People leave me their unwanted plant cells and pots on my front porch for me to reuse (I wash them with the bleach solution to avoid damping off). They also leave me mini blinds which I cut and make into plant markers. After seeing what others charge I know I'm way too cheap (50 cents for tomatoes and herbs, 25 cents for veggies, $! - $3 for perennials). This is a hobby that I hope to turn into a business when I retire and move in 4 years. Any advice?

I am impressed by your determination. Love the way you recycle in a loving farming way. I love the way you have gotten your neighbors and friends and family to recycle the old plant containers. Your prices are good for a hobby. But business brings many regulations like new pots. But you can handle that when you are ready to retire. Enjoy your hobby and your "Plant Yard Sale"for now.
