Comment below and tell me what your favorite purchase has been so far for your microgreens business!!!
I think my favorite purchase has been my media equipment so I can help others to improve their own businesses 🌱💚
I had just finished getting my ducks in a row when the world stopped. Your videos are awesome. I wish I had found your channel a year ago. The best investment I ever mad was a sink and filter
Best purchase has been free. It was finding your channel man. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge, you´re gonna help a lot of people with this !
Where do you get your seeds?
Where do you get your labels and label holder from?
Dude,, I am loving your content.. I am a 51 yr old disabled vet that is looking for ways to earn income to help grow my Veteran organization (VFF). I am going to use your videos to help me with Micro Greens to get me started. God Bless! Dean P.

Hey Danny, this is a great service you do for the community. God Bless
awesome video D! You're the first pro I came across and this is the 3rd video I clicked on after searching for tips on starting, scaling, and maintaining a profitable microgreens business. I've always been one to give credit where credit is due and the amount of value you bring is pretty dope man and how things should be done. Much appreciated!
Donnal, thank you so much for your generosity of sharing your trade secrets! You have made the world a better place!!!
Don! Great job, you are very detailed educator! I learned a lot and will continue to watch your channel to learn more. Sprouts for LIFE!
Thank you Lana! I appreciate your feedback and can't wait to come visit you soon! Sprouts for LIFEEEEE 💯 🌱🚀
Es muy agradable ver personas como tu sin egoismo y con un gran deseo de compartir , te felicito , no dejes de set asi, por cierto tienes un gran parecido a mi Hijo. Gracias por tus conocimientos.
One of my favorite sayings is “there is nothing more expensive than she”. Thank you for the video and sharing your wisdom.
This is superb! Thank you ever so much for sharing and inspiring. We will produce just enough for our selfes, so we are more self reliant on greens in the cold seasons.
Thanks so much for this nice comment!
So happy I found this channel.
Starting a few trays next week, going to give them to a bunch of my local chef friends, and see what happens.
Maybe i can get a small business going!
Jams, Indeed. Gotta have some Rock-N-Roll for me and something soft and soothing for the plants.
Always!!! If you have Spotify, I created a playlist called "Seed Your Soul" if you want to check that out!
great video and well-thought-out content! haven't started with microgreens yet, but my wife and son are currently growing peas, tomatoes and carrots on the kitchen floor in two trays with a single circular grow light from the big box store
You know your stuff. Thank you, I will be following you. Gonna start with a few trays and see where this goes.
Thank you for your passion
Donny......... THANK YOU SO MUCH. Hero of the year
Haha much love, my pleasure 🌱💚
My best excitement for Microgreens start up that I still use now is the stuff I bought for selling grape vines ( that were free from the yard ) at the farmers market = folding tables & gazebo on sale at fall time & old coolers I’ve had for years I just cleaned & brightened up with hot bleach water
Yesss!! That's what I'm talking about! Reduce, reuse, recycle and make due with what you have to keep your costs down!! Crushing it Dazie 🌱🚀 Where are you located anyway? In the USA?
Thank you for sharing. This video is so comprehensive. Keep up the great work!
Best thing is that you reply to all your comment. Keep it up👍🏼
Keep calm keep teaching, keep growing. Love from India Shillong ❤️
Haha of course! You are my peeps!! 🌱🌱💚💚💚
I've watched this more than once! Benge watching Donny Greens!
Donny Greens! I love that you play music for your plants 🌱 how kind 🐌
Gotta play them the dope jams!!!
That was a wonderful video jam packed with great info and extremely well presented. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦.
Love the bootstrap trays they really are amazing
Got a side job to build up capital to start my own local business. I freaking love gardening and decided I want to make a career out of it. Thank you for your content, it's super appreciated :)
Awesome Sarah love to hear that!!
I know this video is a few years old but the content is excellent!!! Literally the best presentation ever on how, what,why! Length is perfect! I look forward to all the information. Thank you!
Much love!! Thanks so much! 🌱💚
First off, thank you for all the great videos you are posting, Donny! I've been watching them all, as well as Microgreens Farmer & Micro Acres! We're waiting for our new house to finish being built (it keeps delaying) and I plan to get started as soon as we settle in! Eventually, the goal is to build a backhouse for growing operations, but, I will likely get my 'sea legs' with this business in the garage with a couple racks. My question is, will temperature fluctuations in a garage be a large problem for microgreens? I live in the Pacific Northwest (the edge of rural territory) and the good news is that the climate here is generally fantastic year around but we do get 88 degree August days and some 27 degree nights in Feb. Do you foresee an issue with that? Thank you in advance!!
I'm going all in. Thank you so much!
Get it bro!!!! 🌱🌱🚀🚀🚀🚀
Great video. Short, to the point and informative.
Thank you for another awesome video!! They are so helpful. 2 best first investiments: strong sturdy growing trays (not tonnes of choices here in South Africa yet, like your super shallow ones which are great, but the more microgreens happen here too the more tray varieties will grow over time :) ), and a hose master nozzle to water more efficiently (it is such a treat).
Ahhh yes those are such good investments! Thanks for commenting and letting me know. I'm so glad to be friends with a grower in South Africa! 😆🌱💚 What is your favorite variety to grow so far?
@@DonnyGreens so far Broccoli - especially in terms of taste and nurtitional values :). Alfa Alfa second!
Thank you for your work with all your videos this is really helpfull for me to start
Thanks, I been playing with growing micro green for home consumption. This video gave me a better idea of what I need to grow for personal use.
Awesome Lawrence, love it! Sounds like you are a perfect candidate for this new microgreens challenge: OneTrayAway.com I hope to see you in there!
So I’ve been curious about growing micro greens lately and been watching your videos to learn and just found out you’re a fellow longislander!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and struggles with others.
No problem, thanks for listening!
Thank you for sharing this content bro ✊🏼❤️
Coming up on the 1 YEAR anniversary of this piece of content GOLD! Congrats, brother. KEEP CRANKIN’ 💪🏼 🌱
Hahah thanks so much for this comment, made my day lmao
Your videos are amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank YOU so much for watching and commenting!! 🌱💚
Amazing! Thank you Donny.
You are very welcome!!
Another extremely helpful video. Thanks man!
No problem! Thanks so much for watching 🌱💚
Love the set up! and we very much appreciate your support :)
I'll be ordering trays from yas from this video😁💚🙌🏼
Your trays are leaps and bounds over the other flimsy trays I have! I am going to buy some of your 5 x 5's soon.
Haha loving this thread! 🌱💚
Love the new haircut! I am so happy to see you doing so well. Lisa
Haha thanks Lisa 😎I'm happy with the cut too, it was time for sure! Hope you are well 🌱💚
JBL speaker check...lol now for the rest. Just assembled our 1st steel rack, which has been our favorite purchase so far...the trays everywhere thing got old quick :). Thank you for the tray link especially I've been wanting to get more sturdy ones. Excellent. I need some zip ties & a power strip too... then we should be rocking our 1st full rack. 💚 Great video thank you!
Haha this comment makes me happy 😆 So glad I've been able to help and I'm so excited for you to get started!! Stay in touch, make sure you're in the facebook group so you can post progress pictures!!! 🌱💚
nothing but mad respect for you man when I saw your forearm ink is your company logo. Your videos have inspired me to learn more about microgreens.
much love!! glad to hear that!!
Hi Donny. When I watch your videos.
I can see how honest and truthful you are and you don't care about sharing money earning techniques and this is amazing because you've given the ability for the average person to start a business and earn some good money.
You are truly a very good person and I only wish you the best to what ever you do with the future you have.
Guess the heart you have it's made of pure love and not gold.
😊
haha much love!! Trying to open my heart chakra but only can get glimpses of the blissful joy deep inside. More meditating for me!
@@DonnyGreens you most definitely already have. I beileve that you have opened the heart chakra and that if you truly beileve that you haven't, then you are far more aware than what you think.
All the best for you and I am sure what ever journey that you pursue that you will strive greatly.
Only the best
Alexander
I just got the rough in plumbing done in my garage!! Electrician coming this weeks to upgrade and add outlets in my space. Its coming along!!!
Awesome!!! so exciting!!!!
Amazing video, thank you!
No problem, thanks so much for commenting! 🌱💚
Thank you!
Great video thanks!!
This seems really viable. Especially if you are in a good location and have low competition. Loooove the playlist!!!
I don't have any space to do this at the moment. I love the idea big time. Sprouting is really fun.
Awesome haha, so glad you are enjoying the playlist!
Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome!
You the man Donny Greens!
Back atcha!! Much love 🌱💚
I appreciate the good closed captioning. :)
😊🌱💚
Sweet, thanks for all the tips and tricks.
(Just downloaded the playlist, will give it a try tonight, thanks :) )
Rad! Hope you like it!
I just ordered my first trays!!
Wow! What a great video, Donny Greens. I'm so happy I found your channel. You have such a wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I just subscribed!!!
Much love, thank you so much!!! 🌱🌱💚💚💚 Are you growing yet?
@@DonnyGreens Not yet, but I will be soon! I am just getting things set up so that I can get started. I'm really excited!!! 😁 I'm so glad you make videos about all the things you've learned about growing microgreens. Thank you. It's been a lot of fun just watching and learning from them. You're the best! Sending you lots of love and encouragement from Canada!
Thank you! Good work ❤
No problem 😊
Thanks so much time is money and it is so nice that you can give great information and make money with links!
thanks so much for that Tabitha, I love it too, feels like a mutual benefit and I love helping others!
Good information! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Greetings fro Arkansas!! Donny, U R the best. God bless you!!
thank you!!!
Hi Donny, can you share with us, how you went about acquiring your 1st customers? What worked well and what didnt work so well for you? Thank you very much for your valuable content and your work!
Really like your videos. thanks so much for sharing the tips.
No problem, thanks so much for your comment, i'm glad you a re liking them!
very valuable content ...highly appreciated
you got it
Love your stuff kick on love it
awesome thanks so much!!
Sick playlist bro, love it. Just getting into greens but looks like we like the same music. Hope my greens do too!
I love this video I hope to start someday soon!
Do it!
I bought good lights. Makes a huge difference
of course!
Great information Donny!! Been a pleasure watching your videos. I'm about to start on a small microgreens project and was wondering about the specific brand name soil that you use. I heard you say w/ parlite and peet moss, but was curious who uses what specific brands out there. Thx!!!
Great job
Amazing, using fluorescent lamps can grow healthy and fresh plant.
Absolutely !
Great information!
Thanks so much Tyler! I'd ask you to share it but I know the first and second rules 😉
omg the music... AMAZING idea!!! yeah, I would do the Classical 100% the entire time... like, 100% it will always be on. PERIOD. To go even that much further, to provide a better product to those that want to consume elite nutrients..
Donny, thank you for these videos. I started with one video and ended up watch at least 6 or 7. I learned so much in such a short time. My interest is more from a prepping standpoint to have nutritious foods in a SHTF scenario which could be next week the way things are going 😢. Anyway, I just have 1 question. You use a 14 pound weight on your seed starts. Is that 14 lbs on a stack of trays or would you use the same weight if you only had 1 or 2 trays? Seems heavy to me.
Thanks for this!
No problem Jake, thanks for the comment! Where are you growing?
Donny Greens I’ve been growing in Southern California just learning, but looking to start my business when I move to upstate New York in the next few months.
Sir, the music part is probably the most important part for me ! haha. Plants feel !
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am an farmer 👩🌾 as well.
No problem! #FarmFam
Thanks
This is the least I could, to appreciate you. Thanks.
Thanks again for such a great video - I love my stainless racks! Also, I'd love to learn more about watering... I'm hoping you will cover that topic one day soon :)
You got it! Thanks for your kind words and this comment! It's funny how a simple rack can be so loved haha. I find myself appreciating the most simple silly things in my farm 😆I will definitely do some videos on watering in the future. Totally an important topic 🌱Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼 Are you having trouble watering at all or just want to learn more in general?
@@DonnyGreens I'd say both... I'm super worried that I'm overwatering at times and other times my micro's look like they are ready to keel over (and then I panic water!).
Thank you Donny. I am planning on starting to grow Microgreen for my husband who now has his own restaurant. This video is very helpful. My first, most direct question is that we have a greenhouse outside. Do you have advice for growing outside rather than indoors with lights?
Now this is cool🎉
Woop woop
thanks for help brutha
Thanks for this boss, I needed this info.
No problem! I hope to see you in the challenge also! OneTrayAway.com
@@DonnyGreens what do you use for your labels when you're selling products. Looking for a good label printer
Thankss!
No problem! Are you growing microgreens yet?!
Love your content it’s been a big help in getting my Microgreens business up and running. Can you please share how you wash your sunflower to get rid of the excess seed hulls. Also do you sanitize your seeds and if so what is that process? Thanks again!
I do not sanitize any seeds whatsoever. The sunflowers get brushed after each watering. My next set of videos will be specifically on sunflower microgreens so stay tuned for more info 🌱😊
How it goes? Did u find out about more about sanitary regulations and stuff? Everyone say “microgreens” and “make money” but no one speaks about what if someone gets sick with a bacteria from eating those microgreens? Salmonella, flagella, E. coli…. How do restaurants and shops allowing “uncertified” products bough from “Joe doe” on the street corner? Cuz once u get with FDA regulations IRA regulations for businesses and all other things - all profits are out of the window.
@@mushroom4978Doesn’t produce need to be grown in contaminated manure to be exposed to those bacteria, though? He uses potting soil. And this isn’t a prepared food; it’s a raw agricultural product. You just tell customers to wash or cook it before consuming. We probably buy chicken that’s infected with salmonella all of the time; it’s not the supplier’s fault if you get sick from eating it raw.
You are such a sweetheart !!
haha thanks 🌱💚
Awesome videos. Do you regret not buying a wider rack system for you 10x20 flats? 48 x 18 x 72 allows the 20inch tray to over hang by quite a bit not allowing the tray to sit flat on the shelf between the front & back lip of the stand. I was looking at getting a wider stand, 1219L x 610D x 1800H. Flat tray, flush at the front & a small bit of room at the back of the tray.
My husband and I are wanting to start a microgreens business and you have been our number 1 guide to all things microgreens. We love your videos and you have been so helpful.
I have one question on lights that I haven’t been able to find an answer too. I see you linked the Barrina LEDs and the Full Spectrum Sunblaster. Do you need both sets to grow? Or just one or the other?
Hey Donny! Love the vids! Super informative. I'm out in Westchester, and was wondering what sort of permits / licenses do you need to start a small microgreen business?
Call your local dept of ag to see what they say. Good idea to have FLIP insurance
One 48" light per shelve? :o good idea, it must pull everything to the center keeping all the herbs tight
That’s what I’ve noticed. I decided to start with one strip down the middle. It’s a nice grow.
Nice video Donny, looking forward to start a microgreen business, have a friend already into it and he's doing perfectly, combined with mushroom farming. Though he is a mycologist.
Mycology? does he venture into mushroom trip
@@chrissanti4856 Absolutely, been with him for 3 years and he's my plug when it comes to stopping depression and anxiety
@@SelmanChristian how do i get to him, its really hard to locate here
@@chrissanti4856 dr frierson [IG]
Great video! Subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
you are awesome!
Thanks, so are you!
Great information !
I only have a few of the Bootstrap Farmer’s trays (more on the way)
I made the mistake of buying the cheap ones, not only will they not last as long, they sag in the middle, they don’t stack right leaving a corner or a whole end of the tray lower causing so many issues.
YEP!!! Thanks for the comment and validating this haha. Much love! I'm glad you made the choice earlier than I did 😆So many issues from those crappy flimsy trays that people don't realize. The sagging in the center is a recipe for overwatering. Who are your main customers? Restaurants? Home delivery?
Donny Greens We are about 50/50 right now. We are looking forward to getting involved in a farmers market so we can push more subscriptions.
We are not trying to approach too many restaurants right now.
Thanks Donny! How long are your grow lights? It looks like they fit perfectly to the racks. What is the length of each one? Thanks so much!!!
OUr favorite purchase (besides the Bootstrap Fsarmer trays) in a battery-powered 1.25 gallon water sprayer by Flo-Master.
Wow awesome!! Thanks for much for participating in this. Thats a great response!
Hi am thinking of starting a micro green set up to start a test run with samples . just to see how many people are interested ! I love growing and love the small area that you can grow in . wish me luck
Awesome, best of luck my friend!! Keep me posted on how it goes!
I'm very interested in this, and everyone seems like they have a easy go at getting started, but you obviously need a dedicated space with water, HVAC, electric, drainage, and thousands in start up cap.
depends on your situation but its a dope business for surE!
great content !
Thanks a lot! Are you a microgreens grower?
@@DonnyGreens I'm starting my first grow soon. Waiting for the seeds, since they are a bit of a problem in my country :(. Just got the lights ready, rack and airflow + dehumidifier
Truly love this entire concept. I live in a 2 bdrm. Comdo.so water would be the issue 4 me 😒 . not allowed to alter w/ o strata permission. Any suggestions? 🌈☮️🙏
Hey buddy thanks for the awesome video .
Need some more info about how do you find places to sell these micrograms or who do you approach.
Plz reply
Hello, Thank you so much for your videos. I am taking my baby steps in growing microgreens from home. I tried asking several people about how to grow them but nobody would help. I am glad i found this video. Just in case, i have further questions and if you are willing to help out, how do i reach you?
Can you explain why you use this particular soil mix? Thanks : )
Hi Donny, good stuff here. I’m about to order the sun blaster lights in this video. It seems you are only using one per shelf, correct? Also please let me know you’re shelf spacing. I love the videos and will continue to watch.
That is correct, only 1 lamp per shelf! I freakin love those light for that reason among others. I'm sure you will love those sunblasters and I appreciate you using my links! My spacing is 11 inches from lamp to shelf beneath 👍🏼
