia says

Kenn Wagner says
My hat is in the ring. I’m looking to your new book and DVD’s. Have got your other books well read. Thank you, Mike, for sharing your knowledge fully!
Steve says
I would love this book. I am doing gardening now due to being disabled and not able to work anymore. It is a challenge when doing gardening from a wheelchair but so much fun. I have been trying without luck to clone and olive tree. This book would put food on our table and keep me active.
Paula says
Throw my name into the hat, please 🙂

Gardening is my favorite past time and now that my husband has retired he is really starting to get into it. Your Back Yard Growing System sounds fantastic. Please put my name in.
David says
Ive had a small nursery/garden in my backyard for the past 5 years now. I’ve been growing indoor plants for years as well. I’ve mostly just given all the plant babies ive made away having very little success in selling attempts. I love plants and I have a motto ‘making the world a greener place one plant baby at a time!’ I don’t mind giving plants away but it would be nice if I could make a little money in doing so, even if it just covers the cost of making healthy plants and I think your book could help me with that!
Kasaundra Chaney says
Wow, that sounds like a great opportunity! I would love to be considered for the giveaway!
jerry keese says
would not be a seller most likely, but would love to be able to buy plants from the places you do. i am 72 years old but love piddling around with plants. sign me up please.
Judy says
Dear Mr. Mike,
I am almost to retirment age(3 more years) and I am looking forward to being my own “plant manager” and being prepared to have your Back Yard Growing System in place by then.
Ray says
Hey Mike,
I enjoy your tips and I have already thrown my hat in the ring but I think it is getting lost in all the other hats already there.
Thanks for the tips and info.
Keep in coming
Joseph says
Hat has been thrown.
Ruth Ann Weis says
Hi! I am employed as an innkeeper in NW PA. When I first came here there was some landscaping done, but not a lot. I just keep adding more and more perennials. If it weren’t for your advice, I’m sure I would not have done so. Your input is so greatly appreciated! Thank you for your sacrifice of time.
Doug McCombs says
You have shown us outstanding things. How to get better at what we love to do! Keep up the great work and thanks again!!

Kathy Brennan says
Hey Mike,
I’ve been following your emails for awhile now and I think your ideas are great. I’m a great lover of plants and I love to garden. I actually picked up gardening shortly after becoming disabled. I would love a chance at your new system and I hope you keep me in mind. unfortunately I’ve been unable to come up with the money to invest in your previous one, but I’m going to keep trying. Best to you and my hat is in.

I am very excited about the backyard growing system especially since I have very little property to raise plants. Please add my name to your drawing. Thanks!
Gary Rose says
Hello Mike,
For anyone reading this post, I am a retired police sergeant and was very skeptical about my products. Being retired my wife and I wanted a small hobby that would payoff so we took a chance. Now we are selling Japanese Maples in our spare time and love our hobby thanks to Mike and his son. We have thrown both of our hats in.
Dria Conyers says
We are closing the bakery and moving sometime this next year. I want to do alot more outside when we do. Once we get settled, I plan on ordering the system. A free copy now would just give me a great head start!
dudelys says
Mike, your growing system sounds amazing!
Please enter me in the drawing for a free copy!

Since having a stroke in 2000 that ended my Picture Framing career I have been looking for some sort of business I can successfully work with my new physical limitations. Mike this looks like it may be what I have been looking for! There I have thrown my hat in the ring. May the “best” hats win! I just hope I’m not too late.

Beverly says
Thanks for this giveaway and hope that you also continue to give away down to earth tips on how to manage all the green stuff growing outside my house. (Like … it’d really be OK if you whack those Burning Bushes WAY down.)
David Chalker says
I enjoy reading your emails with your plant growing and propagating tips. Many of them have been quite helpful over the years in my garden. The only thing I haven’t been really adept as of yet is rooting the cuttings that I routinely take. I take drives through the city where I live and sometimes when I see particularly beautiful tree, I’ll go to the door, introduce myself and ask if I may take a few cuttings from their tree. My main offer to them is a couple for me, and a couple for them, that I will give them the rooted cuttings once they have matured a bit. Unfortunately I’ve only been able to return this favour twice. I believe with your system, this might increase my “odds” of living up to the promise I make to these new friends of mine.
God bless.

Jane Dodd says

Charley says
Mike, Looking forward to your new book whether I win one or buy one.
Robin says
I so want this. I am trying to start a small business with what I have on my property, and this sounds like it would help me out ‘tree’-mendously. I need to go looking for more seeds in the neighborhood and learn how to germinate them properly.
Congrats on the new system and I always look forward to your emails.
Larry says
Mike, Based on your emails, I have successfully propagated several rhododendrons and a few assortd “native” plants. So there is no doubt that the information in you Backyard Growing System is going to be valuable and effective.
Brent Couch says
I would love to throw my hat in. As a former landscaper turned truck driver. I would love to get back outdoors where I belong,earning a living. Thanks for the opportunity.

Meryl Tuchtan says
Hi Mike. I’m Meryl from Cape Town, South Africa. Just love your mails with super advice and videos. Have learnt a lot and truly appreciate it! I keep your blogs as a “bible”, and get so inspired. You make it look so easy! Even though our conditions are a bit different here, your backyard garden idea, tweeked a little, would go done really well. Everyone needs that extra income but there’s nothing like that here. We have so much open space; clogged up space just crying for some greenery; and beautiful countryside too, and so much is being done to help the under-priveleged to be self sustaining and sell veggies, herbs, plants, etc, yet they don’t have much access to water! Sructure is lacking in how to make it a profitable business rather than a means of survival. Not just underpriveleged, but everyone is becoming aware of not just being self-sustaining but trying to make an extra buck somehow for bad times, and that’s where passion comes in! Because I believe passion drives hard good work! Which is always rewarded! And you inspire me to do that. Thank you and grow, grow, grow. The more plants the better for our world.
moondrop says
LOVE this site!
Robert says
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the great new letters with all the helpful hints and information. Your news letters and quite a few gardening catalogs got me “inspired” this year to get back to the earth. Starting off small and with vegetables. Sadly, the summer heat really took it’s toll on the plants and the water bill! :p I did have some success, but in the end, the insects were the real winners. lol I did learn from the experience, and hope to improve on it next year. Thanks again, and keep inspiring!
p.s. (is a p.s. really necessary with word processing??? :p) on the odd chance that I get drawn, please give it to some one else. It looks like there are quite a few others that really need it more than I do.
Thanks and God Bless,
Robert
warren says
I would like my hat thrown in too!! Always enjoy your emails, website has great content!! keep up the great work!!

cheryl says
Have been following you for years, you always provide valuable info for the beginner and seasoned grower as well.
Would love a copy of your new information so am “throwing in my hat” as well.
Thank you.
marty says
Mike and staff… This is exciting… Just moved to AZ and need a part time “work”! But working with the earth, the sand, would be a mircle! Much different from mid-west! But just to have the outlet and knowledge from the “new system” would be a great help to progress in “gardening” without having to leave the place! Water is the only hold back here! Thanks for your consideration!
Ellen Anderson says
sure would like to win this new system…I paid for the first one so it would be totally cool to get the second one by winning it!!!
M J Ratliff says
I threw my hat in the ring!! I would love to have the free backyard growing system. I enjoy reading your emails but unable to understand the video due to the fact that I’m deaf but I can watch your step by step. I’m retired with small income. I’m willing to learn to grow all. You’re great guy, I admire you and your work! Thank you so much for sharing many things with us!

He was an organic rancher, worm raiser and vegetarian,although raised pigs for market and made it to 93.5 years.

Also, what plants are good to grow here??

I’ll make you proud!

I’d love to throw my hat in the ring so I can see how things translate “Down Under” (we garden here too so can’t be too different, Japanese Maples included).
Thanks,

Mark says
Hi Mike, I have been searching for the educational material you offer regarding growing plants, trees, etc. Anyone can plant tress and grow them, however the key to being successful is knowing what types of trees and plants to grow and how to grow them in order to be profitable and that’s what Mike teaches.
David says
I would love to win this . It would be very helpful to me at this time since I have no job. May your happiness’ be many and I hope you will chose me . Thank you for this chance.
James Salmons says
Great work you are doing, Mike. Your recent post on the economy is no less than brilliant. I plan to make a post on my site referring to it soon.
The best solution to the economic problems we have today is for people to adopt your understanding of how money works. Your plant program is not the only way to do it, but it is a model of how people can do it and a good one.
Casey Milne says
I currently have a 1 in 2800 change to get one of your Backyard Growing systems. So let the drawing begin! LOL! I would love to win, but if not, All the best to the person that does! I would love to have the source to begin thousands of plants. Good luck to us all!
Russ Scott says
I’d love to win a copy of the new book, shoot i’d even settle for a free copy of the old one. Being disabled more on than off due to acute gout attacks my abilty for th egookd old fashioned hard labor days are limited. Seeing this my be a better way to still continue to do something vs the nothing i am finding in the workforce.

Mike, I’ve been reading your emails and articles for several years hoping I could afford to get your system. I love gardening and am always experimenting to find things that work in our hot Arizona desert. Would love to win one of your free systems so I can try it out in the hot desert and brag on it for you.
Thanks for all the info you’ve provided. I’ll keep reading all your stuff and hoping that someday….. “I’ll get the system”.

Tom says
Through my hat in the ring, I have your book on plant propagation and been having fun with that have already made some baby plants from cuttings off of plants that I have in the yard. I learned a lot but there is so much more to learn. Seeing the cuttings start perking up and small buds starting to form that’s exciting. Thanks so much for sharing the information with us.
Siew says
I’ve just purchased your “Easy Plant Propagation” book and would love to add to my knowledge base with your new book and DVDs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.
Diane Emerson says
I am happy to put my hat in the ring, Mike. Your guidance is so accessible for people, and so down to earth, and so powerful at the same time. I think of you every time I load a wheelbarrow, for example. Small things like that. You are doing a great service to the world, encouraging people to become independent business owners. Plus, when people all around the world use these techniques to propagate their own food plants, we will have a good answer to the question “How will we feed 5 billion people in a few years??”
moondrop says
I never win anything but I will give it a shot. Your website is the best I have come across. Just learning to garden and making your site my go-to site for gardening tips!

Hi Mike,
I really hope you consider me for the free gardening system. I love gardening and growing plants and I think it would be a really fun way to make money. I would really appreciate it if you would pick me. Thank you for your time.

Jeff K says
Mike G-
Honestly? I don’t want a golldarn thing from you, “for free”. Been a reader for 3+ yrs, I think, and just love your “sagely advice”…invaluable. It’s nice to know you’re also a Zone 5 Gardener!!! I think your “old” system is VERY fairly priced… Very interested in the “new” system! Best of luck my “backyard buddy”!!! JK PS- *Wise* people would become even wiser by following your (“drastic”) pruning tips!!! Haven’t failed me yet, on a burning bush (dwarf), 2 Nine-Barks and numerous Pyrancanthas (NOT supposed to grow in Zone 5)… 20 yrs n counting!!! J.K.

JON says
Would love to have this. I recently took a 22% pay cut because my company thinks if they cut pay then us salesmen will have to work harder to sell more to pay bills. Well, I will work harder to do something else so I’m not dependent on corporate jerks for my pay. Your system would be idea.
Craig says
looking forward to your system…throw my hat in!
Madison says
Mike, I have been reading and watching all your videos. I have added to my learning of the plants, I can grow from cuttings and seeds as well. As soon as your new system comes out, I am all in. I think, I am gifted at growing things and with so many areas, that I can collect certain plants to grow, I keep trying different things. Some work…so don’t. But, I am one of those that never give up, especially with plants. I love them.
I will throw my hat in the ring, and see what happens. But, regardless. I will either get one for free and or end up buying your “Small plants Big Profits.”
Blessings, my friend for all that in share in your site.
Shalom > Madison

Thanks Mike!

Lance says
I love to garden to get fresh vegetables and fermenting things is my new passion. I made some salsa with just picked tomatoes, cilantro, onions and I forget what else, and salt of course, and put into bale jars, and a few days later the flavor was incredible. And it will stay beautiful in the jars all winter. I made all kinds of pickles and relishes flavored with different herbs like fennel, dill, basil, spearmint, oregano, etc. Lots of experimentation to see what I like best. And I want to learn even more so I will take my chances with the hat throw.
Regards,
Lance

I am on a fixed income and with the prices of everything going up thanks to our government officials, money is very tight. I have always loved plants and always have a bunch of new baby plants growing. Well after reading your site I began selling a lot of my baby plants this summer and have been having a good time and making some money. I want to order your new course when it comes out to help me make a lot more money. Thanks for your emails and your time to help us novices learn more about plants and how to propagate them.
Jim King says

BJ Smith says
I would really love to give your system a try. I live right outside of Panama City FL in a rural neighborhood on 2 1/2 acres. The soil is sandy and over tempertures usually seem like summer well into November. I love flowers and plants of all kinds especially the rare ones. Oak tress and Maples seem to volunteer to grow, the Oaks way too much. The Maples only when a few seed are blown in.
Francis Wilber says
Would love the chance to receive your new system.
Greatly appreciate all the work you do in promoting Back yard Nurseries.
May God bless you and your new products.
Mary Ann Askew says
Mike, I really need a copy of your new book and DVD so my husband and I can start a business so we can earn a living. He has not been employed for over a year and he will have to start a new career because he has Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, an Interstitial lung disease. My husband does not have the lung capacity to do the work he has done for over thirty years. This is unfortunately a rare lung disease with no confirmed drug to help. He is in a clinical research trial and taking medicine that maybe helping, provided he is taking the real medicine and not a placebo.
I know we can make this happen as a business with your help. We both enjoy working with our hands, love the outdoors, and enjoy growing vegetables and have planted and rooted many trees and bushes for our yard.
Your book and DVD would really give us the extra help, hints and tips that would make this business succeed! I already have rooted butterfly bushes to sell.
Thanks in advance for considering my request.
Mary Ann

In all truth I wouldn’t be able to start a business right now because I’m taking care of my 88 year old mom with the ‘Big A’.
I can dream of course. One day hopefully not soon, to have a greenhouse. I’d like to run around getting new plants using the clam shell device you showed in a recent video.
Thanks for all the information.

Mike S. says
I retired June 28, 2012. I already enjoy growing things,but never for the landscape. I have been looking for a new hobby and I know I have found it. I can’t wait until your system is available. I have already looked over my 20×25 back yard and have a visual plan for things that I want to do. There is no wife so I can use all of the space if I want. My son just purchased 10 acres of land to hold as an investment and we already have plans for expanding even before I plant the first thing. I’m already looking at ways of using the water from his lake to cut expenses. I am also interested in being an affiliate.
I am very excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Please hurry and get the System ready before I find a wife and get my back yard space cut.
Sharon says
Love the advice you give. You keep it simple for non-experts to understand. You inspire me to keep trying new things.
Anne Neumann says

I hope this might be something you might find workable.

Having recently retired and moved west, bought several acres for gardens and raising goats, I would love to know more and have the Backyard Grow System. In this years garden my cantaloupes are growing into my corn and zucchini is everywhere.
Kim says
WOW, I’d so love to receive these books for my Husband. He just build a geodescent dome in our back yard for our garden but I think it would work great for plants too?
Jeff Feldman says
Ok, I’m brown-nosing (like the dirt!), but I always get a smile when I see your emails because it is the plants and the soil that I really love and it’s good to see others who feel the same way. Make some money the good old honest way-digging in the dirt like when we were kids-and why not?!! It’s great. I’m disabled but would love to learn your secrets so that I may do this, on a smaller scale, but I’m sure your system works, otherwise you wouldn’t have been around for so long. How long is it now? Must be 11 years+ ? Your emails are always welcome, whether I win or not! By the way, I used to have a website, but it was through Prodigy (in the old days, they were like a miniature AOL)and I think they are long gone, but one day I plan on making a site again, hopefully with my own domain. 🙂 Take care and happy planting.
Fredrik says
I’d be more than happy to get a book!
Rose says
I always look forward to your e-mails and videos. Also enjoyed seeing the pictures of your recent gardening get-together with other members. Is there a forum for members to chat about gardening issues? I’m in Canada and unable get to those great gatherings you have. Please enter my name in the draw for your new books/tapes coming out. “Great job” to you and your family for the many long, hard hours you all put into this venture.
Victor Smith says
I have been receiving your excellent tips for several years now. I just read about your retirement plan, which I had been considering myself, as I am a year older than you and retirement is looking a little iffy at this time. What better time to get off my behind and make use of one of the most fertile garden spots in my town which has been sitting vacant for several years now, than when it might be possible to win one of your new systems. Thank you for the excellent tips I have been using up to this point.
sheila says
I lost my job in January and I’ve been wanting to get my nursery permit and start my own business for quite awhile. I lost all of my backyard growers stuff in a house fire last September. I would really love to win the new system.

My backyard is looking so cool…. though craigslist we found people willing to give away landscaping rock and have rented vans to gather and pick it up… friends and neighbors willing to allow us clippings from their prized plants to grow in our own backyard…expanded the pond we have and have built a waterfalland have collected more complements than I ever thought possible…Thank you for all the inspiration!!! Wish I could attach a photo!
Mary Calder says
Hi Mike; Gotta get on the band wagon and throw in my hat for your gardening system. I’ve gardened off an on for most of my life. Been uemployed for over a year and exhausted my benefits so I haven’t been able to buy your system. I have over 2 acres and have put in some young fruit trees. Your info is always interesting and helpful. The clam shells for airlayering look interesting. I grew up using other things but the clamshells look like they would keep in the moisture better and therefore be more successful. I’m currently starting 4 bush figs that survive -20 but I’d lost mine to a freek -46 night 2 years ago. I saw one in someones yard and just stopped in, introduced myself and asked for a cutting. I left with a bag of plums, grapes, 4 cuttings and an invitation to come back for more if I need them. All 4 cuttigs are rooting well. I love growing things and it would be awesome if that could grow into an income prodcer for us. Looking for things that grow with a little water and can stand high mountain desert growing conditions at 6600 ft.
Helmut Friedrich says
I have purchased “Backyard Growing System” many years ago, when it still was on VHS. So I sure could do with an update. Thanks Mike for all your good work.

I have always loved growing plants. For many years I have wanted to grow and sell plants and have a greenhouse. Until recently I have not had the time or space. My new husband loves plants as much as I do, and this is something we have decided to do together. I thought I had bought your earlier version of the system, but turns out I didn’t, so here’s to our future. Thanks Mike!

John Lorek says
Hi, again, Mike,
Throwing my hat in again, and wondering where you find the time to read all the comments posted here. I know all about tired eyes….believe me…..However, the cuttings I have rooted so far are coming along nicely, and I found a really neat place to obtain 1 Gallon plastic pots. A Landscaper here has a backyard with all sizes from 1 gallon to 10 gallon containers. He said if I took them all, I would be doing him a BIG favor. We had a great laugh over that comment…..I just took around 200 of the 1 gallon sizes. Saved a lot of money doing that. Anyway, enough of this ranting…. God Bless You, Mike, and keep on truckin’.
Cathy says
Thanks Mike, for your great newsletters and encouragement. I’d love to win the book for a friend who loves plants and could use the income.
Dawn Bergerson says
You already have so many emails for this offer not sure if you will even see this, but I would be grateful to receive a copy of The Backyard Growing Systems I have always loved my plants and flowers and just the info I receive from your newsletters I have learned so much.

Thank You and God Bless you and your family Dawn

She went to be with her Lord a month ago and now I find I am not sure what to do with myself. I think this would be the perfect thing to do to fill in the time I now seem to have on my hands. I love reading all of your newsletters I get by e-mail, I have really learned a lot from you and I thank you for that.

Hi Mike,
I have the luck of a lousy cat when it come to winning something, “But it is worth a try”. How I would love to own your new system. Maybe that would help me get off to a better start and get my business off the ground better. it is a little harder for a me doing it all by myself with no help and a bad back. But I will do it one way or the other. Just watch me. It may take me a little longer, But I will do it. I just need some easier ways of lifting. Thanks Mike for all you have done so far. You are such an inspiration to me. Geraldine

13. Very little stands a chance here in this
heat except cactus, but maybe your methods
would help a LOT! Give us a chance down here, Mike, and we will make you proud. Thanks for all you do! Marci (Dirt Lady)

Karen Roseler says
Hey Mike,I would’ve loved to have been at your Shindig, but mayibe another time. I am trying to get my husband to bring me to your place, since we are trying to get started in this field of dreams!!! I could really use this information and system would be great! Please add my name to your hat. We are in Norwalk, Ohio which is only about an hours drive to where you are. Maybe someday……….. Thanks for all your good tips!!!
KittKatt71 says
Hi Mike,
My husband and I have really enjoyed receiving your tips and tricks for growing. I look forward to getting your emails and would really appreciate getting a copy of your system. It would really help.
thanks,
Terry says
Mike,
Thanks for all of your information. I would like to see your new material. I’ll be retiring soon and am considering your plant business ideas for supplemental income.
Carence Smith says
Dear Mike
I am so thankful for your Backyard Growing System, I have learned so much and I think now is the time to put it into action. I live next door to Warren County TN (THE NURSERY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD ) and have talked to a lot of the nursery owners and many have said they were considering shuting down due to new strict and expensive regulations I think backyard is the way to go and being on S.S. I could use all the help I can get
Thank You
Terriann says
I would love to get one of your backyard growing systems. I have just recently started getting your newsletters. Tried out your system for starting woody plants as I wanted a few more of one I have. It is working well.

Hi Mike. really ejoy your tips, techniques and ideas and would like a copy of your new program
Linda Jones says
Hey Mike,
I’ve been getting your emails for awhile now and haven’t been able to purchase your program due to not having the extra funds.
With all the entries here, I can’t conceive how I might possibly win. However, I am still going to try. Put me in the hat, Mike.
Thanks for all the great info you so freely give out as well.
Linda Jones says
Hey there Mike,
I have been getting your e-mails for a couple of years now and never seem to have the extra funds to purchase your program. With all the entries here, I can’t imagine having a chance at winning. But, I still want to try. Inspite of my severe arthritis, I still do what I can to garden and would like to do more.
Donna Yahnke says
I am finally in a better position to start propagating plants on a large scale!! new information will be greatly appreciated.
Melissa says
I love the information you share. I’m a stay at home Mom, trying to make the most of what time/energy/money I have. The tips/knowledge have helped me become a better gardner, but I have a lot more to learn. If I could read about this fall, then this time next year I could be tell you how well, or how many plants I’ve started/sold.
Donna says
Hi, Mike. I have been following you for quite a few months now. I love your site and all your emails and videos. I have found you to be THE Number 1 plant expert in my book. You give so freely your vast knowledge and I value all of the informative, inspirational and extremely helpful information you so generously share. I will continue to look forward to all of your emails, videos, and information. I have been an avid gardener for years and am going to try and make some little babies from some of the varieties of plants that I have just from your great advice. Looking forward to your emails all the time. Take care and the best to you and yours and thank you for everything!
Mindy Collier says
Hi Mike,
I’ve been wanting to purchase your Backyard Growing System for many years now, almost as long as I’ve been gardening. Gardening helped me get through the loss of my youngest son, and the sense of peace, and joy I get from playing in the dirt is something I hope to continue until my time on earth is up. I’ve really looked forward to your emails and advice over the years, because, being on a limited income, the things I’ve learned from you have allowed me to enjoy this hobby, which would other wise be to costly for me, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits, as well.
Mike, I feel like you’re a friend, who’s advice is trusted, and always spot on. This is because of your down to earth personality, and your way of simplifying the process in a way that everyone who wants to achieve positive results can, simply by following along, step-by-step.
When I first found your site, freeplants.com, the price for your system was higher, and I tried to save to be able to order it, but I just never seemed to be able to ‘get there’. Then you lowered the price to where it is currently, which is very reasonable, and I thought ‘yeah!’, how could anyone not be able to come up with such a small investment, for such a big opportunity? Well, I guess I keep getting answers to that question through medical expenses, living expenses, etc. he-he.
While I do hope to be one of the lucky 3, if I’m not, I’ll continue to keep up the hope that someday soon I’ll find myself with no emergency expenses, and the extra cash to finally purchase your system. I know that I’ll be able save money using it, and possibly even make a little too, because if Mike McGroarty says so, you know it’s right! (at least that’s what I tell my friends when sharing your tips with them).
Keep up the good work, Mike, you like any good teacher, enrich the lives of others by helping them to learn, and ‘grow’, only you do it literally.
Thank You for everything you’ve taught me so far.
Mindy Collier
carole says
I’m kinda’ new to this gardening stuff. Tried my first garden this summer. Got about a handful of green beans so far and 2 summer squash. Although this summer’s drought has been a problem, my real downfall was in the spring. I planted a lot of seeds and looked really good the first few weeks, and then almost all of them withered and died. Tried it twice before I went to a local nursery and bought some plants. I’ll try again next year. Maybe Mike can teach me how to do it the right way.
Summer says
Hi Mike,
My dad and I recently started watching your videos, and trying to grow our own backyard nursery specializing in Japanese Maples. My dad was interested in buying your system to help him get our mini “nursery” up and running. I saw this giveaway and thought I would take a shot at it and try to surprise him with a copy. We would very much appreciate a copy of your new book! Thank you so much!

Thank you, Heather
Phil Harris says
Hi Mike, I’ve been reading your newsletter for a while now and enjoy all I have learned from them. I would really like to try out your system. I am a retired firefighter who has been working for the last few years as a builder—that hasn’t gone so well lately with the economy down like it is. The thought that I could help make ends meet working at home working in the garden or green house is a good thought that I would like to turn into reality. I’m looking forward to your improved system. Thanks for all you share.
Josie the Posie Lady says

Hi Mike,
I have found such useful information in your newsletters. Without my Grandfather and great-uncle around anymore to hand out their farming tips; I needed a master to go to! Thanks! It would be an honor to win a growing system and with both sides of family having the farming genes, I would hope I could do do it justice! My husband would be there to help me too! Thanks again!

Linda Piboin says
My husband and I have two boys left at home, we inherited my mother a year ago, a daughter-in law, we help raise a 3 year old granddaughter, and two grandsons, a cat and three dogs. I started gardening when I was 4 years, I went everywhere my grandfather, a farmer, who sold vegetables, and starter plants his whole life, with an old Ford Tractor as the only mechanical devise on the farm. I learned a lot from him and the old French Farmer ways, and then added my own system of farming, and combined the two. I still do use the old ways mostly. When I read your emails you remind me a lot of him. Thank You and keep the emails coming. I would love to receive your growing system or book. Thank You

I believe this statement wholeheartedly and keep on gardening because of it.

Just found you on youtube trying to figure out muscadine and blackberry propagation. thx for the info!!!
Kaye Pearson says
Mike, I’ve been reading everything you post, wanting more and more to try becoming a back-yard grower. I live in Georgia, an hour west of Savannah, on a small lake and I have a very big yard, front, side, and back. I need to supplement my income and any amount would help greatly. I retired in New Mexico and moved back home to be with my mom, now 99 and still healthy. Unfortunately, after I bought us this house, my 401K tanked and I lost every penny of my $140K life savings so winning one of the free books would be a real blessing. However it goes, thank you for being a warm, friendly presence online. I always look forward to your emails and your generous sharing of your expertise. Sincerely, Kaye

I started on my own two months now with two gardenia plants that I will keep as my starters. Well I now have 22 plants, will leave the gardenias alone for this year. I was not sure if this would work the way you said. I will say you just may know what you have been talking about & my hat is off to you Mike.I am looking for more places to buy other kinds of plants. I would love to have your system. Thanks Mike for all the information.
Barbara Butterworth says
Sir, I am on disability and don’t have a whole lot of money to buy things of this sort even though I would die to have a growing system like this. I wish to be added to the give away pot. I’ve been following you since the middle 90’s, and when it comes to plants your my hero.
Thank you

My mom is completely infatuated and intrigued with your website and videos. She has already purchased your book. We had a 2 hour drive this weekend and she talked about you nonstop. I know she would be thrilled to receive your system for free. I don’t know much about gardening, but I admire anyone who turns their passion into a successful business.

Mark says
Hi Mike
How can I keep the mold from growing in the upside down aquarium?
I bought a dozen or so of the air propagator
shells, the branches are still alive and holding fruit after 60 days. Does it take 90 days for hardwood to develope roots?
As you can tell I have a lot to learn and need your new book. Please pull my rabbit out of your hat.

Boy I glad to see this upgrade! I am preparing to retire in the very near future and am planning on moving to South Georgia. The soil is ideal for this business, sandy loam. I was waiting until retirement and the move to purchase your growing system and it looks like this was a right choice. The set you describe sounds wonderful and I can hardly wait to get a copy. God Bless, Afton

Dustin says
Hello Mike and Duston! After watching your video “A Simple Way To Root Plants From Cuttings” I made the system with the sand and was able to propagate about 10 cuttings from my Hibiscus so far and have just planted several cuttings from my Japanese Maple. I hope the Maples turn out because they are such a beautiful tree. I have plans to propagate several other house plants that I have such as my Rubber Tree, Pilea, and several others. I am so excited to see the new product you guys came up with! Thanks for all the videos and information it really helps out a lot..
PS I like your sons name Mike! lol
Thanks,
Dustin

Kim says
Hey Mike–
Been getting your emails for awhile now and while your system has always intrigued me, I didn’t think I had the time for it. Well, our daughter has left for college and its just us two (not so spring) chickens at home now. Perhaps its time for a hobby that doesn’t involve running off to sporting events, shopping for prom dresses or other school related events.
I’m tossing my (our) hat in the ring—time to do something for us and maybe make a little money too!
Thanks!
Kim & Bob

Hi Mike, Been a fan of yours for many years. I have bought some of your VHS films and one of your e-books many years ago. Your book got me hook on progating all kinds of plants.

hello, Mike! Why do I need to win your system? I’M THE WORST GARDENER THERE IS! The last time I wrote you, I told you that I was going to try and grow zuchinni and squash. The end result? ONE zuchinni, that grew mold on it, and ZILTCH squash! Another reason: I am hoping to learn SOMETHING from you and my mistakes! Thanks, Mike!
Sincerely,
Jon Marshall
Doug says
Thanks for all of your ideas Mike. I really appreciate everything that you are doing. I love your videos and wait with excitement for each new one to come out. My friends think that making money from trees is impossible with all of the nurseries in or area, but I hope to prove them wrong.
harry says
Just wanted to say thank you Mike for all the great info you’ve given over the years. I have the old video tape system I bought from you years ago and hope to have them transferred to dvd’s since do all our viewing through digital means and can’t seem to hook up the vcr’s to any of the new stuff. God bless and keep you and your family in good health and good spirits. Will try to make it up your way one of these days to one of your get togethers.Again, thanks for the great knowledge you’ve shared with me.

Don Rolf says
I’ve been on your email list for some time now and have greatly enjoyed the info you share. It has inspired me to experiment with several propogation techniques on a small scale and I have realized how easy it is. Your inspiration and that of several books I have read has prompted me to go for broke and build a greenhouse. And like they say, go big or go home… The greenhouse is 16′ by 100′ and we will be growing organic vegtables as well as plants from seed and propogation. I can send you a picture of it if you’d like. Thanks for the inspiration and please consider me for a free copy of your new work.
ginny downs says
I have followed your website for about 3 years now and LOVE the helpful tips and information about gardening that you provide.

I am throwing my hat in the ring, too! I love gardening and I really appreciate all that you have to share. I am happiest when my hands are in the dirt. Bring it on…
Dwayne says
I have really enjoyed your articles and the free stuff. I just read your article on organic grasshopper control and I will give it a try. The grasshoppers have been really bad where I live.
Thanks,

I started growing Japanese maples from seed a few years ago. My nursery is growing and would love the advice on how to start selling my plants. Please take my hat.
LeVerta Carroll says
Hello Mike. I would also love to throw my hat into the ring. I have been following you so long that every newsletter you sent me is in a three ring binder. I have a total of 20 now and use rely on them in areas I have little knowledge in. Congradulations on your new updated books and DVDs and also I see your fan base is growing beyond what I bet even you could have ever hoped for.

I’ve always gardened by the seat of my pants. If one thing didn’t work I tried something else so I would love to have your new book. Maybe then I could tell people I garden by Mike!!
Elaine Vaneman says

Thanks soo much

Thanks

sheila murray says
Mike, I would be so thankful to obtain one of your backyard systems!!! I have gotten your emails and info for years and so appreciate all your knowledge you’ve been blessed with — thanks’ for always shareing. Although, I don’t have your system, I do sell plants. I actually work at a carpet store here in Independence, Mo., and I have wonderful sun light that comes in. I would bring plants from home in the fall (not enough room at home) into the store and people just started wanting to buy them. So, I put prices on them and here I sit, selling carpet and plants (even veggies right now). Needless to say, I do have a passion for plants!!! Again, thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you & yours!
Darlene Horstman says
I would love to be picked,course that will nevwer happen. I have gotten married since I first signed up,so now my name is different.

Jerry A says
We have begun organic gardening this year and will be turning more of our backyard into garden next year. Our two-family garden will be expanded to include more varieties. We also have been considering growing “baby” trees to supplement our (soon to be retired) income. The grand kids are home-schooled and are fascinated watching “their” garden grow and going out each day to “harvest” their crop.
geoff says
i’d love to be entered into the raffle. i am really interested in learning your secrets.

Hello Mike, Thanks for a great website. I enjoy everything about it. You seem to me to be a good down to earth person and I appreciate so much the information I have gathered from you.

Hello Mike, Please consider me your drawing too. Here in Oregon I have more small plants started in my back yard than you can shake a stick at “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home” sounds like something absolutely I need. My husband says I have the propagation part pretty well understood I need to know what to do with them after that (how to market them & to who). You have taught me a lot with your emails and updates you are appreciated more than you know.
sheila says
Sounds totally amazing. I have learned so many things and they are simple. Thanks Mike

I have been receiving your emails for about a month or so….I don’t even know how I happened upon you and your plant growing system, but I am so happy I did. Plants are my passion, and although I don’t have a lot of freevtime, I make time for plants! My neighbors stop by and thank me for having such a pretty yard. I will continue to follow you and hope to some day come by your place. Retirement is close by and maybe I can profit both financially and spiritually from a little home business. Thank you!

Roberta says
Mike,
I love your websites and I’ve read and reread your book about plant propogation. But the thing I love most is the videos you do and the newsletters you write. I feel like I know you and you really do care about all of us out here that are learning so much from you. Thanks for all you’ve taught us!
David says
Since I have started a new job I don’t have enough time to work in the garden and yard as I use to. So my wife is now the one thinking about doing the plants from the back yard sales. It would be great to have the program to give to her as a gift. May even trump the pistol I gave her as a birthday gift one year. 🙂 Her Dad was a truck farmer back in the day and she had the “pleasure” of working on the farm as a child/teenager. He was farmer of the year for our county in 1955 in the state of Florida.
Carolyn says
YES, PLEASE ADD ME TO THE LIST. i’D LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO HAVE A COPY! LOVE ALL YOU DO!~THANKS!~ 🙂
Donavan Hite says
Mike,
I have been interested in growing plants for many years but only recently stumbled on your program. I am saving some money to buy and will purchase as soon as I have it.
Kathleen Lewis says
I’ve enjoyed your articles and have put many of the ideas to use on my property. Lost my home to wildfire 2 weeks ago and will be living in a 5th wheel while I rebuild. With such cramped quarters will likely need to spend a lot of time outdoors. I think your system would help with rebuilding costs. Thanks for giving us this chance to win.

Your system has been a great way to teach my 3 kids about economies of scale and making a living doing something you love.
Bruce Maxwell says
Mike, I was saving for the old system with the intent of buying in September. It will be great to have an updated version, but even better to win the new version. Either way I expect to get one of the new versions in 2012!!! Bruce
P.S. your emails are full of valuable information. Thank you for that service

I enjoy your articles, and would love to check out the new system. Thanks for all you do!
Anna says
Hi MIke, Sorry to have missed your Shindig. Sounds as if a great time was had by all. We were up to our elbows in fallen trees and chipper-shredders, thanks to a much needed rainstorm that took out some of the worst of the drought weakened trees. There are still more to clean up. Your emails are always interesting. And full of fun and information. Thanks to you and your family for the inspiring videos and all the helpful hints.

I had never sold any plants, only gave away the extras. After reading your newsletters and web page I started encouraging extras and selling them, not a lot, only a few plants, but it has ended up paying for the new plants I have bought the last couple years. Thanks Mike!
Michelle says
I’d love to be in the drawing. No matter what, I appreciate your knowledge and expertise that you share. Thank you!

Hey,
Don’t forget Florida. Need the help with our mix of drought, almost daily downpours right now, and enough lizards, insects & fungus to keep all but the most dedicated gardeners prisoner to their air conditioner. 🙂
Das Hermit says
So many wonderful people who deserve a shot at the new system that I’m shy about tossing my hat into the ring. Still, if they are even nearly as good as the old version, they would be magnicient – and I’d love a copy to find out 🙂
Richard says
Hi Mike!

Hey Mike, I really enjoy your news letters and really dig trying out your knowledge on our plot of land. We raise chicken,ducks and turkeys and have some fruit trees,rasberries and blue berries growing, as well as several raised bed gardens and a tilled spot for our corn and squash. We are trying to feed us as well as the birds from our little spot of land. It sure would be nice to have a hard copy of your book to take outside to the gardens. Thanks for all your good work!
Michael says
Just wanted to say I enjoy the information that you publish. Keep up the good work!

Hi Mike,
I’ve been following your backyard gardening for quite a few years now. Your newsletters and videos have inspired me to adapt your methods to California and I have some really nice trees to show for it now. I appreciate your experience and your simple, make it work without a lot of extra work philosophy.
Lately, I’ve been working with a parent group to reorganize a school garden. I recently donated a box of garden books for the school volunteers to use and would love to incorporate your book in our collection. Please put my hat in the ring. thank you for all you do!

Herb Grrrl Manis says
Mr. McGroarty –
Great site, great idea. I have been trying to get something like this started, but haven’t had a solid business plan or a steady market for my plants.
I’ve got fantastic fertile land and have known that there MUST be a way to make money on it without having to spend Saturdays away from my family at the Farmer’s Market.
I’m trying to start small and want to do the work myself without help from my Husband, so I can feel that I’m making my own financial contribution to our family aside from caring for our children and keeping our home. I would love to be able to get started on it without having to ask for money, too.
Best of luck on your new release. I know that the information in your newsletter is valuable, so I’m sure your “system” is worth every penny.
Sumner County, TN
Chris says
I always enjoy watching your websites. They are valuable and knowledgeable to the beginner like me. I wish I’ll be one of the winners, so that I can actually carry out the project with confident and see the successful implementation of your experience.

Martie Hannafan says
Mike & Dustin… you guys are SUCH a great help to me!! I am the person with the morning glory problems!!! BUT, I take pride in my garden!!! This year, I really need to make some extra cash!!!! I work 50 hrs a week, but, need to buy a new car..as mine has died. ( husband is on unemployment) and I need to get a car, that I feel is safe to take my grandson in. I KNOW that I would put this system to good use!!!! AND, I would be doing something I LOVE!!!! PLEASE CONSIDER ME!!!!
Kathy Kardaras says
With your encouraging videos and emails, I built three raised beds and filled them with all sorts of veggies. Would LOVE to see you cover fruiting trees, edibles, and other practical herbals, medicinals, etc. In the new book?
Guy says
Well Mike I’m a gunsmith and gardener and looking for a retirement project and I like the idea of growing plants (they don’t complain or ask for the impossible), and if I move farther south I can probably grow more
and not have to shovel snow.

hello mike, from a ga follower.I have 2 acres of open land to start a small system on. I wait for emails for new ideas for getting my own business started. I also have grown children that can help with building anything I need. I have a job , after being without one for over a year. ( i hate the job) I want to do something here to help make a living. you learn where priorities lie after losing someone close. nothing makes me happier than watching plants grown that I rooted. other than my grand kids.Just keep all the advise coming. I save every one just in case I forget something.
Joanne says
I would love to try your growing system. Have been faithfully following your e-mails for over 2 years and have learned so much. I now have 2 brand new knees and can bend to handle gardening so will definitely be expanding my efforts over the next year.
Thanks for all the education.

Trevor Hays says
I bought your system several years ago and have went over it with a fine tooth comb out of a deep love for plants. However, I did have my VCR tapes (that long ago!) covering plant propagation and building the mist system stolen shortly after purchasing. Although I have started several cuttings (golden vicary privet, spirea, burning bush, etc.) using, and sometimes, adapting information from your printed information, I felt I should jump at the chance to get your new system and start making some money doing what I love. Thanks Mike for the chance and for all the information you have made available in the past. Tell Pam there is an apple stack cake in it for her if she can persuade you to pick me….
Duane and Beth Benton says
This is the most wonderful adventure. We have split and now started over 50 hostas. We have split and now have 27 day lillies. We have rooted 4 Rose of Sharon and dug up and planted at least 70 bulbs. All of which were taken from plants we previously had purchased. We go toyour sight a LOT, to research what else we have that we can multiply. We are anxious for your new material. My husband has lost his job, and we are not making ends meet on my salary. What a wonderful, easy, fun way to make a living. We may not be able to afford your materials, hoping we get a free copy. but best of luck to everyone who is trying. Thank you for inspiring us

Louise Gillen says
We would really enjoy having your growing system. My husband loves growing plants. I have been looking for something for him to do and this would be good for him. We lost everything in a house fire in 2007 and it took everything out of him. Then in 2011 in he had bypass surgery and is finally getting interested in doing things again. I know this would be very good and interesting for him.
Gary Klos says
Hard to follow all the above comments, since most have said it all. Anyways all I can say is I would like one.
Thanks, I enjoy all the insight you have provided.
dawne branum says
being on a fixed income, i spend alot of time at home. i have a dog, so, i am outside. i do my best at gardening & divide, propagate when i can (with help from your book & the net). i buy clearance plants & try to ‘heal’ them. i really could use your system. i could really use a couple of extra bucks too! LOL. i would be extremely grateful if you pick me, if not, thanx for the opportunity to try! dawne

David says
Please I would love to have your system . I have been out of work for a long time and am trying to propagate plants . Unfortunenately with this heat all my attempts have failed. Maybe by the time I get a job I can learn to make plants to regain status into the black .Thanks for all your info
Roger LaPraim says
i love all your great videos cant really afford to buy your system so I thank you for the chance to win it
Ryan says
I have been very interested in your system for some time. I am disabled and I believe this could be the answer to providing income (Disability has kept us going, but at a minimum). I grew up farming and working with plants, so this would allow me to work with things I love. If I win a system, I would be thrilled. I plan to do this when I am able.

I have been successfully using your system, and have taken some plants to the farmers’ market to sell. I am not sure what is involved in being one of your growers. Does it involve a membership fee, and does it provide additional resources for selling plants? I am interested in winning a free copy of your system.

Laurie Czerwieniec says
I started off clipping neighbors plants by reading and hints from you. My first was yellow lantana, clip and stick in dirt. I ended up with many cupfuls of beautiful flowers which were transfered to small pots. I got seeds from flowers, didn’t know the names of plants the first year. Next year got a small greenhouse, learned more from you and sold flowers and plants out of my driveway. 3rd year I can name many plants because of your website and email, I have two greenhouses, word of mouth got around.Now my yard is full of beautiful plants, I have returning customers and my plants are beautiful but need to learn more!!!! I would love to have your book in my collection and would read page to page. It is alot of work for just me but enjoy gardening so much I live and breath it, peace of mind and beauty. I still have to figure out and set up a watering system so it doesnt take me 2 hours a day to water all.
Bill Gunn says
I’m throwing my hat in the ring, er, pile of hats.
Karyn Goode says
Mike, I would really like your new system! I use many of your tips around my yard!

my wife and I had decided, after contemplating for a few weeks, to purchase your system. I am unemployrd, with no prospect, and this looked like a possibility for combining hobby with income potential. I am looking forward to yhe updated version.
Tyler Hrycuik says
Thanks for all your hard work Mike. I never pass up your emails, read them every time! After having my hotmail account since 97, and almost 10,000 unopened emails (since purged, thank god) that’s quite the compliment! haha. PICK ME BY THE WAY! cheers and good luck on your new Backyard Growing System.

Carole Miernik says
I have been enjoying reading your posts and learn new techniques. My daughter and I have been wanting to start selling plants for some time. Our space is very limited for planting; so we need new ideas on how to use the little space we have in a big way. I am looking forward to the new information that you have coming out.
melissa townsend says

Shirley says
Love your emails Mike! Have never bought your system because I already have to many irons in the fire, but always figure this is what I will do when I retire which is not too far down the road!
Pat says
I see you have lots of takers for your old system and even those who wish to have the new. Guess that just goes to show ya– you are the next best thing since sliced bread– and we all want a piece! Congrats to you Mike.
Teresa Richardson says
I love your site and use your site to help me as I relearn how to garden. I love planting and watching things grow, but I’m not too good at progrogating from cuttings. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I am not having success at rooting blueberry, azelea, gardenia, camelia, and other bushes like that. But I’m not giving up. Working in my little “garden” is my physical and mental therapy as I tackle Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Scleraderma. Getting something to eat and pretty up my yard are just bonuses. I would love to have a “hold in my hand” copy of your back yard growing system. I really want to start some plants this winter. Hope I win.
Terri Jaster says
Whew, I am finally in a position to start my business (we moved 2 yrs ago and the place we moved to was not plant ready)! Great timing on my part for the newest growing system, you will have to let me know how much, I’m really getting antsy to get started!
Marion says
Mike, surely would like a copy. Your video’s are the best. Down home and straight to the “plant point”. Learn a lot from just your videos online. Already, got license set up to start Home Garden Selling starting in Feb, 2013. Your new systems would be an added bonus for a beginner like myself. Stay Safe and Strong.
joel sherman says
Hi there, I am just as eager as everybody else to hopefully receive 1 on the “new” systems. I have been doing all I can this year to provide habitat and feed for the migrating birds and hummingbirds in particular as we have little or no mountain flowers this year because of the drought. We(the Mrs. and I) have been an oasis in the bleak fire storm of reality out here in Wyoming and the opportunity to participate in your efforts to promote plant life would go a long ways towards the future savings of many of my winged friends. As always we do what we can and as we reach retirement age this would promote in us a world of healthy rewards, both spiritually and financially.
Many Thanks just for the chance,
Sherm -n- Lee 🙂
Claudia says
Tossing my hat into the drawing just in case. Thanks for all the excellent advice. Now that I finished school and got my Bachelors Degree I should have more time to actually work with my plants.
Mark Lynch says

I read all your newsletters and they are THE BEST. I’d love to have your new growing system.I just retired after 32 years and was hoping to take the Master Gardeners course here in my county now that I have time but as luck would have it, I was excepted and then the class was cancelled for the very first time in the history of the county. Now I need HELP.
Kitty Buck says
Your gardening knowledge, insight, tips, and techniques are so helpful…I truly enjoy your videos showing us “how to” do gardening things and learning something new with each of your videos…Many thanks for all you do for us…Oh, and by the way I would love to win one of your new books.

Judy says
Apparently I missed my calling. I love being in the yard and your information is my bible. I am going from the corporate world to nursing and the garden is my relief from my studies. I am making the change because EVERY time there is a slight recession, I get laid off. So I need your book to get this side business going. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing!
Sandra Davis says

Marie Bassill says
Dear Mike, I am very excited about making money growing the plants and trees I love. What a wonderful way to Go Green and help others do so in the process. We just can’t have enough trees these days with everyone cutting them down at such an alarming rate. Every tree counts. That’s why I’m excited about your system and look forward to learning more. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1 and I’m so glad He did. I am absolutely in love with His creation. So the idea of combining my love of nature with creating a stream of income has me jazzed.
I can’t wait to hear from you and see your new program.
God bless,
Marie
Thank you!
Kimberly Ballinger says
Hi Mike. Just moved to a new state and I know no one. I can’t wait to try out your system and maybe meet some friends that share my same love for plants. I love the articles you put out. Please put my name in for your drawing. Hopefully I’ll win, although I’ve never won anything. Thanks and happy planting to all
Barry Nerren says
My wife and I went on a weight loss program the first of this year, and in the program I not only lost a lot of weight but gained a ton of energy! We started buying plants and landscaping our yard, as well as putting in 3 gardens with all of the new-found energy. I found your website, and I have learned so much about plants and propagation, and now I am hooked! I downloaded your Gardener’s Secret Handbook, and am enjoying the you-tube videos, also. Keep up the good work!
Christina says
I tried one of your videos on tanking an aquarium and whiting it out, well I had some dogwoods rootings i got when i was back visiting VA my old homestead. out of 10, 5 survived the aquarium. I have 1ft dogwoods growing in a small greenhouse here in Vermont. Cant wait to actually have my own yard to plant them. Love getting the emails and reading up…Have a great day…
Jeff 401 says
Mike – My gardenable area here in Massachusetts isn’t as large as yours, not by a long shot. I have 3/4 of an acre to prepare and nurture and would love your help getting started. The kit would be the perfect thing to streamline the process.
Christy Bradley says
Have just gotten started this year with my new baby backyard nursery. It is much more rewarding to do something that you love, love, love instead of something you don’t like much, in order to make money. Can’t wait until the money starts coming in.
Donna Green says
I finally found a pair of bib overalls that fit a lady, now I can look just like you, I’m excited…and I’d love to have your new growing system.

Mike says
Hello Mike,
We have discussed many subjects over the years and I thank you for all of it. I would love to win this set, because I have built a 4 season Solar powered Aquaponics greenhouse in maine, that I currently raise Plectranthus amboinicus(Broad-leaved Thyme) but no one wants it except me, even know its is awesome, and other ayurvedic plants. Regardless, I have been longing to be able to sell my plants on a larger scale, but have been somewhat unsuccessful. Would love to know what I am doing wrong or have some sort better road map.
Please consider me for the free copy.
Kind Regards,
Michael C.

I have wanted your system for years since I first heard about it but waited to see if I could get things set up to do it. I had a small patio/greenhouse built on behind my pump house three years ago then had the opp to buy a high tunnel G/H in 2010 but got sick and still do not have it up. I am gettin ready to retire maybe next year and this is what I want to do in retirement. I love your videos and articles.

At this time I don’t have the money to purchase your system but I am trying and doing everything I have learned from your news letter. Thank you so much you have no idea how much Hope and Help you have given me.
Sharon Hornis says
Hi Mike, My mother subscribed to your newsletters for years until she passed away at the age of 89. Before she did, however, her enthusiasm for the knowledge you shared inspired me to subscribe. I’ve been enjoying them ever since. I’m now to the point of seriously considering selling plants from my home. Your Backyard Growing System is just what I need to start me off on the right track. Thanks so much for all the helplful information! Please keep on educating us.

Thank you so much for the opportunity! I have not had the money to purchase your program but I love plants and I had been trying cuttings for the last year or so before I had found your website… I have had some success but I would really like to turn cuttings into a profitable business as I put myself through college.

Tim says
Thanks for adding us to your list! I have certainly appreciated all of your suggestions over the past few years!
Definitely, put me in! Getting ready to retire soon and an extra bit to put away before with quite a bit more in the future would certainly be a huge bonus in itself!
Thanks again!

Hey there Mike! I am looking to grow veggies for the family and I, and be totally independent of this consumer market. Only 1 day off in 10 days of work right now. My goal is to enjoy life, food, and relaxation. Thank you for giving us this chance to do so.

I am trying your methods to spread them to third world areas that need the help producing food for orphanages.
Anne says
Hi, Mike!
I have enjoyed your website and newsletters for several months now. I have told no telling how many people about the guy w/the great personality in the bib overalls. Love the potting john, the down to earth directions and details, as well as the practical suggestions regarding plant propagation, packaging and fudge. I’m looking forward to the starting my business, but it sure would be nice to have one of those packages! It’s also great to see a family business as an American success story.
It’s that part of the American Dream we all cherish. Thanks for sharing yourself and your knowledge so generously.
Sharon Hornis says

Count me in on your contest. I have been trying to grow plants here in a Georgia suburb — brick hard red clay. Makes great walls, poor gardens.

Hi Mike, Wow! You have so many followers! That must be a great feeling. I started getting your emails after learning about you from some site where I was getting info on a plant. I’ve been following your emails since that day. I always find your emails very helpful & I look forward to the videos. I also like to hear about your family as well. I would love to receive a copy of your book/ Small Plants, Big Profits. Thank you & God bless. Dana Bly, Newnan Ga
Debra Guinn says
I would love to win a copy of your new gardening book. I have lost my job and need to produce food for my family. I am hoping it will help, since this years crop was okay if you could live on Jalepeno’ peppers and tomatoes, 2 green beans and nothing else. I do need help. I am very good at growing weeds, but not good at anything else.
kevin says
Have been following for years, get me going
Lenisa says
I would love to have one of your systems…I have 3 acres of unused land that would be perfect for this….

Sharon says
Hi Mike:
I have read all your information and watched your videos but have never written before. I just got remarried about a year ago and may be retiring shortly. I have loved gardening since I was old enough to cross the street by myself and help my 96-yr. old neighbor who was in a wheelchair to garden. I would love to have your book to start a business when I retire. I live in PA and your helpful information has helped me greatly since our climates are basically the same. I would love to visit your place someday soon, but was unable to travel at this time. Thanks so much for a chance to receive your book.
Craig Whiteman says
I have been disabled for about 4 years now, and I need to get out and do something useful and physical this would be the perfect thing for me, please consider my name in your hat, thank you
Bob P says
Looking forward to expanding with your program next season. I am sure new program will really help us. Thanks Mike!!!
Mark R. says
Mike,
I’ve been following you for a few years now and have come to realize that I do not have the proverbial “green thumb” for gardening. In fact, the whole rooted cuttings concept continues to escape me.
I would be honored to receive a copy of your new program and would work extra hard to make you proud as I would turn into a successful and shining example of someone that can do it, “just like Mike!”
ANNE DETZER says
Oh YES!!! Put my name in the hat…pleeeease!!!!
Bryan says
Hi Mike,
Just like you said, my baby plants are growing nicely and will proudly where a “For Sale” sign next spring! Thanks for all the great tips, tricks, and tidbits of knowledge. Has given me something to look forward to and improve on, since I joined the ‘Unemployed Americans’ Club.
Linda Shelby says
Mike, I would love to have the “New System”!
I tell everyone that you are my “Gardening Mentor”. Don’t know what I would do without you!
Keep those emails coming!!
Angela says
I would love to win. I am unable to work due to back surgery and be able to garden while sitting on a rolling stool has made a huge difference in my life. I am so grateful that I have discovered that I can garden and I love it so much.
ma tufts says
Yes I would love to try your system
I have a 2 log green house type thing with the stuff I have on hand that works pretty good

Mac Poteat says
Good morning from Rockingham Co., N.C.! I’m just trying to confirm that my hat is in the ring, waiting to catch one of the three, free, Backyard Growing Systems (you can do it, Strawdog! Time your jump and keep your eye on the target). When I submitted an acronym, yesterday, I never was able to determine it had been accepted. I realize this is not a creative post competition; it’s a random drawing; but my poem was a labor of love, just like this website. Anyway, count me in, please! Thanks! -Mac, a.k.a., Sequoia BenGrizzly
Ruthmarie says
Hi Mike and Dustin,
I moved last Nov from Ohio to a Georgia Mountain. I would love a chance to win your new system.
Also any tips you may have for planting on a nearly verticle hill. I’m having trouble raising one foot to push the shovel into the ground before I tumble backwards down the hill. Which I’ve done four times before I learned how to go up and down the hill where it’s not so steep with my garden wagon. My son suggested I use a extnsion ladder and just plant at each step on the ladder, then move it over. I still can’t make a hole for the plant. Our hill is extremely huge and I need to plant hundreds of plants and hope your system will help me save money and maybe make some money too. I’m 78 and enjoy your emails a bunch. Thanks
Ruth
James Weitz says
Looks like there are a lot of people interested in your new book. I would like one also. Quit my job a few days ago and need something to do with my time. This is it.

Your new tip is exactly what I needed I want to propagate my Harry Lauder Walking Stick.

I’ve been receiving your wonderful plant advice by email for the last four years. I even made two of your rooting systems using aquariums-AND THEY WORKED. I would really like to own one of your new systems. Thanks for all the good advice.
Mary McCartney says
Hi Mike, I have played with flowers for years, but all my yards had either gumbo or as in NM sand. I still have had pretty good successes. I am now 74 and still working outside the home. Need a home business, and since the first place I head after is my backyard maybe plants should be my moneymaker. I can use all the info you can drum up for me. Thanks and keep up the good work. Love all your info and videos.
Tiffany/Brent says
Hey Mike, I have been following you for quite awhile, but I’m just now at a point where I could actually do something. I love plants and would so enjoy learning more about what you do! So excited!!
james r. walden says
78 years old-enjoy growing a small garden in my back yard every year- i have flowers growing every were in my yard. need to know more about plants.
M Kar says
Until 12 years ago, I had never gardened. I arrived in this country with no knowledge of how Mother Earth operated! And then we bought a house with a big yard. I started spending all my extra time, weekends in that yard, planting, weeding, waiting…for little miracles to happen. I signed up for your newsletter many years ago to help understand what I was doing. you have helped me enormously over the last many years in understanding different aspects of gardening – a task I am addicted to now. Thank you very much.
John says
Thank you for the opportunity.
gerry says
I look forward to the information that is better than the already outstanding information you have been delivering for the last Five (5) years; best wishes on your continued success.
Gerry

Kris Demien says
Love all the hints on gardening. They’re a big help in my backyard.
Shari Winn says
Mike,
Thanks so much for single handedly changing the way I approach my yard. Your no nonsense realistic direction is right on target! I would love to win your new system but even if you do not pick me thanks for teaching us and taking the time to promote “the little guy” type of business…
anonymous says
My mom mom is a newly recovered alcoholic. Gardening is helping her through her recovery tremendously. She is out in the yard as we speak, bless her heart. She bought “Red Head Coleus” earlier this Summer and progogated it because she couldn’t decide whether she wanted it in the front yard or the back… She has been at it ever since, rooting potato vines and Purple Queen. They are her “babies.” She talked about trying to progogate plants for extra income. Come September, it will be a year since she lost her job. I think the information that you are offering would help her tremendously… help her through this recovery, cultivate her “inner garden,” and possibly provide the extra income we need to help us not lose our house.
michel baum says
i would like to win one since I will be retiring soon, that will give me some thing to consider doing
Lupe Harrion says
Thank you for the opportunity! I’m a new gardener and I’ve been following your suggestions and still learning. Some things have worked and some I’m still working on. I’d love a copy of your new program! Thanks!
Cathy says
My husband has been living 5 states away for over a year now in order to keep his job. This can’t go on much longer. He used to keep a flower & veggie garden and landscape stuff too but he can’t now. And I’ve been vegetarian for a year now and would love to grow my own food instead of paying big bucks for simple food. Your system would be a big help to us in many ways. And we’re your age, this could also be our retirement plan too!
Adrienne says
Ohhh, me me pick me. 🙂
Al Pistole says
So writing your new book has kept you from making new posts or videos. It will be worth the effort.

Gio says
I am quite interested in becoming rooted in plants.
Eric says
I’m getting close to “retirement” and would love to get started on my next life with your system.

Donna Brown says
Hi Mike,
I enjoy reading your newsletter, but have been hesitant to buy it because I live in the mountains of vermont and have a short growning season..still would love to try this and start selling plants from my home. or at the local lawn sales during the spring.

So, Mike, count me in for the drawing!

minnie says
I
truly need your system. I lost my job with the State of FL after 24 years due to Gov closing our Juvenile Justice facilty. I have been working in my garden, growing out veggies and making ends meet. But I just don’t have the secret to making everything grow and produce. Maybe your system will help.
Ricki Ryan says

I would love to have my hat thrown into the ring as well.
Thanks for the chance!
Cody says
Hi Mike,
I would love to get your new system. Your videos are very informative and I think my wife and I have sat down and watched all of them at least twice. This is something that could allow my wife to stay at home with our baby coming in December and not have to work in order to pay for daycare!
Donna G. says
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your advice and videos. I would love to win one of your systems. I am in North Mentor and deer are my worst gardening nightmare.

Thanks for all your hard work and the information you supply for us all!!!!
Marla Chance says
Oh My. Hi Mike, lots of good folks to choose from . I follow your good advice and have actually gotten better at gardening. I am close to retiring and would love to profit from my gardening. Thank you for considering me for your free new system.
Donna says
Okay – it’s my turn to win something! I have been considering making a profit on my green thumb and love of gardening for a while. This may just be what I need to get me started. I only hope the growing season in CT is long enough to be profitable. That’s what’s been holding me back. Best of luck to everyone else, but I believe it’s my turn.
Loralei says
Mike,
I have learned a lot just by reading your articles online. The tips you give help to make it all seem simple and easy to implement.
While I haven’t gone big scale for the plant clippings, I’ve definitely got my eye on what is possible for my plants and prosperity.
Thanks! Looking forward to your new products.
Bill says
Hi Mike,
Thanks for all your tips and insights into gardening. Here is one that I use….I found using a low dilution of hydrogen peroxide and vitamin C foliar spray on my grapes help keep some bugs and all fungus off the grapes…we will have a great harvest this year.
(I also use this on my lettuce, spinach and other leafy greens)
thanks again.
Shelly says
Hello there. I would love to be considered for a Free backyard growing system. I have followed your posts for 5 or 6 years now. I truly believe you are the real deal.

richard says
been using your first system for 2 years. love it. would like to try new.
Rich Minton says
I’ve just retired and now may have both the time and having just moved recently, may have the space to do your system! And having just retired I’m definitely in need of some replacement income. By the way, the instructions for downloading your free book (right click mouse and select Save) does not work with Firefox browser. Given all the problems with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, lots of us are not using IE any more, although when it didn’t work on Firefox, I used IE to download the book. Thanks again for all your great help.
Jessica says
Hi, Mike:
First, I want to say “thank you” for all your fabulous work and information! I always look forward to your newsletter and find your vids really helpful (and fun). Throwing my hat in the ring for your new Backyard System, but I know I will continue to enjoy hearing from you regardless.
All the best!
JMZ says
Mike, I’m so happy you have decided to print an actual book! While I read all the info you send to my email, I am really a book in the hand girl. This is perfect timing as I have just retired and can spend all my time in the garden. I hope to come up to your shindig next year and join in the fun.

Joe says
Hi Mike, you opened my eyes to the possiblities last year when i found your site. I have never invested in your system as i wasn’t sure id have time being self employed and having 3 small kids. However, my self employment is coming to an end, and the ability to bring in a little money while im looking for employment would be a great help!
Mike says
Consider my hat thrown in….
Jan Nahorski says
I would be honored to receive this as I do not have a great retirement but I am a avid gardner-in fact I would say I am a Garlic Farmer as I had 326 garlic plants in the ground this year. But the idea of doing something that you enjoy doing and getting a return on it is extremely appealing to me. Thanks for your offer.
donna says
Mike, Like so many others I’d love to be chosen to have a copy of your new program but even if I don’t please don’t stop with your video that you put on your news letter.
They are so helpful. I keep them on my computer plus I copy what I can and have a notebook full that I printed.
Thank you for the chance you have given us to have this new program.
Sincerely
donna
Sharon says
I have lots of plants growing and would love to make some money off of them. 🙂
Keith says
Really like your videos. I ordered the air propagation system as soon as I saw it. Postage was twice the price for 6 vs. 3, so no savings on postage per unit.
Dianne says
My hat is in the ring!
Laura A says

Raymond L Hargrove Jr says
Dear :
Mike I would love to be considered for The free programs you are offering . I was a Lieutenat in the fire department for 15 yrs up until Febuaru 13,2012 when the private company I was working for come in 10 days before that and with out any advanced noticed laid us off , well know I’m out trying to find a job which in this economy is not a easy task , one is most Fire departments are civil service and their cut off age is 36 , I’m 47 whether you can do the job or not the wont even let a man test because of age , which I think is a discrimination , but it would take more money than a man like myself has , I have a family been married for 21 yrs and have a daughter going to college , I visit order and buy off the growers board and seek advice from it all the time , basically what I’m trying to do is find something to put my energy in that I can count on where I do not have to depend on someone else to determine my living for the rest of what I have left on this earth . I love plants and love to grow things I get a tremendous satisfaction out of the hard work , especially with the help of your system and the lord at looking at the end product knowing that I grew that beautifully plant myself if you know what I mean , I feel in my heart that the system you have could bring me and my family a great deal of satisfaction and prosperity to our family and give me back the feelings of being a man , I don’t know if you ever lost your job but for a man it’s tough not being able to support your family because of circumstances beyond your control .
Any way thanks for all you have done to help people and for what you continue to do to help others achieve the hopes and dreams they search for in this thing we call life.
Thanks
Raymond L Hargrove Jr
Mike says

But we have retired from our 9-5 jobs now – Spring may be our time (finally)

Consider my big old cowboy hat too!! Learned farming/gardening from grandfather from the Phillipines and still do it here in my solon house backyard the old fashion way. Planting varieties of tropical veggies for xpollinatio and better results.The perineal flowers really helps to attract the pollinators. Even able to propagate cherry lime/lemon 1″ in dia. (calamansi called by Filipinos) from cuttings. I enjoy gardening.

Brian Foster says
Hey Mike, Before I started following you 3 -4 years ago I was laughed at all the time by friends and family. Even my wife. I was unable to successfully plant,grow or even maintain any sort of plant, let alone an entire garden. However I never did let that stop me because even as frustrating as it could be, it was my getaway from the everyday hustle and bustle. Lets just say with the guidance you have given to me thru your emails I no longer am the guy that they were all getting there kick out of. Infact some of them even ask for my advice now, so I would most definitely like to be considered for one of the 3 copies.
Thanks so much, Mike
Anita says
Hi Mike:
Love receiving your tips, advice and information and watching the great results in my garden. I’m hoping to have a future Backyard Growing System Business and would love to participate in your drawing. Thank You!

Robert says
Hello Mike,
I am a computer technician by day, but enjoy gardening for fun. I’ve been reading your blog posts and watched a few of your videos. I spoke to a friend of mine the other day about your backyard nursery and he was so excited. I’m not sure if he purchased your system before you took it down or not, but he sure seemed geeked about the idea.
I would love to test your new product and provide feedback both from a technology standpoint as well as gardening the small pot business. I’ve taken the idea and started a few herbs that I took to the local farmers market. Although the herbs have not sold as well as I would like, there seems to be a growing market for perienials in the area.
My hat is off to you for developing a busienss around something you enjoy. Now that it is off…can you add my name to the growing list of prospects for your new book too.
Thanks,
Robert
Julie says

freddie kearney says
Hey Mike, you are the ” leprechaun” in my garden. Here in the emerald isle (Ireland) we believe leprechauns are more then just “little green men” they have the power to help, and transform our wildest dreams into a lasting reality,just like your good self.
But above all, the inspiration and love for plants, that you pass to others is so infectious that it motivates people to turn their yards into a paradise rivaling that of the original garden of Eden.
More power to your elbow.
Lisa-marie Gannetta says
Hi Mike,
I am throwing in my gardening gloves ( I do not wear a hat as they fall off from my thin hair from my thyroid condition Ha Ha)
I am 55 years old and I work two jobs ( I was a single mom from the time my oldest was 6 and I was carrying my 2nd child ) Now I still work two jobs because I married my soul mate 5 years ago (a man with huge debt from his first marriage.)I have long been considered “the plant lady” at work. I am always sharing my “gardening knowledge” with the people I work with. They seek me out all the time. I love working in the garden, both veggies and flowers and shrubs. I would love to be able to start a backyard system! I would be doing what I love, and be able to do it and make enough money to work only one job, then eventually aspired to become a Mike Mc Groarty in female form
michael denmeade says
hi mike i live in tasmania in australia and read your emails for enjoyment and advice. your articles made me decide to try my hand at plant propagation and over the last year i have started selling them at markets. i have been having good results and meeting people and making new friends along the way.a lot of my success is due to your help and support and i would love to win one of your books and dvds to help keep me going in the right direction. again many thanks another mike.

Tricia Campbell-Graham says
Mike, please throw my gardening hat in the ring! I have started a bunch of plants from starts, and from seed. There is so much competition in Eugene, Oregon that it is hard to find a place to sell them. Bought a house with 1/6 acre that we can use to start plants and ensure we can keep our property. We would greatly benefit from your expertise and your networks. Have been a fan of yours for years! Would love to win your backyard growing system! Thank you! Tricia

I enjoy your e-mails very much and would love to be entered in the contest. I want to grow berries and fruits to sell at local farmers markets.
I think having young plants for sale would would help attract customers and be a compatible extra income line.

Good Morning Mike!
You betcha I’d like to be considered for one of your Backyard Growing System! I have enjoyed reading your great tips and love the videos. Makes me smile ’cause you’re so dang honest! I’ve shared your website with many friends. I’m hoping to use your tips on saving my dead lawn since here in the Midwest like a lot of places, the drought has taken its toll on everything that requires rainfall. Pray for RAIN! for everyone who needs it!
Judi Rotondo says
Hi Mike, love getting your news letter, have learned sooo much . I’m disabled due to many back surgerys but still love to try and do my gardening. Congrates on the new book.
Monica Colling says
Congratulations on your New Backyard Growing System. Thank you for providing us with a chance of being able to win you book and cds. I find your tutorials very inspirational and have learned a lot from your wise advice.

I love all your newsletters and tips! I feel like I know you as a neighbor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights with all of us brown thumbs as well as the green ones!

lainey says
Sadly My mom recently passed away, and I took care of her for 5 years. She had a love of flowers and plants, and her yard is full of things i could repot or root and sell this Spring! Hostas, Red Maple, Japanese Dogwood, Irises, Blue rug juniper and many ornamental grasses! I meant to do it last fall, even collected the seed pods, etc, but then she got worse, and I just lost my momentum. I will begin this fall to “prepare” and collect like you instructed! A copy would be nice to help me along! Thanks for the opportunity Mike!

Hello Mike,
I would like to throw in for your new book. Due to several uncontrollable issues this year(drought)has been difficult to keep things going.

Janet Eberle-Wilkins says
Mike, while I would LOVE to have a copy of your book, it looks like you are going to have a hard time making a decision. I love your columns and read them diligently as they come to me.
I plant shop most Saturdays (always looking for bargains). Propagation allows me to share with my friends, and even those I meet at the plant nurseries that I don’t know. For me, that is what it is all about.
Please know that I am one of your greatful followers and would consider it an honor to have a copy of ypur new book.
Congratulations to you and goods luck to everyone.

Jeannie says
I hope I’ll be considered for the new book. It looks like I may be down on the list, but maybe you are selecting me randomly. I hope I am special enough to get a copy. I love your site and your news letter. You look and seem like a person I already know. The best to you.
Thanks, in advance.

Juanita Buckles says
Since my accident when I was a kid, then my car accident a few years back, I’ve been left with epilepsy and fighting to keep walking.My husband got laid off twice in the last two years, and we’re looking for a way to work “at home”.I write, paint, design handbags,compose music,etc, but those things aren’t very interactive, and Ralph and I have only been married two and a half years. We want something we can work on together. We both enjoy (to put it mildly) gardening, and my neighbors already love our organic vegies and herbs. I hear them stop, too, to admire our flowers and grapes, and a lot is due to what I’ve learned from your emails. Talk about great tips! We would be so pleased if we could receive your system.Thank you just for considering us, whether you decide on us or not.
howard says
congrat on your new book & dvd’s. I have learnt more from your site than from my local garden shops . Thank you. I am still new to gardening,and hope to learn more from you.Please enter me for your drawing and again thank you for helping me to become a better gardener.
Gina Osterloth says
Mike,
I pray that you would conider us for a copy of your new book. We are working on developing a recovery ranch and we could put that book to very good use from helping us to grow things for the residents to eat, to teaching them ways to support themselves. Please! put our name in the hat and may the Lord bless your new endeavors. We so appricate all the information you share and the information/education you give to us all. Thanks!Gina Osterloth

Mike, I would love to receive a copy of your book. I have been interested in growing plants since I was a kid and have enjoyed your website and emails with all of the good hints for the past few years. I’m throwing my hat in the ring. Thanks for all the good advice.
Hendrika Overkleeft-Fullerton says
Sometimes you need help to make that garden grow the way you see it and your program is one of the best out there. One of your books would be a grand addition to my own program. I am moving to a different house thus need new ways and ideas to make this yard as grand as it can be. Thank you in advance Hendrika

Hi, Mike-
Well, it’s rather crumpled (and more than a little bit dirty), but if you really want my grimy old hat, I would be happy to share it with you. (And I hope you are willing to share your ‘Brand New Backyard Growing System’ with me!!)
Thanks again for all that you do!
Christi Upson says
So many folks could really use your new system, Mike. I, too, would love to be considered to receive one of the new system copies, please. Been out of work since 2005 and helping my aging mother since 2006 by being her secretary, liaison (medical and legal), and doing all the little things she doesn’t want to. Gardening is one of my pleasures and I want to learn so much more. Really do enjoy your emails and the other folks that comment on your links. Blessings to you and yours.

I have followed you for years but have not had the money or the time to do your system. Now I have lost my job and cannot get anyone to hire me since I am over 50!
I am an avid Gardner and could really use your system to help me with a new career.

Even if we have a total different climate in South Africa and some of your tips may not help, your overall approach to your database/followers is very encouraging and I really enjoy all your newsletters.
I have learnt a lot from you and hope a copy of your book could cross the oceans to the southern tip of Africa.

Here’s my hat! I’m hoping to retire soon from many years working 12 hour shifts at a chemical plant. I have always always loved plants and all things gardening, and my dream has always been to have my own plant business. I’ve got the space and the love, and soon will have the time. Looking forward to time outside in the fresh air and sunshine away from chemical reactors… and the added income will be a tremendous bonus! Would LOVE a free copy of your system!
Thanks Mike!!!!!

Please, I would love to have a copy. I have been trying to get my garden started for that past 2 years, but I’m not having a lot of luck. i love your site and newsletters.
David Huff says
Mike,
We are a year away from retirement, and plan on helping our income along with your system. We have already started getting ready. We live on 10 acres of land and have sectioned off 2 acresfor our plant business. So this is me throwing our “hat” in the ring!! My wife would really be proud if we won, cause I’m kind’a the kind of guy who puts things off.(as long as possible). Thanks for this wonderful opportunity.
Allen says
Looking forward to the new book and crossing my fingers that it’s MY hat that brings it to me free.
Brenda Stephens says
Hey, Mike I’m delighted to hear about your new book & DVD’s. I seriously doubt you want my ratty old sunhat-too smelly! Since I moved across country from an area with No freezing nights(or days) to many where I now live your emails have been a great resource to fall back on. But reading all your emails, etc. have taught me that apple trees grown from seed need a period of cold weather to take off. I have 3 all different sizes & brands thanks to you! I’ve also grown many plantings for our local garden club to sell to make it some money. We have a yearly sale locally & this year I even had 2 of the propagated roses go to their new homes with buds on them-in 2 months growing time. They were cuttings from my knockout roses. Next year they will be from the double knockouts. So with the millions of fans with hats in the ring, what will you do with all those hats? LOL I would really like to get one of the FREE copies but either way my(your) growing system works & can always pray for one, right? Thanks, Mike
Diedra Donivan says
Hello, Mike McGroarty! Breathlessly awaiting notification of my winning your book. 😉 Peace

What a wonderful opportunity! I would love to be one of those honored with a copy! I can promise to read it right away and write a review ASAP! Thank You for this Chance! I am moving to a place in the country, and am looking forward to doing some gardening!
Thank You!

Mike, I read nearly all your emails. Most I save for future reference. I find a wealth of info. In your emails al
