    Mike…my question is simply do I need a business permit or licence to purchase plant plugs from wholesalers?

      Chris,

      Maybe, it depends on the wholesaler. Most importantly they want to confirm that you truly are a business and not just a homeowner. Most figure that out quickly by what you are ordering and in what quantities.

    Hi Mike, I just watched several of your video. Awesome plants! I’m in South Carolina. Would I be able to purchase plants directly from you and get them sent to me? I’m considering doing what you suggested about having a plant, virtual, business. I do have acreage. Thanks, Kathleen

    I would love to come and will be in the area, but I would have a friend with me, not a buyer just a person with me. Would he be allowed to walk around with me?
