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?
This portends to be an extremely useful resource for growers.
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.
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 :).
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
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.
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!
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?
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
I always have been trying to take care of my family and never had the extra money that I’ve always dreamed up to get started in my own backyard garden would love totally love to win this
As an old nurseryman and landscaper, I am enjoying you newsletter and comments that you make. Glade to hear that you will be keeping up the newsletter and giving out information that is hard to find or get from the pro’s
best luck
Bob
Hey, Mike!
Been following you for a while. My wife and I run a IT repair business – Austad Computing. If you or your followers need IT repair done w/FREE estimates visit our site or shoot me an email!
I am interested in starting the backyard business as a sideline. Any direction you could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Frank Austad
i don’t often leave comments but i watch all your videos and read all your posts and i would love to try out your system and yours is the only system i would gladly pay money for because yours is real not some pie in the sky git rich quick crap
PS thanks for the grate info
i’m starting a new raised garden. do I have to remove the grass or can I just use round up to kill the grass. it is march I will not be planting until may. or do I have to remove the grass
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!
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.!!
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.
Tinia Petty
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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!!!!
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!
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!
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!
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
Viewed Mike’s videos here in Cornwall U.K. on taking cuttings,good to see other peoples techniques. I will certainly try out his methods
Thanks for giving out the know how of gardening to new beginners like me.
God Bless you and your son. thanks
HOW MUCH IS THE NEW SYSTEM
Mike, Count me in. Been following your suggestions for several years now, but haven’t tried the BG System yet, as I’ve been too busy at work. I’d love to give it a whirl.
Blessings.
I’ll turn 65 years old September 30th. I’m entering a new season of life and would like to learn something new that can bring blessings to others.
I have heard good things about this system, I would love to try for free!
I Have been unemployed for a while {I am older and no one is hiring around here} I have been receiving your newsletter and Ive learned alot from your gardening videos. This looks like some thing I could do. So toss my hat in for the drawing for your new system. Thanks
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. I’ve been sitting for the better part of the last 3 days watching and reading your informative gardening tips. Can’t wait to get started on filling my yard with Rose of Sharon and Japanese Maples. Please consider me in your DRAWING. It would be like Christmas in September!
My wife managed to grow Heirloom tomatoes and peppers in this drought. Consider us in.
Thank you very much for your newsletter and Ive learned alot from your gardening tips and I refer to the ebook all the time. I would love to have my hat thrown in for the drawing for your new system along with receiving more information about it when it becomes available. Thanks again for all the information you have provided me with and Im so grateful to have found your site.
I look forward to your newsletter and videos. I am trying the system on blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pears, apples and roses. I can’t wait until spring to see the results. Keep the newsletters and videos coming. Thanks.
i would love to get a free copy .. i now have more time to be able to garden
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
Mike,
I like your articles on plants and the projects you do on your site plus the time you take to show and explain in your videos. I would like to recieve a copy of your new book and the DVD’s. So I’m throwing my Hat in the Ring to win this valuable project guide.
Hi Mr. McGroarty-
I am homeschooling my 3 children (11yo, 9yo and 6yo) and we were hoping to use your Backyard Growing Systems as part of our curriculum for the study of botany and small business for our school year! I hope your new products come out soon- we’re just finishing our 1st week of school and I can’t wait to get going on our botany class! Thanks for inspiring us!
I hope I’m not too late to enter for the giveaway. My daughter and I would love to recieve one of your backyard systems. We’re new to backyard gardens but we’re very excited.
Looking forward to learning more about the new products!
A free system would be GREAT…thanks for the opportunity!!
I am very excited to get a copy of the new program, I have acres of good land in the middle of nowhere, Montana, and it would be a wonderful way to earn some extra money and work with my family. Teaching my children to farm, and be self sufficient is very close to my heart. Your website and words inspired my wife and I to get your program, please let us know when we can buy one.
I wait for you tips on gardening, Thought i mite get lucky with my name in the hat. Thanks for all your help anyway, even if i dont win.
I’d like toe cosidered for the free system.
Thank you so much for all the helpful info you have made available. I love to garden and try different ways to get plants started. I recently air layered a Brugmansia 😀 Thank you again
Can’t wait to get my hands on your new system! I am trying to get a small homestead set up and all of your emails and videos have helped me tremendously! Keep up the good work, Mike!!
please enter my wife and I to your contest we would enjoy it very much
Sweetgrass Farm in south middle Tennessee seems a perfect location for a backyard nursery operation. And recent unemployement gives me the prime opportunity and time! Anxiously awaiting release of the new system.
Mike, Thanks for this offer and I’d like to throw my name into the drawing pool. You have changed the way I look at plants and making some extra money.
Dear Mike,I bought The Gardener’s Secret
Handbook sometime ago.It’s wonderful.I live in
South Brazil where maples grows very well.I’m
trying your methods and I will communicate you my results.I really would like to win!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you.
LUiz G.R. Santos
would love to win.
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.
Mike – Pick me, pick me! Love your emails and would be so proud to win.
Looking forward to your new book and dvd.
I will throw a ten gallon hat into the ring if it will help with my chances! As always good reading.
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!
Macedonia awaiting your book…..
I am hoping to buy this soon! Very excited for it!
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 don’t understand: “comment awaiting moderation”?
You are inspiring and a gift without any giveaways …but I’m glad to put my hat and dirty gloves in the ring just the same. Thanks!
Consider my hat tossed … hopefully my bald top won’t get sunburnt!!
I’m a divorced mom looking for a way to make money…with a 14-year old tomboy daughter who likes to get her hands dirty! We have a 1.75 acre lot that is ready for action! Pick us and we’ll be a success story for you! Thanks, Mike for all the great free info you have provided. Hugs from Deb and Erin!
===Thanks Mike, for your wonderful tips and advice! I love watching your videos…and learning new gardening techniques…
I would like to put my name in the hat. I would like get a brand spanking new copy as well.
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.
I would appreciate the opportunity to have your back yard growing system
I love plants! Can’t wait for the opportunity to have your new book. Please toss my hat in the ring too! God Bless!
I love plants! It is my hobby based on my passion. Can’t wait for the opportunity to have your new book. Please toss my hat in the ring too! God Bless!
I am on disability (cognitive difficulties due to M.S,) I Love love love to garden and would love to have this system so I could further pursue my passion and be able to share my love of plants and gardening with all my friends!!
Toss my hat in,I’ve been with you a while and following your great ideas,and great expertise,for me and all the people that you have helped,, with their Gardens and their yards,with your great advice.Thank you !!!
When is your system going to be ready????????????
Mike Smith

I would love the new version. I am a member of the “Backyard Growers Club” and love all the advice, tips and tricks. Thanks!
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.
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!
Gareth
I am throwing my hat in the ring. Please pick me. You have been an encouragement to me on growing plants. I am no wheres an expert at it and need all the help I can get. I have been laid off for 1 & 1/2 years now and need all the extra income I can get.
Thank You Mike
I am an Immigrant who started life in new country. Was looking in Internet for some ideas how to make money with what you love. I found your site. Mike your idea is brilliant for me. I already make some money selling my plants, but I want to go further. Very interested in your growing system!
Thanks
Jenia
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!
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.
Throw my name into the hat, please 🙂
Hi Mike,
Would love to try your new system out here in Fl. Thank you for all the great information, I look forward to getting your emails.
Looking forward to your new system. Thank you for all the tips and advises.
Help and old woman bring healthy, new life into her world.
Please toss my hat into the ring! Thanks MIKE!
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.
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!
Wow, that sounds like a great opportunity! I would love to be considered for the giveaway!
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.
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.
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
Hat has been thrown.
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.
You have shown us outstanding things. How to get better at what we love to do! Keep up the great work and thanks again!!
thank god
i sure could use one to work my way out of my job thanks greg
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.
Hi Mike, I’m “tossing my hat in the ring”!! Thank you for all the helpful information you continually pass on to all of us! You are appreciated.
Make my thumbs green!
I would love to have a copy of your new gardening book
Thanks for the opportunity! I would love to learn more with your growing system.
Wow! How did I miss this email? I would really like to be considered for this if it is not too late…Thanks either way, your information is awesome!
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!
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.
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!
Mike, your growing system sounds amazing!
Please enter me in the drawing for a free copy!
The rooting in sand idea really works.You have a great site and it would be wonderful if I could get 1 of those free books.
Hi Mike
L have followed you for several years but could not do very much in the apartment we were in. Now as I reach the time to retire I actually have a yard to play in and would love to make use of your system.
Ralph
I have been receiving e-mails from you for years and have kept every one of them! I would sincerely love to be included as one of the winners of your systems. Thank you for giving me the chance!

Thanks, Bob
I really enjoy your postings, keep it up.
Thanks,

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.
Would love to get your new system .We have many flower beds and gardens I am always looking for ways to improve.

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.)
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.
David
I would love to add this to my library! I’m just getting started with your system and any new information would be wonderful!
Tossing my ring in
Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Mike, you are doing a wonderful job. I must compliment you and Dustin for the well-illustrated information you publish. I have used it since I have been receiving it and it works. My garden and flowers are flourishing and beautiful, not to mention producing babies and fruit and vegetables. Thank you so much for contacting me. Please keep them coming!
Toss my bonnet in the ring
I have followed your posts for a few years now and I love your ideas. I am looking for a way to continue to stay at home and raise the kids and this seems so perfect. Please put my name in for your new system book.

Hi Mike from Nanaimo (Vancouver Island), BC. You’re the best “stumble” I’ve come across in eons. Have a Rose of Sharon that really needs help and found you “surfing”. Thank heavens for you. Bookmarked you and shall return many times I’m sure. Great to meet you, Anne
I look forward to reading your e-mails and watching the informative videos you post. Thanks for the chance to win the the new backyard growing system. Thanks, Leslie

This sounds Great! I have been a backyard grower that just has some fun, but in the back of my mind I keep saying there is so much more out there. So count me in.
You have an abundance of knowledge which you share every week. Thank you for everything you have taught me. You are creative and it’s easy to see why you are successful. David.
I am tossing my hat into the ring for one of those new Backyard Growing Systems! It would be fabulous to get this.
I would love to get this, however I have no money, no income, and it seems hopeless,so many people ahead of me. I have saved alot of your emails- I also read the site. Think of me.
I really appreciate your tips and articles. I want to go into business for myself but still am a little bit unsure…..of myself, I guess.
Thanks
LT
I’d like a shot at the copy.
Am new to gardening and are loving it up to now, unfortunately I cannot get ANY of my cuttings to root and don’t know where I am going wrong, I know your book would be of great help, please include me thanks!!
Mike, Looking forward to your new book whether I win one or buy one.
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.
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.
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.
I would just like to read what you have to say.
My gardens took off in this hot dry summer weather and I have more than I can use.
My sister and I both love reading your emails. Thanks for all your info.
Please consider my hat tossed into the ring. Looking forward to hearing thatI won a copy.
I am throwing my name in the hat.
I’d love to win this too!
Mike,
How awesome would it be to win your new book??? I would love to learn your system.
Angel in Alabama
I would love to try your new system. Everyone tells me I have a green thumb.
Please throw my hat into the ring! Everyone tells me I have a green thumb.
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.
LOVE this site!
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
I would like my hat thrown in too!! Always enjoy your emails, website has great content!! keep up the great work!!
I have been wanting to buy your book but never had the money. Would love to win the system.
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.
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!
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!!!
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!
I would love to get my hands on one of these books 🙂
Thanks!
Sounds like fun. Count me in.
Hi Mike, Brought up on farm. 32 years in factory. Now retired. Would be some thing my young grandson and I could could learn. Would love to have this as I have followed your emails a long time. Dave
I am fascinated by this concept and would love to have a copy of the book. Thanks for offering it as a giveaway!
Thanks for the oppurtunity
Mike:
Our Grandpa (Born 1883)wore the same jeans that you wear, except they were called “Grandpa pants” by all of the 30+ grandkids.
He was an organic rancher, worm raiser and vegetarian,although raised pigs for market and made it to 93.5 years.
Please enter me in your drawing.
Great Growing
I would love to get your book for free!
Hi Mike, this sounds very exciting! I have been reading your gardening emails for awhile now and have saved everyone. I am convinced I can do this with all your help. Just got to get past that fear of not enough time and getting up in age. Keep on, keeping on, almost there!!
Thanks for signing me up for the chance to get a free copy of your new system. My garden needs a change.
Thank you for all your hard work Mike!
I’m look forward to your new production.
I was wondering if you might review some soil testing product for some of us newbies.
Thank you for tossing me in in the Hat 🙂
Thanks, Mike!
Good luck on your new book!
I can use all the help I can get. Thanks
I would love to have it as i sure do not have a green thumb and live on a very limited income [ no money for heat this coming winter thats how bad it is ] . In other words i need all the help i can get , Thanks for sharing with us so many things God Bless .
Thank-you for the opportunity to win one of your your systems!
I just moved from a property that the only topsoil you had was that which was imported. Otherwise it was pure shale, not little either. I would very much like to be added to your list for one of the free Backyard Growing System.
OK, two hats in; PLEASE PICK ME!
Hi Mike,
Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and your love of all things to be planted. You are an inspiration to so many who need a bit of hope in this crazy world. Please consider my hat officially thrown in!
Many thanks and happy growing to all. sue
I’d like to throw my hat in for a free copy.

I have been exploring ways to make my gardening business home based. I would be very grateful for your insight. I truly enjoy your e-mails! Thanks You!
Wow! I am so there! I love your e-mails, suggestions, comments, etc. Would love to be one of the reciepents of your materials. Keep up the good work. It is so nice when knowledgeable people are willing to share. That is what makes the world go round. Thanks!
I enjoy your articles and look forward to your reports on your new adventures.
I look forward to your new books. I love to work outside and this would be a wonderful way to supplement our income.
I would love to get this info!
Mike, I would like to put my hat in the ring! I would LOVE to start the biz! I live in Texas and the drought here (for at least 5 years now) is hard on our plants. Can you tell me if I go your system, would it work out here in the heat and drought? I do have sprinkler systems to keep th eplantrs watered, but it does get so hot and crispy here. Also, what plants are good to grow here??
Mike, thank you so much for all of the helpful tips & knowledge over the years! Your guidance has taken me from my 1st tomato plant to my current vegetable garden & 3 flower beds. I would love to be entered in your drawing! As a new stay at home mom, I’ve started propagating herbs & I’m just getting warmed up!
Your plans and ideas dovetail nicely with my hoop house and homestead garden. Would love to receive copy of your new system.
Winning this would be a blessing for me and my family.
Would love a copy of your new product.
I’ve been trying to start my own plant business but life keeps getting in the way. Now I just got laid off… BIG bummer… so I’d like to be productive and make use of this blessing in disguise. Money is tight so something free is good! I’ve always enjoyed your emails. ( By the way, I just changed my email FROM [email protected] TO [email protected]. Let me be your girl!! I’ll make you proud!
Today I’ve reached 65, never thought would happen, I blinked and here I am without a good retirement. My yard is small but have been reading your e-mails for a while. I truly would like to do with your help. Thank you.
I just know I can do it.
I’d like to be considered for the free Backyard growing system. I am very interested in starting my own business in this field. Thank you soooo much for your consideration! I love reading your emails !!
You’ve sure helped me out a lot with all your great advice. Can’t hardly wait for the new book and sure hope I win!
Thanks so much for everything you give to people and plants.
Would love a chance for your new system. Read all newsletters and watch all videos. Thanks for so much help in the garden. Here’s hoping for a better year in 2013!!
Another hat in the ring!
Bring on the happy! Simply put-growing makes me happy and the world is in a sad state of affairs. So, a fresh approach to making a living and doing something I like would be the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks and keep up the great work that you do!
I have learned a lot from your posts. Admittedly, I need to know a lot more, so please include me in the raffle. Thanks.
I’ll throw my hat in the ring. Courselooks very interesting.
Here’s my hat! Been reading your emails for a while now and have started doing some propagating using plants I already had and taking “clippings”. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks!!!
Sign me up please:)
geez Mike, you are a popular guy…I thought your site was my secret. I would love to be considered for your giveaway!!
Hi,Great News and yes, I would love to win a free copy.
I bought a house, close on Sept. 24th and now I have a yard! I am so stoked! It’s time to propagate!
heres my hat ,thank you
Count me in! I love your material and hope to be the lucky winner. Many thanks.
I just got your email about the chance to win the new money-making system. I recently retired and my husbend retires in December. Our income will drop almost in half. Knowing we will need to do something to supplement the social security, and knowing how much I love plants, this seems a godsent to us. Please pick us!
Hat in…
Hi Mike
New to gardening and growing. Trying to learn as much as possible. Throwing hat in for drawing. Thanks
I would love to have this information – sounds fabulous! Thank you for the opportunity.
This is great news!! I can’t wait to start using your system!
Hi Mike,
Sounds great my hats tossed in, please enter me into the drawing! Thanks!
I’m tossing in my bonnet
Hi Mike.
I would really love to get a copy of your book AND video! I am setting up to start my own little nursery as I will be moving to a rather dry and tree-less area and would just love to do my bit to “tree-up” the surrounds.
Just so you know, I am BIG fan of you and your posts!
Cheers.
No story here, would just like to be a winner.
Hope I’m one of the lucky winners.
I got no weepy story to tell & I’m counting on this whole gig being truly random ~ consider me entered in = I hope this is THE ONE {of 3 of from your generous offer} your stuff looks fascinating & I’d really enjoy owning the cirriculum you speak of …
Would love the system!
Your emails always inspire me in my little one-woman enterprise here. I have always loved to grow things – since I was 3 years old! The deer and gophers give me a real run for my money here in CA!! I have been hoping to have enough money to buy your materials for some time now. Hope I win!!
Hi Mike
I finaly get to write to you,and in the hope that I am in with a chance to win…
From your frinds down under in Australia

Vladan.
I would really appreciate a copy of your new book when it’s available. I’m not sure how or where to begin out here in this AZ desert. Thank you for your consideration, Ben.
Thanks for the chance and greetings

Hi Mike
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,
Jill in Australia
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
YES – Throw my name and or my hat in for a chance. Thanks for the education.
I hope to win. I will help me so much.
Thanks,
Martha
I am the winner, I know I am, it just has to be me.
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”.

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.
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.
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??”
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!
I am having so much fun in my new garden, I would love to try “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home” and donate the profits to others in need. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I just love plants and planting and digging in the dirt. Making money from doing something I actually love to do would just be gravy.
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.
Love all your stuff, Mike and am waiting for my hat to be selected for this awesome package. Pick me. Pick me please.
I would love a copy!!!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE WINNER OF YOUR LATEST WORK “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home”. I will cross my fingers for the luck of the draw. Sandra
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.
I love hearing about local gardening tips.
Include my name in the drawing.
If I don’t win I will buy this product.
I have learned so much from you and would love to learn even more.
Terry Mackie
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.
looking forward to your system…throw my hat in!
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
Computer crashed and I lost all the digital info I had from you. Have cancer and won’t be going back to my old job. Need something I can do at home.

Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for all the emails of sharing your talent,knowledge and advices on gardening. It’s very comforting,relaxing and enjoyable working in the garden. A great way to heal/recover after surgery when you’re working with/near the plants, especially with flowers. Please enter me in the drawing too, wouldn’t mind winning-that will be great!
I’d love to get the book!
Ooops-typo. I meant “what” you’re pfering, not “whay.”
I’ve been reading you emails for over a year now and they have proven very useful so far. Please add me to your list as I will be removing 2 – 40 foot tall locust trees to make room for more garden plots. Thanks for all you do!
I’m not fully clear on whay you’re offering; but I save all your gerdening e-mails. I am interested in starting a small backyard business of this type.
Mike and commentors,
I would first like to say your website is great and I love the emails that I recieve from you. I have learned so much from you guys and look forward to reading every new post as well as the great community responces.
I have started my first two Japanese maples this year and you guys have been very helpful along the way.
Thanks again,
Chris

Recently made a career change to landscaping an im captivated by plants now!

Hi Mike,

I would Love to throw my name in. I appreciate the good info I have found on your website, as apparently other peeps as have also, given especially the Hundreds of names I had to scroll past to post this! 🙂 (Just a thought: maybe set it up so interested people can read the post from You, then register Directly below… In other words, have the most recent names at the top, oldest at the bottom) Looking forward to the new system as believe I’m at a good place in life to give it a shot! 🙂 Thanks again for all you have given us already!
Here’s my hat … did I get it in the ring???

I have been wanting to start a nursery so i can sell at farmers markets and give my clients free plants yearly. looks like i’m way down the list for one of the 3 units but i still wanted to say i love your site and your vids.. thanks
I thought I had my hat in the ring, but I got a reminder email from you, so count me in!

Hi Mike, I have enjoyed learning about the backyard plant business from your website. Thanks for sharing your many years experience.
I like reading your newsletters but what I really enjoy is seeing all the different plants that you bring to into my world.
Please enter my name in this drawing for the book and dvd.I have learned a lot from the bygb and wish to know more.Thanks!
Mike – Consider my hat thrown in with gusto! I’m a lifelong gardener and plant “rescuer” – my latest is a Pitcher Plant too dried up for the nursery to sell. It’s thriving on my fruit flies this summer! I’d love to know how to propagate it, too! Thanks for your support!
I am a recent empty nester and looking for a business to do from our home. I would love to give Mike’s system a try and so I am throwing my garden hat in the ring!
Looking forward to reading your new and improved Backyard Growing System. Keep those emails coming.
Thank you for giving us all this opportunity!
Hi Mike, great advise. I’m looking forward to your next how to post.
Thanks for sharing your knowlage.
Have been thinking of getting your program for a while but when I got ready to actually purchase it, it was no longer for sale. Would love to have a chance to win one of the new sets. Kinda glad I didn’t go ahead and get the old one now. I’ll be watching for an email. Thanks for all your teaching, Mike. I’ve learned a lot already.
My husband and I are retired and living on SS. I would love to improve my gardening hobby skills to the level of being self sufficient and bring in some extra money.
I love your newsletters and your videos. I wait to see your name in my inbox and delete almost everything else. Your advise is worth it’s weight in gold and I love to hear your tips and tricks.
Good luck with your new book and CD’s.
Thank-you for the great opportunity! I’m throwing my hat waaayyy in!!
Hey there Mike.
I don’t wear a hat, but I’d consider it if it would help me get a free copy of your Backyard Growing System. The wife and I are planning on moving onto our 16 acres in southern Virginia, in the spring. It’d make a great place to start using your new system.
Thanks Mike!
freebie me
if you please!

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 was born to do this. With green coursing through my veins, I just need some guidance to put it all together. Your system sounds unbelievable, and I’m proud just to receive your free info. West TN is ready for this. Let’s get our grow on!
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.
Hi Mike
I have been following you for awhile now and have been trying some of the things you have shown in your videos. Particularly rooting cuttings. So far so good. I would love to win one of the three new systems. (Just like everyone else here LOL)
I’m throwing my hat in the ring for a free copy of your new growing system.
Hi, Mike ~ Sounds GREAT, please enter me into the drawing ! Thanks !
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.
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.
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

Hi Mike,
I would love to get my hands on a copy of your new book and DVD’s.
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.
Well – it appears to be a bit bigger than a 3 ring circus by now, but get my hat in there for the new, bigger, better, improved, refined, and even more better system!
Mike I have been using your tips & following your site for a couple years, it is always full of great stuff, I would love to throw my hat in & be one of the 3 lucky winners. Thank you for all your great advice.

I have enjoyed your emails and your advice. One of my grape vines died and last year I saw your video on starting new vines from cuttings so when I trimmed my grape vines I trimmed 15 vines as you recommended and just stuck them in the ground and now I will transplant 12 of them this winter. I only needed one so I will be selling the others. Thank you Mike for all you do.
Mike,
Many thanks for all the great info. you so generously provide for us.
I don’t have a hat so I’m throwing in a sock!
Love your newsletters – great info.

an aging mechanic that needs to find a different way to make money,I love the outdoors

Hi Mike,
I have been dabbling with seed propagation for a while, and would Like to try my hand with cuttings. I really enjoy your E-mails with all sorts of info. I have never won anything in my 8o years on this good Earth, so I’ll wait to see how much your new system costs to see if I can afford one.

Dear: Mike I need a new way to make money
I am thinking about selling plants. A man that I buy feed from sells retail and he said that If I started my greenhouse he would buy from me if I was competitive in price. I need help starting off. Bob L.
Mike –
It would be great to be picked to receive a copy of your dvd and book. If not, well, guess you’ll have me for a customer.
Hi Mike (and Dustin) – Just a few lines to thank you both for all the wonderful info you have sent my way. I would love a copy of your new book. I am retired and more time than anything else, so I would love to add to my yard and let it look like I know what I am doing.
Hey Mike!
Great job! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful gardening information.
I am looking forward to your new book and DVD.
Thanks much!
Deb
I would like to place my name in the hat. Due to health reasons, I am unable to continue working at a normal job & this could be a great opportunity for me to learn how bring money in to help pay the bills. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
Keep up the good work, Mike!
I would Love to have this. Thank you for all the great advice!
You are doing a lot of good — thank you for that! And here’s my “hat!”
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.
Love the advice you give. You keep it simple for non-experts to understand. You inspire me to keep trying new things.
I love all the information on propagating you offer online. I’m a Master Gardener for my county, and I marvel at how clear you make complicated techniques!
Your emails have been tempting me for a while; work is difficult to come by, and the idea of selling plants from home has been on my mind for almost two years. Just worried about access to water. Thanks for your consideration!
My hat is in the ring. I love doing this stuff anyway. May as well make money at it!
Have been following your emails for quite some time now, and am just waiting to get my own place to try your methods. Would so love to get the chance! Hopefully soon…!
Please put my hat in the ring.
Have studied and used your original system for years (with great success), really looking forward to the new information. All your infor is GOLD.
You can have my old gardening hat——need a new one any way.
Mike i have been a fan of yours for quite some time now and have used alot of your ideas it would be very interesting to see what your new progect being your new book will bring for me.
I’m 84 years old and still somewhat active. I need something more to keep me in coffee and doughnuts. My wife says I’m nuts anyways. But your backyard gardening sounds like something that will keep me active.A copy of your book would get me started. Howard
I want this so bad! I love to get dirty and plant things. I love to watch the plants grow and feel the wonderful accomplishment of live and healthy beautiful plants!
I love getting your e-mails, the tips you give and your video’s are great.You have alot of wonderful ideas,and very informative. It’s so nice to be able to go out in my garden and think of all the things I have learned every week in your e-mails. Would love to have a copy of your New Backyard Growing System.
Thanks for your information & videos. I have just put some Japanese Maple seeds in the refrigerator. I know it’s not 90 days before they can go into the ground but if I see germination I will have time to plant them in small pots to begin their growth. I hope this might be something you might find workable.
I would love to get a copy of your new book.
I’ve been following your comments and videos for a time. Please throw my hat into the ring.
Zane
Mike,
I moved here, just NW of Detroit, four years ago from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I’m having a blast starting over on my home landscaping and adjusting to the change in climate. Please put my name on your growing list of gardeners interested in your offer.
Thank you,
Dale
Hello Mike! I purchased your backyard growing system over a year ago, but the computer it was saved to crashed, and I don’t still have a copy. So if I could get a new copy, that would be fantastic!! Thanks for all your email tips and great ideas!! I will be selling plants soon, once this hot, dry summer is over! Best wishes to you and your family, and thanks again!!
Sincerely,
Banks W.
Mike,
I would love to receive your new growing system.

Would love to learn you system, i will be retireing soon and winning your new system would be great. Tom L
Small Plants, Big Profits from Home-Sounds exactly like what I need-“Big Profits”. No doubt you have the method down and I would do well to know what you know.
Hi Mike.. really would love to win a copy of your new book. An old retired bitty like me, who loves to play in the dirt, needs all the help she can get..(including getting up and down!!)
Thanks Mike,
Nancy B.
Sure Free is good.
I would absolutely love to win this. Have always wanted to do something like it but never really knew how to get started. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Well It tookme6 months to save up foryour system and now I see you have none availible
so heres my hat, lets see where it lands,maybe it will sprout.:)
I very much enjoy your e-mails. My wife and I have been growing and selling vegetable plants from seed for years. Last year we planted 11,000 tomato seeds. Hanover county VA.,where we live produces the very BEST tomatoes on earth ( I’ll bet this gets lots of comments). I wish I could get all of your information in book form. Keep up the good work. John
Please toss my name in the hat. I would be interested in trying this. I’m about to retire and I need a project.
Mike I would love a copy of your program. I have wanted one for so long now but have not been able to afford. Now this chance comes at a time when I must now have a job I can do from home due to health issues. I need to find a way to help my husband support our family. We have 7 acres in the country so have plenty of room to find something to use it for to help make an income. So please keep us in mind for the drawing. Thanks for your newsletter.
If you pick me,, I will drive all the way to your place to give you a big hug! I promise!!
As a teacher and avid gardener I would like to have your new system. Let me know how much it is. I enjoy teaching my students and the local community about plants and more.
Enjoy your group-happy hardening.
Please add my name to the hat for the free copy of the Backyard Growing System.
I thought it said “Small PANTS, Big Profits”. Thank goodness it didn’t. Thanks for all your tips Mike.
Rod
Mike
I would be so thrilled to receive a gift from you. I love your website and especially enjoy it when it’s raining or snowing. A great way to dream about spring and summer in the garden! My hubby has teased me with the idea of a new greenhouse in the spring and your book would be a great compliment.
Hey Mike
Please put my name in the drawing
Thanks
Please add me in the drawing.
Please put my husbands name ( Bryon ) in the hat for
your book on the backyard growing system.
He enjoys everything you write and wants to give this a go.
Thanks,
jenny
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.
Please add my name to the drawing pool.
Hi Mike!
I’ve enjoyed reading your web and email posts for a number of months now. I would love to get the book so I can expand my knowledge! Keep up the work!
I am retired and would love a copy of your background growing system.
I would love to have the Backyard Growing System!
Hey Mike, I would love have a copy of your new book.
I have wanted one of your systems for sooo long but never seem to have enough money extra to buy one. I would absolutely love to have this system. Thanks for the chance.
Mike, I would love to try your system. Right now I’m unemployed and looking for anything feasible to make money. I’m struggling to find a full time job, so your system is something I’d like to try during my job search and I’m sure after.
Many thanks for the past info you’ve posted.
I’m retired and like to grow things
I’ve learned SO much from you since I started reading you! I would love to learn even more on how to get the empty 1/4 acre dirt lot on the property we just moved into to bloom and turn into a growing plot of land!
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!
I am certain that you have outdone yourself again.
Maria
Thank you for shareing you gardening and nursery skills.I am sure your new books will be a treasure to those who buy it! Please enter me in the drawing.
will be retiring soon and this would be a good hobby to start

THANK for your help we just got started with your email we love your handbook but my name in
Thank you for the opportunity to receive “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home” and the new DVD on plant propagation. I’d like to get this as a gift for my husband. I’d like to have us start doing this as a way to supplement our income which otherwise will decrease when he retires.
I look forward to your emails and find them very educational. Keep up the great work. You are appreciated.
I live in North Florida and don’t know what plants you mention will grow in this “Rich” sand that they call dirt. I would like to receive one of your systems to see what I can do. I enjoy your newsletters.
I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEW BOOK, WHICH I’M SURE WILL HELP ME GROW MORE AND BETTER PLANTS.
Hi Mike, I check my E-Mail every day with great expectations of receiving your news letter even though I know it only comes out weekly. I love what you do and have your program in mind for when I retire in 5-7 years. I need to get started!!
Hi Mike, I check my E-Mail every day with great expectations of receiving your news letter even though I know it only comes out weekly. I love what you do and have your program in mind for when I retire in 5-7 years. I need to get started!!
Mike Thanks for all of the great info you continue to share. It is really remarkable that you are so forthcoming with your information and time!
I can’t wait for the new addition to come out. I have been putting off buying the book for absolutely no good reason but always saying I need to get it. Maybe this will be the right time!
Just retired – will have time and energy to apply – would appreciated being included in the fabulous drawing offer!
Thanks so much!!
Hi,
I would love to win this new system and get growing and selling. Thanks
I would so love to win your new book and planting system. Thank you for all the great gardening info and the opportunity to win.
I hope the new book has an old looking cover like the picture for your e-book
Been propagating cuttings on a small scale for fun and give away. With retirement looming (28+ years military) would love to find out how to make some money doing it. Thanks for all the good info!!
I would love to have the book. I get your emails regularly about buying your system which I would love to have except I am on a fixed income and not able to purchase it.
Thanks for giving everyone a chance at winning the book. It would certainly be a Blessing!!
Please pick me!
Hey Mike,
Pick me too, too, toooooooooo! I just love what you are doing inspiring so many of us. I live in California and want to start making a living doing what you do! I’ve been out of work for awhile and want to see what I can do to be successful just like YOU!
I can’t wait to try some propagation techniques on some unusual plants, seeds, or scraps I pick up from large box store scrap piles.
Hi, Mike! I have been receiving your newsletters for a good while now and always enjoy them! I would appreciate having an entry for your drawing!
HI MIke,
I have been following your emails, writing and videos for a couple years now and would appreciate putting my name in the hat for one of the free copies of the backyard growing system.

Mike Nichols – Hobbs, NM

I am throwing my hat in Mike. Hope I get picked. If not whats the price of the new system?
Hi – Yes, please enter my name in the drawing for a free copy. If I’m not drawn, please provide information on purchase of publications.
Thanks.
Hello Mike. I would also love to throw my hat into the ring. I have been following you so long I had to create my own Mike McGroarty folder to collect all you e-newsletter. All my friens ask me to check your folder when they need some help.
Thanks, you are doing a super job.
How does this work for us Florida folks? It’s hot and then HOTTER!
Also, would like to get your mixture for making your own potting soil.
I enjoy all your info. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks!
Hi Mike,
I can’t thank you enough for all the free info you offered at no cost already. I’ll gladly pay for a copy the New Backyard Growing System as soon as it is available as a way of saying thanks. Thanks for the opportunity to learn and interact, and best of luck on the new book.
Thank you for all your informative emils over the years!
Jumping up and down…..
Me, Me, Me …. please pick Me!
(for the free copy 🙂
Thanks for all your fantastic info, Mike!! Looking forward to the new version – here’s my hat too!!
Count me in!
Been following you since 2004! Love to get my hands on a copy of your new publication. Looking forward to all your new tips and tricks for us all.
Add my name to the pool also.
Thanks, Nelson
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.
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?
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.
I’d be more than happy to get a book!
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.
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.
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.
Is there anybody in or around Columbia SC that is a member of Mike’s Backyard Grow System?
Drop me a line if so, [email protected]
Please put my name in to get new stuff.
Hi Mike! This is an awesome opportunity for 3 lucky winners and very generous of you. I am a newly retired empty nester. I have wanted to get your system because I really enjoy your news letters and all of your helpful tips. This might be my great opportunity! Thank you for your newsletter and all your great advice! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Ken
I would love a copy of your new book
PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME!!!!!!! 🙂
I know your new book and DVD will be fantastic.
Thanks Mike
PS is it September yet? HA HA

My mom and I are wanting to start a plant business, this would be a great help to us. Thanks for the chance, we love your videos.
I have a very small lot, but I am willing to dedicate 85% of it to grow small plants!!! Pick me! Pick me!
Thank you for all the helpful information you’ve sent my way over the years and for this offer, Mike. I love to grow all types of plants from seeds and would enjoy doing it on a full-time basis from my home!
Happy planting!
Alicia
Hi. Love to get another one of your books. Keep up the good work. Very informative and I always look forward to your tips. Thanks.
I live in Texas and love to grow plants…my sister sometimes brings me plants that are dying so I can revive them back to their prior splendid greenery.
Hope I’m one of the lucky ones!
Thanks for all your advice
Sylvia
Mike,
Please consider my straw garden hat to be “tossed”.

Atlanta, Georgia USA
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!
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.
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.
Would love to win your system and get started on a road to true sustainability. Thanks for doing what you do and for making this generous offer!
Thanks for all of the great information regarding your “Back Yard Nursery”.
I have used many of your tips this summer and have been very successful. Please throw my name in the hat for your new course
hey Mike
Tossing my hat in the ring again – not sure if my first post was received.
I have been following your on line instructions, tips I find them very informative – and would like to receive a copy of your new growing system. Your information is easy to understand and follow – whether one is a new gardner or have been gardening for years – there is something for all gardeners. Good Luck with your new growing system
Gloria in Brooklyn
If you select me, I’ll be one of the first (or few), to use your entire system in a third world country! My husband and I bought a 50 acre farm in Costa Rica and plan to turn it into a nursery specializing in plants you can’t find here.
hugs
hey mike!
love to use your new book!!!
Unemployed and at 58, not likely to be. Thank God hubby is retired Navy. Enjoy your emails and helpful videos. Would love a chance to win the free system.

Mike,
I’d love to be considered for your drawing. I have 2 acres of land and currently have a large organic vegetable garden which I plant and tend to along with my 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter.
I’d love to learn your system and hopefully take the opportunity to earn some extra income working at home so I can spend less time working at work. My version of the American Dream I guess. Anyhow, thanks for the consideration and I love your e-mails.
I LOVE propagating plants. Each May I have my own little sale and have increased my profits each year. I’d love to make it more of a business and do it much more frequently. I’d be quite interested in your book. And keep those videos coming – they are not only informative – but entertaining as well. 🙂
I really want to get your system and I hope this opportunity will assist me get it. Just preparing to receive and use it.
Comment.
Sounds good- I’ve been wanting this for awhile now- looking forward to seeing the new version 🙂
I would be thrilled to bits Mike to win one of your new editions’ so to speak. I am in the stages of setting up a school gardening club for Yr 1 to Yr 6, with some lovely staff, & may I say a bunch of the most enthusiastic children you could want to work with. We only started the club 2 yrs ago, and they love it. 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 would love to use your new matls.for homeschooling my grandaughter.I want to teach them the right way
Plz.put my name in the running.Thx.Mike
Thanks for the weekly newsletter and tips. I am currently looking at my backyard, a two-acre lot and a 10-acre piece of land in the country to start my farming business. I’d love to get a free copy of your new products. Choose me!
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!
Please put my name in the drawing. Thank You!
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 Mike!
We (Dustin and our son, Miles) would love to be in the running to win one of your freebies. I’ve fantasized about being one of your backyard growers for a long time, and as we’ve just bought our first house, I think it’s about time to take the leap!
Thanks,
Lea
Your videos are always so informative. Quite intrigued with cuttings and extra income from something I enjoy doing would be great. Thrilled for the chance at a copy of your newest Backyard Growing System!!!
Mike, I don’t know how I came across your website, but, I’m sure glad I did. I have learned quite a bit from your postings and videos. Now, I’m throwing my name in with the rest of your fans for your new book.
Have been trying to find work for 3 years! Not complaining as others are in lots worse shape. I like to garden, could use some income and want to help a local animal refuge http://www.rikkisrefuge.org. You program would help feed me and my family as well as left overs for the refuge.
Thanks for the great emails and all your work to teach/help us.
I’m very happy to throw my hat in the ring. I love growing things and enjoy all of your emails and videos. Thanks for sending them.
Hi Mike:
Love the emails. Please throw my hat in the ring!
David

I have been gardening since my mid 20’s ( now almost 60) and have been reading your newsletter for many years. I have really enjoyed them and thanks for the tips! I lost my job in 09 and have been looking for another since. I really want to do something I love this time around and gardening is it. I have wanted to buy your Backyard Growing System since I first saw it but with 4 kids to raise never had the money and now I have no job but do have the tools to start my gardens!
Mike & Family, I’m coming up on 72 and luv my gardens. I’m sharing perennials with my neighbors. I want to expand my horizons and grow ornamentals. Please include me in your drawing for a free education.

My hat is officially in the ring…..
Thank you so much for all the info over the years. I’ve passed on your “words of wisdom” and ebook to numerous friends and family. If at first I don’t succeed, I do keep trying!
I love to be a winner, toss me into the mix…

Thanks for sharing–I would love the new Backyard Growing System and books. That would be awesome!!!!! First time ever to comment. Thanks
I have been receiveing your e-mail for years and always enjoy the information you send out. I have a booth at our local farmers market and grow a lot of produce. I would be interested in selling more plants also, therfore I would put you new system to use.
Thank You!!
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’.
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.
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. See I am a lumper but received a neck and back injury which makes it very hard to do my job so I believe the time has come to start looking into a new career and I believe your books could lead me down the right path. Thank You and God Bless you and your family Dawn
I would love a copy…I started this year doing the small plant like you stated here and they are growing great looking forward to selling them in the spring time. thanks so much for all of your good points you made my day.
Really need this system!!
I would love to have a copy of your new and improved system. I have been trying to find the time to do this, but my mother had been in a nursing home for the last couple of years, so spent all my extra time with her. 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.
Please add me to your list.
sure would like to win!! Please consider me, I am about ready to quit my day job! 🙂
I need all the help I can get! Thanks.
I have learned a great deal from watching your videos and reading the newsletter. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about starting my backyard nursery.
I have been reading your emails and watching your videos for a long time. So much information packed into them. I’ve used a lot of what I’ve learn so far. I would love to win the new backyard growing system books and dvds. It would be nice to make money from something I loved doing as a hobby. I’ve help to start a Garden Club in my community and think that the members would be the first to buy small plants from me. Maybe I’ll one of the three lucky people to win.
Want to throw my hat in the ring as well! Thanks for the wonderful updates.
Would love a copy and see how I can incorporate it into my Aquaponics and Wicking Bed systems
thanks for all you do

Hi Mike,
I’ve worked at a company for nearly 14 years that froze all pay raises years ago. In one of the worst states in the union for jobs (Michigan), and at 50 years old, I’ve been trying to make a move career-wise and am getting nowhere. I love gardening and landscaping and have really enjoyed your newsletter and your information. I’ve been trying to scrape together the funds for your system for months even though its not expensive, its been hard. So this opportunity is one I’d love a chance at.
Keep the good stuff coming!
Paul

Thank you Mike. I enjoy all of your articles and have found your previous edition of the book to be an immense help.
Greetings Mike
What an opportunity! Please throw my hat in the ring!
Just moved to a different locale and need to get my hands dirty..A 700 mile difference and only big box here and the nursery “industry” non existant..What an opportunity to supplement the social security check!
Thank you for the opportunity, Mike. I’d appreciate the gift of your publication, it will be the catalyst to get my family on board and commit to a family gardening business!
Thank you, Rusty

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Hi Mike,
I would love to own one of your backyard systems. This would help jump start a new career to get away from an office and into the outdoors where I belong. I’ve been following you for a couple years, and I love all your helpful hints you provide. Thanks Mike!
Pam
Thanks for all your wonderful tips and instruction. Best site ever!
I would love to have a back yard growing system and would like to throw my hat in the ring for one you are giving away since I have no money to even considering buying one due to my low income.
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
I would love a copy! I stuck a couple of 5″ sticks into the ground a year ago and now I am HOOKED in a big way!! (they are over 3 ft now and I am so proud of my crazy mutant trees.) I need to learn how to propagate something other than a hybrid poplar and actually grow a business out of this!!! Thank you for the inspiration Mike.
Thanks for the great offer! Please put my name in the hat!
PICK ME!! PICK ME Mike!! I”am just an old and I do mean old country girl . So here is my hat in the ring .
throw my hat in the ring please!
I’m retired and finding that the SSA rocking chair money barely makes it through the month. A little supplemental income would surely help.
Mike,I love your emails and although my time and money is limited,I would love to have your system.
I love plants and would like so much to learn all I can about having my own nursery business. I have been wanting to purchase your system since it cost about $88. I have not been able to spare the funds. One of these days I will.
Do you ship internationally? I live in Antigua, West Indies.
Hi Mike, love your inspirational story because I feel like I am at where you started 🙂 You’re motivational and I learn a lot from your posts online and on facebook. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Hi Mike,
I really enjoy reading your newsletters. Thanks for working so hard to provide inspiration to all of your readers!
Howdy Mike!
I’m way out West in this Mediterranean climate known as California. I need to slow the death rate of my vegetables, or switch to plants that fare better here. I’m sure I’ll benefit from the advice you’re offering.
Thanks,
Matt
I am retired and 68 years old. Need something to fill my time. Have grown oak trees from acorns, many things from seed and want to try my hand at propogation. Maybe even make some $ doing it. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would like to be considered for your free book. THANKS!!
thanks for all the gardening tips you have shared, been many ideas that have been helpful.
Please enter me for the drawing.
Hey Mike & Duston: This “Dirt Lady” would LOVE to give your system a whirl here in Zone
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)
Reiterating the first comment…
“What is the cost of the new system?”
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!!!
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,
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.
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
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.
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. I would like to aventually have enough income coming in that I don’t have to work away from home – in camp three out of four weeks a month. Keep the newsletters coming!
PUT MY HAT IN THE RING. I ENJOY READING YOUR EMAILS. GOOD INFO.
Let me know when you got books,and price,my odds are slim to none.
Hi Mike. really ejoy your tips, techniques and ideas and would like a copy of your new program
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.
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.
I am finally in a better position to start propagating plants on a large scale!! new information will be greatly appreciated.
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.
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!
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.
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!
Enjoy your video’s. Please enter my name in the ring Joan
Love reading your email and appreciate you putting my name in for your backyard growing system. Thanks, Diane
Hi Mike,
I have been following for several years. Both my husband and I are now laid off, we are going to get some plants growing this fall. Thanks for your system. Sandy
Hey Mike, Put my name in okay?
Hi Mike! This is a great opportunity for 3 lucky winners and very generous of you. I am working hard at trying to be a work/stay at home mom. This might be my great opportunity! Thank you for your newsletter and all your great advice! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Heather
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.
Mike. U are the best…Love your info n ideas. Wishing u much success on the new material.
Hope to b considered. TY
Happy Growing,
Josie
I would love to be one of the three lucky ones to win your book. I enjoy your website and forward it to friends.
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!

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
would you please pick me as i have recently lost my job due to back surgery. i dont get unemployment and could use your system to create an income, thanx
Me, Me!! Please pick me!!
I love ya, Mike.
What a great opportunity! I would love to try it.
🙂
Congratulations, Mike and Duston! I love what you do and would love to receive your new system. As one of my favorite permaculturistsm, Geoff Lawton, says, “All the world’s problems can be solved in a garden.”
I believe this statement wholeheartedly and keep on gardening because of it.
We have been receiving your emails for about 2 yrs. they have been very helpfull. We are in process of trying to start a plant and fresh produce business. Your free growing system would help us alot, as funds are short. Thanks for giving us a chance.
Wow!!! Thank you for your generosity. I am a Master Gardener in Zanesville, Ohio and have shared some of your insightful information with others. I am fascinated with the concept of earning income doing my favorite hobby. Sure appreciate all you do. Kind Regards!!!!
I am retired and I love working with plants. I live in Florida with sandy soil. I would love to give your back yard system a try if you think it will work here. I have 2 1/2 acres to work with. I do have plants that grow here fine but some I have trouble with.

Thanks for the offer.
I know I don’t have a snow ball chance in hell, to win with all these applicants, but I’m retired, love plants, and like to watch things grow.
Just found you on youtube trying to figure out muscadine and blackberry propagation. thx for the info!!!
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
never win anything, here goes.
Enjoy your buisness
Hi Mike would love a copy. been ordering just about everything you offer and starting a new chapter in the plant world more so when I retire from the other job in a few years
Thanks Neil
I so thoroughly enjoy reading and following your gardening tips! please add my name to the draw. Thanks, Jeanette
This hat of mine is all sweaty from working outside in this Texas heat but, I’ll throw it in anyway. I love propogating from cuttings and would like to do it on a much larger scale. have been successful with figs, grapes, azaleas, gardenias.
I like to play in the dirt but I have no income. Sure would like to win this!
Well, here I am, a simple woman trying to make a simple living. I actually have been a follower for over 5 years and have used some of your advice. Now that I am single with 3 kids I must bring home the bacon.Please consider my entry into your drawing, thank you.

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.
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

I am a great fan of yours and really appreciate all the first rate information you post. I love the videos! I have recently retired and need to do something I love to suppliment my small retirement income. Please consider me for your new product as it would keep me in the right direction.
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.
Throwing my hat in. Every time I step outside I think to myself ‘I should learn what that fellow Mike has to teach’ and do something with our small lot of property here. Maybe this will be my chance.
Love the free email articles, very helpful.
i would love a copy of your new book. I loss my dad 2 years ago this Aug. and need a helping hand at growing things that he use to grow and show me how. Love your site and your ideals.
I would really love to get a copy! It would be very useful for me as a complement to my flower gardening website.
Just retired from 37 years of teaching. Can’t wait to get my fingers back in the dirt. I really need an additional income to supplement my retirement check. I have enjoyed your posts for a few years now, I finally have the time to devote to gardening.
Thanks so much for the offer!
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.
Mark
mike your style is so practical. i love the idea of just getting out in the yard and getting dirty. you have inspired me many times with many different topics. thank you for your email education.
I bought 30 acres and am developing it for everything off the grid. Please consider taking a look at my hat as it sails into your ring.

I love Backyard Growers Message Board.I learn alot and enjoy the videos and articles.
Put my name in your hat for the drawing.
Hey, Mike!
I’ve enjoyed your emails and videos — your advice is easy to follow and always on the mark. I’m facing a very scanty retirement in a few years and would love to win one of your free systems to supplement my income — so throw my name into the pot and wish me luck! Thanks, Jan
I’d like to put a hat in the ring for all of my Middle School members of the afterschool plant club! We’d like to use your method for fundraising at the school!
Thank you for all the gardening tips-you are truly blessed with all of the knowledge you have!!
PLease add me to the list
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
I am sure I will give a try. I am amazed you help us to grow. Thank you for the opportunity to learn.
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
Hello Mike! Love reading all your great advice and watching the videos! We’ve gardened for years but I’m ready to take it to a higher level as I am not in the work force any longer I have the time to devote to learning your system! Winning your new book/videos would be awesome! Even if I do not win, thanks for all the information in your webisite!
I’d love to receive your new system. Thanks a million for all your articles and videos
I would love to have this but not in my means of buying ha dont even know how I am going to have heat this coming winter so guess it is going to be a cold winer for me . yet love your emails and the tid bits you share . God bless.
m retired and have been putting in a garden for over 30 years. I love your videos that I get through my email ever now and then. You have given me a lot of ideas that helped. I am interested in your new system. So put me in line for your new book. Thanks.
I would love to have your growing system. I find so much solitude in gardening since I stay at home and I am a caregiver for my disabled combat airborne army ranger. Gardening brings peace to my life. And I thank you for this opportunity.
Having difficulty in getting used to gardening in Texas versus Maine where I began my first gardening experiences. The soil and the weather is soooooo different here. I’ve enjoyed your helpfulness in learning how to plant trees in clay soil and all your other information. Would love to have this free information you are offering. It would be such a blessing to me.
I have been reading your emails for several years now. I save every one even if I don’t have time to read it yet, because I know the tips on growing the plants work great!! I am currently looking to start making money from home so that I may stay home with my daughter and special needs son. Good luck to everyone!!
