Free Backyard Growing System

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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

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!

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??”

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    I’ve been on your mailing list for some time and love to watch your videos.

    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.

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.

    I used you as an inspiration to become a “seed” farmer. I grow plants for the seeds they yield. I think propogating plants would be a logical next step. I hope I win your backyard growing system. I think I’ll be buying your new edition.

    Winning this I think would go a LONG way towards turning that dirt lot into something spectacular! Thank you for the chance to win it!

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.

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.

    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.

We have loads of space within the school to develop with what you are growing into a real fund raiser as well as the school benefitting from the shrubs we grow in and around the buildings. I feel sure the school would be delighted if you chose them. Thanks Mike

    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!

    After 24 yrs of serving the great people of these United States, I am being forced out of work due to an injury. I would love to have a business like this that will “cure” my soul and feed my family. Can I keep my hat though? This bald head needs shade from the sun if I am going to be spending so much time in it. HAHA

    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’.

    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

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!

    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

    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.

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.

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.

    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

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    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….

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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hi Mike, My mother subscribed to your newsletters for many years until she passed away at the age of 89. Before she did, however, her enthusiasm for the knowledge you shared inspired me to sign up. I’ve been enjoying them ever since. I’m finally to the point of seriously considering selling some plants from my back yard — on a small scale at first — then who knows? Your Backyard Growing System is just what I need to get me started on the right track. Thanks so much, Mike for all the help you’ve so generously shared. Keep educating us!

I am most intersted in the rooting and cutting propagation of plants. I was so inspired by your series I put in a veg garden this year for the first time in 35 yrs. I also grew a whoppin patch of red and yellowheart watermelons. I really would treasure a copy of your book!!! Thanks again for everything and keep those videos coming!!

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

    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.

    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.

    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!”

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As I looked at your shindig pictures, I noticed you have grown enough to have large equipment(tractor) and fancy working systems (yes, the gas can…and huge piles of potting soil). Can you share some stories of tricks and tips for just starting out?

    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

    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.

    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

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!

    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.

    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.

    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

Last year, I figured I’d use one of those things they advertise on TV to “till” up the ground. HA! It wouldn’t go in the dirt. I tried a shovel. Another Laugh…not even with me jumping up and down on it. It wouldn’t break the ground. I finally found a couple of scattered spots that I was able to use. Then, no squash, no cucumbers, the watermelon were eaten by the neighbors dogs, and the ford hooks didn’t have a prayer with the dry summer we’d had to start with.

    I always look forward to your news letter. I have learned a great deal from them. I am retired and like so many others I need a way to earn extra cash. Growing and selling plants might be just the thing as I love to propagate new plants. A copy of your Back Yard Growing System might be just the thing to get me started on a rewarding and profitable endeavor.

    Hey Mike – I would like to have a copy of your new gardening system – I am 69 and always loved gardening – since I was a little girl and helped my dad in the yard. Of six sibling I am the only one who inherited my dad’s love of gardening.
    I purchased your book on propagating and have made the fish tank
    propagating system. thanks for the easy to follow instructions and tips on your website – looking forward to many more years of gardening. By the way I live in an apartment building in New York – so most of my gardening is done in containers.

    I repurpose discarded bathtubs into very useful spacious planters, I punch holes in the bottom and seal the hole where pipes go with silcone glue and a flat drain stopper. A friend builds concrete block surrounds for the tubs – so they look like large concrete block planters – so cool and the tubs sre kept out of landfills

    I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING YOUR NEWSLETTERS FOR MANY YEARS. I AM A NOVICE AT GROWING PLANTS. MY HUSBAND IS A WOODTURNER AND MAKES BEAUTIFUL IKEBANA VASES TO SELL AT ART SHOWS. WHEN WE DO A BOOTH SET-UP, WE USE A LOT OF FRESH FLOWERS IN THE IKEBANA VASES. IT IS VERY COSTLY TO BUY FRESH CUT FLOWERS LIKE THE ONES WE USE (CALLA LILIES, ASIATIC LILIES, GLADIOLAS, TULIPS, IRIS, ETC) SO I THOUGHT I COULD SAVE US SOME MONEY BY GROWING THESE FLOWERS. I WAS HOPING MY HUSBAND WOULD PURCHASE YOUR SYSTEM FOR ME AS A MOTHER’S DAY PRESENT, BUT HE DID NOT TAKE MY HINT (BUY ME THIS). HE HAS HIS WOODTURNING, AND I NEED SOMETHING ENJOYABLE AND PROFITABLE TO DO AS WELL. I AM SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF TALENTED AND CREATIVE PEOPLE: MY HUSBAND THE WOODTURNER, A DAUGHTER WHO SINGS, ANOTHER DAUGHTER WHO IS A PHOTOGRAPHER, AND MY BEST FRIEND IS A POTTER. AT 53, I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR MY TALENT. I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GROWING PLANTS AND HOPEFULLY SELLING THEM. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER ME IN YOUR DECISION AND THAT YOU CAN HELP ME FIND MY HIDDENT TALENT!

I have read so much of your how to’s and such since signing up for your free lessons via email alerts that what I can now pass on to my Sons is simply amazing. My oldest who is serving a Mission for our Church is so excited about getting back home and putting in to practice those things you have taught me through your email alerts. Thank you in advance for putting together this new and I am sure is an exponentially exciting book. Most respectfully;

    I’ve been visiting your site and getting your emails for years. I’ve been wanting to do this backyard growing system for ages, but as I live in a small multiunit apartment, I’ve never had the space or land to do anything. I’ve recently moved into a small house and while I cannot use the front yard, there is a bit of space in the back that I might be able to use to try the growing system for myself. I’ve put a lot of money into moving and unfortunately I’ve recently had job cuts that have put my budget in a shaky situation. It would be great if I could make a bit of extra money growing and selling small plants from my new backyard to supplement some of the income I lost, and besides I want to grow things.I like it, and I want my plants to thrive. I hope the random selection chooses me, as I could really use a free copy of all the tips. I use some now, and I would be good advertising for the system because I like to show off what I like to do for fun. I look forward to more emails since I’ll have more freedom to use the tips from them now.

    I just found your website last week when looking on the internet for information on rooting cuttings. I was so glad that I did and signed up for you free offers. I was “glued” to the computer for about 2 hours after signing up. My wife kept asking me what I was doing on the computer for so long. “Are you talking to your girlfriend?” I was watching your videos, which are a great way to learn by actually seeing how to do things. Your method of teaching in plain and simple english and the easy to understand instructions and videos makes the system a winner. So, yes, put my name in the hat. I would love to try your new system. I am a novice gardiner and just moved to the country after living on concrete in the city for 58 years. If I can do it, anyone can. I would love the opportunity to prove that your system works.

    Mike, I have soaked up a lot of info from everything on your site and all of the great e-mail tips you send me. I’m sure I have only scratched the surface reading what I can access. I would love a free copy of your backyard growing system, please put my name in.

    P.S. Nothing has been more rewarding to me in my backyard than potting up some rooting cuttings.

    thanks

    Hey Mike,

    Thanks for all your e-mails on all your gardening tips. I live in Australia and can adapt your techniques to our conditions. I’ve always wanted to grow plants for sale for the last 30 years but haven’t had the confidence to do so until I read your site. Japanese maples are my passion of which I have over 40 varieties and would like to propagate them for sale. I have had a disability through a car accident 24 years ago and life’s been pretty tough but reading all your inspirational e-mails have helped me to start taking cuttings by the hundreds. Thanks again for inspiring me. Kind regards
    Andrew

    Hi Mike, I’ve been folloing the gardening tips for months, and implementing a small version of your systm. I desperately want your new version, and had been planning to purchase the fully hard copy version. I will use the system for some desperately needed extra income,and keep you updated on my progress. I am 75 years old, and recovering from very serious leg surgery. So, if I can do it, ANYONE can. Thanks,

    Dear Mike & Duston

    I believe that I am a worthy recipient of the new BACKYARD GROWING SYSTEM because for many years I have followed a career path that in many ways is much like Mike’s. At an early age I began doing private landscaping as my main source of income until I was 18 and fortunate enough to go to university. Throughout most of my summer’s I continued working in the gardening and horticulture field as landscaper, greenhouse employee and even working for a city’s horticulture department. After completing an undergraduate degree and a bachelor of education I am paying off a tremendous student debt as I am unable to secure a full time position in Nova Scotia, Canada as there is an excess of teachers and continual cutbacks. Consequently, I see myself continuing my hobby/career in the plant field for many years to come. With all this in mind, I believe the new BACKYARD GROWING SYSTEM can help me stabilize my current economic situation and also permit me the ability to bring excellent quality to many people at fair, affordable prices.

    Sincerely, Nick

    Mike and Dustin,

    I have saved every e-mail from you, am avidly growing cuttings and am very anxious to start selling them as soon as I am able to move out of this garage apt I have been in for the last 4 years. I can’t sell them out in the front because, unfortunately, the neighbor that rents the front house is too unstable for me to take the chance of having customers have to deal with him. I am looking to move in the next couple of months and cannot wait to see your new course. Please consider me as a viable candidate for your new book giveaway. Wish I lived closer so I could have attended your Open House, but it’s a bit far from Florida. God bless you for all the information you share, and I wish you all the luck with your new system.

    Thanks for considering me.

    While I come from a generation that actually believed that “The best things in life are free” in the end result I have learned that money makes the world go round! I have enjoyed your emails and your website, unfortunately, I have no money. So please consider me for a free copy of your backyard growing system. I am sure that I would love the material. Propagation is something that fuels my soul. To bring it to a point of actually making money would be a culmination of all my many efforts over the years. I plant seeds, take cuttings, and in general propagate all the time. To have a catalyst to see me to a fruitful end would be so rewarding. One of my best efforts is a California redwood, grown from seed. It will stay potted for a yard bonsai! Thank you for your consideration!! Linda

    I have read nearly every posting that you put out, and it has helped us trememdously. I live with my dad and step mom, and every penny is precious to us. My step mom had a brain aneurysm, and followed it with a stroke 3 weeks later. I am not putting this in my reply for sympathy, but rather, the additional money from growing and selling small plants sounds like a great way to replace a lost income, and keep the roof over our heads during this difficult time. Thank you for all of your helpful tips, and we don’t have a large yard, but can use these tips.

Your backyard system may be just the thiing he needs.

    Working 40 hours a week sometimes just isn’t enough. I do have a veggie garden and grass but as far as making money with my land it has not happened. I am ready to purchase your product and went there tonight to do so, but found out your selling it at the moment.

    Dear Mr. McGroarty,

    I am so impressed in your down-to-earth approach to teaching and helping others in all areas and aspects of gardening. I find your videos so helpful as open my thoughts to broadening my interest areas and wanting to move to the country, where I can grow just about anything.

    I would love to have the opportunity to have a set of the free materials you are giving away. I want you to know that I will share them with others, and thus whet their appetites for more treasures from your wealth of information about gardening.

    Blessings,

    Ellen

    Mike, your emails are all saved into a folder I made with your name on it, wouldn’t want to get confused and lose a single one. Would I get your new growing system confused? Nope, it would be out where I could get the book dog-eared and soil-stained and the DVD’s on the player for quick reference. Don’t get too tied up with the final production details!

    Hi Mike! I would LOVE to have a copy of your new and updated Backyard Growing System! I have been a member of the Forum and have even purchased as et of your original Backyard System tapes (it was so long ago that these are in the VHS format!)(smile). I used to live in New Jersey and moved here to southern California about 8 years ago when my late wife first was diagnosed with cancer. She, unfortunately, has been gone a few years now, but growing ‘stuff’…anything!…is still a favorite pastime for me. I do admit to needing ‘help’ to get things organized and all set up so that I can actually make a ‘Business’ out of my hobby.
    Thanks so much for all the insight and help you have provided over the years in not only helping grow trees/plants for also for focusing me on a very enjoyable pasttime!!!
    Best of luck to you and your staff (and to your wife! after all she is the one who has put up with all the dirt and mess, right?)(smile)

    This has worked very well, and today hes planting a low divider hedge in the back yard with 2yr old plants. Hes already got this spring cuttings on the go.
    I am encouraging him to keep this up and we can sell them. I posted a bogus add to test the market, and someone wanted 70 plants! Hsd to tell them we sold out this year,lol

    hi Dear Friend,
    I feel as if I know you. I have kept everyone of your e-mails and refer back to them all of the time.
    Right now I am trying to get a start off of my Wisteria bush to give to our Attorney. He said it is almost impossible to get a start off of the Wisteria and wants one to start out as a tree. He has a lot of land and loves growing plants and flowers.
    We brought a young Mimosa tree home from Gatlinburg for him and some of my friends. I explained to them not to let all of the seeds to take root or they will become a nuisance. I have two growing in my front yard, one in each corner, since we mow the yard often they don’t get out of hand.
    I would love to have one of the three FREE Backyard Growing System books that you have left over.
    I love growing flowers and do well with them in pots but tried to root the Wisteria by a small end of the plant in sand in a plastic dish pan with lots of holes in it and put it in a see through plastic bag. I sprayed it with water to keep the condesation up and the heat from the Sun was helping. I had it on my covered front porch but the sand turned green like the sand was molding.
    I really need one of your valuable books to learn what I did wrong. I am willing to give you my pink baseball cap that I wear once in a while to keep the Sun out of my eyes in our Jeep. Please consider it a trade, you would really look cute wearing it. I know all of us woud get a laugh out of watching you wear it in one of your helpful video’s.
    Thank you for considering me as one of the most thankful and loving fans of yours. I have enjoyed your e-mails from the first one you sent out to the last one.

    Mike,
    Seeing as how there are tons of others already asking for a free copy I thought I’d make my plea a little more intense.
    I live in a small, third-world town in north central Texas. The towns around us have running water, electricity, and high-speed internet. They also have plants and fresh air. Though our town also has electricity and running water, we don’t have high-speed internet or many plants that survived this summer. We also had a serious grasshopper problem that cost me my entire garden because I decided a few years ago to go completely organic. Did I mention that the soil in our town is 300% worse than all of the surrounding towns and cities? I have to haul in yards and yards of compost and manure every fall and spring just to make my soil in my garden somewhat tolerable to all the plants that will eventually die there. If I were to receive a free book from you not only would I be the only person in my town with an actual book, I will hopefully be able to grow some plants that live a little longer than the time it takes to snap a photo for proof that I can indeed keep a plant alive long enough to show someone. Once I’m able to do that I can grow enough veggies and fruit trees to end world hunger, grow enough timber to build houses for all of my loved ones, and grow flowers enough to fill every wedding chapel and funeral home from here to civilization. I think your choice here is obvious and I look forward to the new book. Would you mind terribly if I asked you to autograph it?
    Thank you very much.
    Sincerely,
    Kyle

    Mike, One of my passions is planting trees and shrubs and watching them grow. Until I discovered your system, I purchased these in plastic buckets, dug a hole in the yard and planted them. But now, I make cuttings and am able to watch them take root and begin to grow. I love turning one plant into hundreds. I also have a bag of peat in the fridge with Japanese Maple seeds sprouting that my Mom will be glad to see gone (ha). I love starting from scratch, and would love to have your program so that I may learn more and more. I’m gonna be thrilled to turn my pleasure into dollars – that’s a bonus. Thanks in advance, Zane

    Hi Mike, I have enjoyed your inspiring & educational emails the past couple yrs. I’ve been gainfully employed during that time, caregiving in a private job where I was able to create a lovely garden with the woman I worked for. I’ve been a gardener all my life & have told folks it was my sanity to be able to get my hands in the earth &
    GROW things. I’ve sold some “patio pots” & done weddings with my flowers, worked 3 yrs. for Conservation & Land Management of W. Australia in their tree nursery, propagating trees as well as special controlled pollination projects, & replanting areas of the forest there. Worked on an organic ginger farm in Hawaii, Planted from seed over 10,000 Tazmanion blue gums & tended through to planting out, & have dreamed of having my own “backyard gardening” business for a long time.
    I’ve never felt I could afford your system, or seen how I could implement it at the time. Now I find myself unemployed, as financially challenged as I’ve ever been, & know this is something I coud make work for me.
    At 62, it’s looking bleak on the employment scene.. but just watch me get to work in my own nursery! This book could be my saving grace! and so, I respectfully throw my sunhat in the ring, & thank you for the opportunity…

    Mike, I would love a copy of your revised version. However, I would just like to say thanks for the opportunity for allowing everyone to participate in this, even if I do not win a copy.

    I cannot say I am any more lucky or any more certain that I should get a copy than anyone else, but in the past year, I have really come to my own in gardening. A year and a half ago, I was at a low point in my life, had become an alcoholic, and had suffered a DWI in the state of Michigan.

    After spending several weeks in a hospital for mental conditions, I was released and in a state of depression. At this time, I started working on my 55 gallon freshwater aquarium stocked with all live plants, which made me want to tinker with live plants outside. Having the desire to pull myself out of my depression, I started gardening at my grandmothers house, to which I extended her shade garden and have henceforth started a sun garden. While I would love to put in many plants, most of mine are transplants from work and from family members to save money.

    I have grown a few plants from seeds and have done some cuttings which I am just happy with. While I have learned alot, I am still learning and would like someday to own my own home so that I could have the room to do everything and anything to my heart’s desire. I read your emails with the utmost respect and look forward to each and everyone.

    I still have not graduated from college and as there are so many things that interest me in life, and horticulture is just one of them. Thank you for all the emails and information, and I wish everyone the best of luck!

I know that I have a pretty yard, but would love to know how to do more, and learn how to combine plants together. I’m also a tree nut, and have a number of vatieties, but, again, I am not sure how to care for them pro[perly, and keep them trimmed so they don’t get out of control. Thank you for all your great tips, but, it’s summer now, and I’m out playing in the dirt,.. now that the heat wave has passed…at least for awhile. Thanks again Mike!!

    I think anyone interested in these types of things would enjoy his newsletter.

    He works really hard to bring you gardening information that you typically won’t find anywhere else.

    Plus, right off the bat, his promised eBook “Free Plants” is sent to you instantly after
    sign-up!

    I believe it’s his sincere goal to provide you with the most common sense gardening information on the web.

    You receive really great info in not only his newsletter but their homemade videos as well…

    With all the extra goodies, info, insights and strategies…you just can’t go wrong…!

    And now, he’s offering to give away three copies of his Brand New Backyard Growing System!…

    This is amazing!!! I’m in for the chance!!!

    Hi Mike, I do not envy the task of deciding who will get the free books (you make propagating plants look easier than this will be). I would like to throw my hat in the ring also. After reading all your emails and seeing what a good ol’ boy (no offense, just respect) could do with plants, I have wanted to do something like this myself. After 24 years of faithful service to my work, I’m being forced out due to a workplace injury. I would love to be able to support my wife and 4 year old kid with my own hands, working with nature. If not, thank you for the opportunity and good day!

It would be wonderful to be able to get a free copy of your new program to read and try new methods. We have terrible soil and have been slowly improving it using your methods. Now we can almost grow things out of beds and pots.

    I love getting your newsletter. I am a new gardener so don’t know very much about gardening. I would love to be considered for your free book as I need lots of help in my garden. The lawn was never treated with anything and I have those horrible white grubs eating my grass. I have pent most of my money on grass seed, soil and fertilizer hoping I can suffocate the little darlings – all to no avail. I even tried those nematodes last year, but instead of eating the grubs, I think the grubs ate the nematodes!!!

I love growing tropical and just plain eye pleasing stocks. I would have dealved into this years (2) ago but was in the process of moving cross country, twice! I am not trying to supplement my current business, but trying to find my dream in the worst of economic regions in the U.S. Period. I’ll take photo’s and share to help promote!

    Dear Mike
    Thanks do much for all the great information you send our way!! I am wanting to retire from my full time job but really don’t have enough savings to do it. I absolutely love gardening and growing plants and my home and yard are testimony to that! So if I follow my bliss and should get one of your free systems I could retire and do what I love and make money doing it!! Hugs to you and yours and thanks again for the opportunity!

    Whether I receive a free copy or not, I am already inspired by all the hatless hippies who have delivered their headwear to the circle you’ve created, and thank each of you for what I’ve got already.

    I would love to propagate plants on a much larger scale. But on a city back-lot of 40×20 I can only enjoy the success of your method on a small scale. I have put out about 60 small plants(burning bush, forsythia, many cedars and blue spruces) for the neighbours to take for free. They disappear overnight. My satisfaction is in the greening of the neighbourhood.

    Would love to have a copy of your new book.

Im now on new med that has improved my life and so Im getting my hands a little dirtier, and loving it. I take cuttings where I can find them, then go to your site to see what I need to do with them. I have wanted your book for “forever”, but when the bills are paid, Im strapped, as I know many are these days. I want very much to see if I can make a backyard nursery. I`ve been collecting free pots,and rooting compound,and I need the sand and soil and oh yes, your backyard growing system. I thank you for all the wonderfull information you give free of charge. YOU opened my eyes to the wonder and magic of the plants around us. And gave me a form of therapy that was good for my mind and body. I would LOVE to be considered for your book. Thanks again.

    Everyone would “love” to have one and I’m no different. Or, am I? I “NEED” one and here’s why. I will be retiring next spring and my wife has had a tough year with our back yard garden. Between a fungus and chipmunks, her tomatoes haven’t had a chance. Even the pole beans are hardly half what they been the last few years. So, for my wife and I, it’s more than a “love to”, it’s a “need to”!

    Thanks a bunch!!

    Mike, I have enjoyed all your videos ,and you give such great advice, I think my favorite was starting seedlings in a plastic pan with pencils stuck in the dirt to hold the plastic bag you put them infrom falling down on the plants. I especially remember that trick. Thanks for all the good advice!

    Hi!
    I would not only love a free copy but it would be put to use immediately. We made a lifestyle change this spring for our family, moving from big house/small lot in the burbs, to rural acreage. So far this year we’ve been growing/selling; rosemary, sage, chives, various cut flowers, windmill palms. We would like to sell more of one or two things that have a better profit margin and less labour intensive.
    I’ll be thrilled to receive a copy!

    Hi Mike… I have thoroughly enjoyed you newsletters, website and ideas.

    My husband and I move to my dad’s property to help dad caregive mom after a stroke in 2001. Shortly after that, my husband passed away from an unexpected short battle with cancer. I then lost my mom in 2005. I stayed on to help my dad with him and his property. My dad has recently passed away in January also. Since then I have lost my job and now on a fixed income. I have to sell my dad’s property and forced to move away from this place I call home and love so dearly.

    I do so love the outdoors and gardening. While living on my dad’s property, I always kept up a small vegetable and flower garden for my dad and myself. Whenever possible before that, I have had a garden with lots of flowers, vegetables and herbs.

    My hope is that you will choose me as one of your recipients of your new Backyard Growing System so once I finally find and settle into my new home, I can start working on supplementing my minimal income with growing and selling plants.

    I am throwing my husband’s hat in the ring, in memory of him.

    Either way, I thank you for all you are doing to educate everyone in backyard growing.

Being a teacher makes us pinch pennies, especially with the economy, I would really like the opportunity to branch out. Please consider me for one of the three backyard growing systems.

    I really would love your book, but it is too far out of reach to pay for. Think of me for one of your books. It would make my year. Gardening for me is soothing. And I need all the calm feelings in my line of work I can get. And someday I would love to start my own nursey.

    Mike, I would like to put my name in for the growing system. I have had to put my nursery on hold due to my work schedule. Just could not fit it in with my 60-80 hour work week, unpredictable schedule, my husband’s frequent hospitalizations and my being the primary bread winner. I am hoping to take early Social Security my next birthday in December, hopefully work part time doing medical transcription, which I do from home, and get started back to raising plants. But four years ago, when my schedule was not quite so hectic, I raised some plants, placed a plant sale sign in my yard and had a tremendous response. Thank you for your inspiration. I am hoping the Lord will open up the doors for me to do what I really want to do.

I can’t seem to get the hang of propagating, either from cuttings or seed, maybe your backyard system can show me where I’m going wrong. Love your newsletter, by the way. Just wish I lived a little farther east; might make growing things a little easier.

He started a lawn care business two summers ago and built a bicycle trailer out of stuff I had laying around which he uses to haul his mower, weed eater, etc around to his jobs. He is quite the businessman. He thinks adding your system to his business will help him expand and increase business.

    There goes my name into the ring. Since the job search is going poorly, I am concentrating on growing as much as I can in my own yard to save money. Your expertise is just what I need to make my garden as productive as possible. I have a few herbs and veggies going, but my thumb is yet to turn green. Your Backyard Growing System would help tremenduously, and free is about all I can afford right now. With all that said, thanks for the opportunity.

    Hi Mike,
    Here’s my hat. I’m still trying to figure out how to grow plants for sale when we live in a Condo. We have some ground around us I can use but it is all in shade so I don’t know how successful it would be. I’ll keep on noodleing it and maybe your info (if I win it!) will give me some ideas.
    Love your newsletter and look forward to each one. Linda from Columbus, Ohio

I will let you use my ‘space’ in your draw. I still love to get your newsletters, as I am mentally still ‘garden’. As far as having missed your ‘Shindig’, believe me, if I were to be allowed to travel again, I will make that trip. But for the next three years, I have been ‘put on ice’.
    Good Luck to all participants.

    a lttle while back you sent around the video about “backstage” of your business (man your wife was so lovely serious). that video has changed our life. the invitation to the seminar following the video 🙂 contained the “million dollar day”phrase which intrigued me. dig-dig-dig (like a true gardener that I became reading your materials) and here we are diving into Internet Marketing Thing. Many Thanks indeed!!!
    As about your regular emails an extraordinary thing happened and keep happening. Every time I have a problem to solve in my little backyard opening your very last message and, magically, in there, is the solution of my task. And it is explained in detail, and it always worked. Many, many thanks.
    A little detail: I am probably one of your first subscribers (since your website was, well, ugly). And the reasons I bought only your book and not the “system” are: 1) money; 2) living in Alberta, Canada (yeah, that’s zone 2 of hardiness!). But I am dying of curiosity (like the cat) to get into the so famous secret technology you developed!
    Thank you for all your help and please keep yourself healthy and active for all of us, your admirers!

    Hello Mike great to hear of your new book and DVD collection. I wish you the best success. I have been reading your emails on plant techniques and very much enjoy the videos. I am a monk living in the ashram of my Guru in North Carolina and before that in Northern California. My life has always revolved around plants and I am currently farming at our location near the ashram. I have long dreamed of the back yard growing system as a viable source of income for our non profit religious group. Taking a vow of poverty I have very limited funds but I would love to have a copy of the new system. Either way I hope I will be able to get a copy to begin the joy of back yard growing. -Daniel

    Hey, Mike, you certainly have gotten me excited about plant propagation techniques. I told a buddy of mine about it, and he immediately asked me if I would start with Gardenia Cuttings. He wants 6 – 8 for his yard, and so began another addition to my already busy schedules. I am using my screened-in front porch, and already ran out of room, so I have pulled back a little. Gardenias, Camellias, Roses, Magnolias, and Hydrangeas. You certainly have a unique down-to-earth way of getting ideas across, especially with your own hands-on demos of your techniques. My Mini-Greenhouses are inverted 56 Quart Clear Totes. Boy, do they work great. Thank you so much for helping me use up more of the time that I really need to use to be doing other things. By the way, I live in a Town, and don’t have a lot of room to do much in my back yard. Must have been beach frontage here several hundred years ago. The soil gets dry, really dry, within several hours after a major Rain and Thunderstorm move through. Have a great day, and continue with your great efforts. I look forward to your weekly E-Mail alerts. May God Bless You and your Family always.

    I was going to keep my hat until I watched your video on Harry Lauders walking stick. Two years ago I purchased a plant at a garage sale because I like unusual and cheap. I haven’t been able to find out what it is. No one seems to know. It has a leaf similar to a geranium, has white blotches near the edges but the main stem or trunk is like the walking sticks you show in your video. Maybe I’m closer to knowing what it is just because I take the time to check out the newsletters you send me. Even if I don’t get the book thanks for this info very much. Jackie.

    I have been following your emails for years and always look forward to reading them..I have an ideal rural house and have probably 2 acres to use. I am recently retired and would like to start a growing program here to utilize my property and provide plants for the retail market.
    My hat size is a 71/2 if that helps!

    To start with I love your emails . I wait can’t wait till they come . Like a little kid waiting for the mailman to come. Usually every other day , but sometimes a little longer in between. ( please excuse the spelling and gramer I am sitting here in the garden with my rooster on my lap and he is trying to help type LOL ) when your emails don’t come when expected I always check the spam to make sure they didn’t land there . The advice and information is just great. I would love to get a free copy of your program . I’m living in Germany but from N.C. I was wanting to buy you other program to read through . Not sure when it would pass here or not , But wanted to check it out to see if it is something for my brother. Who is trying to start a pick you operation for when he retires. Small plants and field grown plants would be better and more reliable than blueberries in my opinion . So I actually want 2 programs one for me to read through and use what I can here in Germany , and the second one for my brother so he could get a good base started of something when he retires. So I would love one of the first 3 copies . Then I could buy the second copy for him. LOL and don’t let where I live effect your decision on me getting a copy 🙂 because you can send it to North Carolina for I’m there 2 times a year. I am also self employed so I know the hard work that goes. Into a project and would never use one of your programs for 2 people Thanks Kenny. Berlin Germay

    Hi Mike,
    My wife and I live on four acres, so we’ve got plenty of space to grow a lot of “backyard” plants.
    Japanese Maples are my big weakness. I’ve never met one I didn’t like. In fact, I love ’em all. And we’ve got several varieties planted around our “estate.”
    I really enjoy reading your growing tips (and watching your videos).

I’ve always enjoyed seeing plants grow but my job in teaching barely gave me time to admire the trees and flowers in my home. I want to be a student again, and I you strike me as an ideal teacher, committed to helping others, and above all unselfish to share your knowledge.

Though my life has been changed forever, gardening has sustained me and will remain one of my passions. You have not only made it possible to continue even on a budget but to even make money and maybe one day make a livelyhood out of it. Many Thanks. Bless you and your family. Sincerely Rina.

    Yes!! sign me up for a chance at your new book. I am really “new” at this and have more questions than you can believe and with the dry weather really have missed out on a lot of starting my own plants. I have about 30 burning bushes and many spireas–you tell me I have the possiblity of thousands of starts but they are really drying up. Will definitely be smarter next year. Have a blessed day.

    Hi Mike –

    I am officially tossing in our hats!! I’ve followed your information for about a year and just love it. Until my arthritis became more of a challenge, I always had a full vegetable garden every season. I’d love to be able to do more, but at this point I have very limited mobility. My husband has just lost his job after almost 25 years – so I’m hoping we can start a little planting business and make a living from home. We could sincerely use a copy of this wonderful book – it could help us get started in a little business of our own. I’m good on the computer and have always wanted to start a blog – but have lacked a topic – perhaps this could be it! Here’s hoping that we get the opportunity to get to know you better!

My income (retirement & SS) barely covers our essentials; nothing left over. My son and I changed a calechi (sp?) and clay yard into almost a garden paradise. Could not complete due to lack of funds, not space. With your system We can put our garden to work not only supplying vegetables, fruit and herbs, but also an income.

    Sure… I’d LUV a gift copy of your book… been implementing your ideas here and there on a trial basis the past few years.

    I’m currently checking out the agriculture selling laws in my state to see what’s allowed. Ditto for online sales.

    My first plant starts from cuttings are rooting in pots right now.

    I also have about 1000 Norway spruces – from 6 to 36″ high I’d like to find out how to sell. They are self started on my mountainside in New York state at the edge of the forest. Would appreciate if you could give me a lead on that – even if I don’t win your gift copy of your book.

    Many of my friends have been turned on to your site (by me 🙂 – including my brother who is a serious gardening fan…. has his own greenhouse now 🙂

So far the hanging baskets are a big seller in the summer in NC, but not what I want to produce. What do you have to say about all the plants that compete at a low price at big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot? Is that addressed in your course? I have lots of questions, and want to throw my hat in the ring. Thanks, Margo

    I am so glad I found you. I’m an avid gardener and have been since I started in the garden with my dad, picking rocks out and into the wheel barrow. I learned what a great feeling it was to see our garden grow and what it produced. I have worked in our garden or have had a garden ever since. I am 56 now. I try to pick the best seeds every year and always win lots of ribbons and special awards at the fairs. I am very organic and hate to use pesticides, so do it naturally with plants such as marigolds, etc. I use natural fertilizer, my rabbits’ manure. I have always wanted a nursery but have never had the money being a single hard working mom for the last 16 yrs. I really enjoy all your tips! They have helped me tremendously. I’ve planted blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries this year. I just love being in my gardens. The smell of the earth, the gentle breeze, the birds singing and the sun on my face just makes me feel a part of the whole grand theme. Thank you for all you do to help others, Mike!

    I’ll toss my hat in the ring. I’ve been building raised beds with screened covers for growing strawberries, blueberries & raspberries, and have a “nursery” section for small trees that sprout up around our apartment, 4 vegetable garden areas, and a growing shade garden. Plus a citrus grove on our front porch of potted grapefruit, lemon & orange trees from seeds. If we don’t eat or can it I’d like to sell the excess to help recoup some of the material investment, and expand even more. It’s a jungle out there!

I keep messing with the idea of plunging into the garden business full time and have tried many of your instructions to see if I’m cut out for it. Some aspects are expensive, such as greenhouses, and can get a little overwelming at my age. Never was one to think small but I enjoy the work. Your new book might push me off the fence. Enjoy your laid-back approach to planting.

    My husband, Dave, and I are both 71 years old, retired, active church leaders, but are looking to grow more of our own food. We have a small backyard with half of it shaded. We could use the other half for raised garden beds, gardening in containers, or a mixture of whatever. What I’ve seen in your emails looks like what we would like to do. We volunteered in our small town community garden some this summer, but the heat and drought caused the garden to wither much earlier than ever.

    Please consider us for the copy of your Backyard Gardening concept.

    Thanks.

I think you have covered all the bases with this new program. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for all your efforts to make us a success at Backyard Nurseries.

There are a lot of expenses in getting our new life started. A free guide will be most welcome. I hope you choose me. Thank you.
