Free Backyard Growing System
I am giving away three copies of my Brand New Backyard Growing System!
Here’s the deal. Right now my Backyard Growing System is not available, I’ve taken it off the market. Because . . . Duston and I have been working on a completely new and revised edition of the Backyard Growing System and the new version will not be available until early September.
So while we are all waiting for the new products to be completed I’ve decided to give away the first three copies that we produce. The winners (three winners!) will be randomly selected from the comments made to this post. So if you’d like to be considered for this give away, post a comment below.
The new system will be called “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home”. This will be a combination of physical and digital products. The physical products are a brand new book that I wrote this summer, “Small Plants, Big Profits from Home” and a two DVD set that includes my Backyard Nursery DVD as well as a new DVD called “Plant Propagation Madness”.
The book and new DVD are brand spanking new, never been sold before.
Also included will be an “Advanced Online Training Course”, the “Secret Directory of Wholesale Suppliers” and the digital report “The Inside Secrets of the Rooting Cutting Business”.
All good stuff!
So while Duston (my son) and I tie up the lose ends of getting this product ready and wait for the first shipment of books from the publisher, jump in here and post a comment!
Can I go ahead and prepay for the new system,
“Small Plants, Big Profits from Home”. I have money now but there is a good chance I will not in september.
What is the cost o the new system?
Thanks,
Faye
HI MIke,
I have been following your emails and posts for a couple years now and would appreciate putting my hat in the ring for the backyard growing system.
Thanks very much!
Kathy
I’ve just retired and now may have both the time and having just moved recently, may have the space to do your system! And having just retired I’m definitely in need of some replacement income. By the way, the instructions for downloading your free book (right click mouse and select Save) does not work with Firefox browser. Given all the problems with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, lots of us are not using IE any more, although when it didn’t work on Firefox, I used IE to download the book. Thanks again for all your great help.
Please add my name to the drawing pool.
As I transition form my business to staying home I look forward to these products. I have a large garden (grew up on a farm) but have never done propagation. Thank you for your weekly tips.
I would sooo love to start a new career. I love your emails and website and look forward to this new product. Looks like you had a great Shindig!
Thanks Mike, for your wonderful tips and advice! I love watching your videos; they’re so helpful!
I am so excited! My husband just retired and now we will have time to start our “Backyard Garden”. I would love to get your new information, as I have been following you for a while now, and really have learned a lot. Thanks
Love your suggestions and videos. I always look forward to your advice and ideas!
Thanks Mike for all your great ideas. I am just starting my backyard nursery. Hoping to help others with the profits I make.
All my profits are going to be donated to a few people in need and if I have anything left I’d like to take my grandkids on a Disney Cruise. I’m setting our goals high.
Mike, I would love to have one, but can’t afford one just yet…unemployed with no compensation. I never win anything, but it is sure worth trying. Thanks for all the info you so kindly pass along for free. I love your story. You have my respect for keeping your eye on the ball. People like you deserve success.
Hi, I’m sure with your help I’ll become a sucessful gardener and will grow all my own veggies. thanks for the offer.
Thanks for all your help.

And gives you help that empowers
Because he is giving away his gardening system for free

Mike,
Thoroughly enjoy your website and articles. Have tried to pass them along to my brothers as well. Keep up the great work! How much will you be selling the new system for?
Your articles and videos are always easy to follow. I always wanted to discover the art of starting small plants but always had trouble. I would like to see your product and what you have to offer.
I love all of your wonderful videos! They are so helpful! I’d love to win a copy of your new system, thanks!
I’ve enjoyed your emails! Putting my name in the ring
Hey Mike! My name is Chelsey and I’ve been following your blog for about 6 months now and would LOVE to be a winner of your backyard growing system!
Chelsey
I would like to be considered in the drawing for the free backyard growing system. I read each of your e-mails and try to follow them. Not much time to do the nursery stuff and work, but the information that I have received has been very valuable.
Thanks.
I’ve enjoyed following your emails for sometime and have thought of raising native plants. My hat is in!
Count me in! This sounds great. You’re resources are inspiring!
HERES MY HAT
I have been learning gardening for a few years after becoming disabled and no longer able to work. It keeps me active and productive from my wheelchair. I happened upon your YouTube site and subscribed ASAP. I have been trying to clone an olive tree now all summer and could really use a book like yours. Living on S.S.I. since I did not work my entire life I get the minimum in funds each month. A book like this would bring food to our table as well as productivity from my end. Wish me luck!
It just so happens that August 19th, when you gave us all a chance to be a part of your drawing, was my birthday:) I have a very slowwwww dial-up connection so I didn’t have time to come out of my garden to catch up on my emails until now. Thx for giving us all a chance to be in your drawing; please count me in. (hope the drawing isn’t over)
Hi Mike ,I was really inspired by your newsletter when i started a small landscaping business about 7 years ago.I never truly used your tips and techniques regarding propagation as family needs demanded my full involvement. Im back! I love your open examples of home gardening possibilities and i have the time,materials,and desire to give a small production go of it. Please consider me in your valued offer of a complimentary gift of your new system. Thank You, Dexter Tracy
I would like to try your new system
Thanks for offering this! I have wanted to purchase a system for too long and never have as we still rent. ;o(. Hopefully we will bring that bond and get somewhere we can grow plants as you do.
I’m in!
I look forward to your new product.
Wow, great article!
Please! I never win anything. Honestly.
Cant wait to see what this could do to help me get started! It sounds so cool!
If you could see my yard, not only would you give me the book, you would probably appear on my doorstep. HELLLLLLLLLP!!’!!!!!
Cant wait !!
I have been following your information as it comes to my email and put it to go use. I really enjoy learning about gardening from your tips and info. Thank you for sharing. I would appreciate a copy of your new book so I can start this fall getting ready for next spring.
Thank you for this opportunity.

I would love a copy. My husband has serious heart trouble and no pension. My 85 year old mom, with dementia and health issues is now living with us so I can care for her as well. I work a full time job on top of all. I need a way to stay home but also support my family.

Pamela
I love your emails and videos. Like you, I get a giant thrill out of taking cuttings and watching them turn into new plants. It is exciting to know you are giving away 3 of your newbies, and so thanks a lot, even if I’m not one of the lucky winners.
Thanks for the opportunity Mike. I am disabled and am mot taking any money from the outside at all. I am trying to increase all my growing for my needs and to give to others that need food during these tuff times.
Please throw my name in the ring also. Thanks So Much
Save my wife an I a copy over the last two years we’ve taken a lot of your tips and used them in the plantings, I’m sure the new book will cover these and many more.
Thanks Mike
I belong to a garden club and have shared your information and tips with many others. Looking forward to reading more of your wonderful growing tips.
Sincerely, D. Weiss
Please consider me as a recipient of one of the three copies. After retiring from teaching I middle school, college mathematics, and writing grants for teacher I service programs, I fell “in love” with cacti and other succulents and have 100s of plants from different families, genera and species. Now, I propagate succulents from “around the world.”. I enjoy your column and have saved every one received.
Congratulations on your new book and DVDs. I look forward to reading it and watching the DVDs when they are released.
Thank you for considering me for one set of the materials.
Barbara

I look forward to all the hints tips and tricks, but I really feel like we are neighbors, I always feel like I am getting a personal e-mail, I always pass my e-mail onto my sister, who works full time and doesn’t have much gardening time because she too shares my enthusiasm about the e-mails. She’s Pam, with a husband named Mike!!Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed in the mean time! Here in ALABAMA

I purchased property in Delaware with plenty of room for growing small plants. I enjoy growing flowers and small bushes. My new husband wants to plant vegetables. There should be room for both.

Would like to be considered. Been lurking and emailing for years.
I don’t know that I have enough time for this business but it sounds like I might give it a try. I learn best buy reading, hearing and seeing. And then hands on. I think you have covered all the bases with this new program. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for all your efforts to make us a success at Backyard Nurseries.
My husband, Dave, and I are both 71 years old, retired, active church leaders, but are looking to grow more of our own food. We have a small backyard with half of it shaded. We could use the other half for raised garden beds, gardening in containers, or a mixture of whatever. What I’ve seen in your emails looks like what we would like to do. We volunteered in our small town community garden some this summer, but the heat and drought caused the garden to wither much earlier than ever.
Please consider us for the copy of your Backyard Gardening concept.
Thanks.

I simply love your angle on growing and would greatly appreciate a copy of your growing manual. Thank you for all your wonderful insight and motivation…!!!

Hi Mike and Duston! I have enjoyed your emails for quite a long time now and am finally looking at retiring in a couple of month. Shortly after that my husband and I will move to Costa Rica, where we hope to do a lot of gardening and hopefully grow something we can make a little money on. Big learning curve, can you and/or your book help? Or any of your readers for that matter.
We did make a growing box and have had success with that.
Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

thanks for giving away three who ever gets them will be really happy
Would love to have a copy of your system for two reasons. 1) I am an elementary school teacher in an ESE Autism self-contained program. I can envision several avenues of learning that your system could support. 2) Several of us in the neighborhood are considering a cooperative garden approach. Your system would provide efficiencies we would nothave ourselves.
We live in Lima Peru and I need seeds for Japanese Maples of all varieties here and can not get them, Mike? I wrote an email and someone from your team would NOT or could NOT help me to get your info or books etc here nor with the seeds as I can NOT have them mailed here from a seed company, but only in unmarked padded envelops. I will pay for them and would like 2 or 3 of all varieties for propogation. We are US Citizens living in Peru and want to do the business here of plants

Thanks for reading my post and all the best to you .

I would love one! I love my yard, flowers, trees, shrubs, etc. and would love to be able to turn it into a business!
I have been reading these emails and using the information for years. This new book and system may be what I need for my hobby. Free would make it even better.
I would love a copy! We just purchased a home so I can start using your great tips. I’m planning on a wicking gardening system using rainwater collection.
Throwing my hat in too. Would love to see how I can adapt your plans and ideas to my Alaskan growing season.
Really enjoy learning all the different techniques and learning from all the great knowledge you share on your site.
Hi Mike,
I would love to get a copy. Thank you for all of the knowledge you have shared with us and for teaching me how to become a better gardener.
Thanks,

My wife and I have recently retired and move to a house with a 1/2 acre lot where we are starting our vegetable garden and fruit trees. We hope to add chickens (as soon as we get the city to change the code to allow them). A plant business from home would make a great retirement business. I am throwing my hat in the ring.
Thanks
Jim Pescha
Hat’s in the ring! Retired, room to grow things, and the will to get r’ done! Always wanted to purchase this but could never find the spare cash to do so . . . . hoping, and fingers crossed!
I have so many problems with my back yard. I have been struggling with a variety of challenges getting things to grow where I didn’t have any problems before and I have lived her 15 years. I need all the help I can get. I hope I am one of the lucky ones to get picked to receive your book. Thank you so much for your FB page and your website. You provide so much information to all of us. We are very grateful.
Looking forward to the new version.
- Greg
You’ve got so many suggestions and tips, I don’t know which one to try first! We’re moving to the country soon and I’d love to give your system a try. Hopefully I can snag one of your giveaways do I can convinced wife to get on board! Thanks for the great website and all of your interesting facts and helps!
Recently moved to a new location which has several raised bed, looking for ways to utilize them. I would like a free copy.
I have enjoyed your emails over the years. They are informative and inspiring. I’m retired and trapped in an ageing body but still feel I’m 25 inside and need a productive outlet. I keep messing with the idea of plunging into the garden business full time and have tried many of your instructions to see if I’m cut out for it. Some aspects are expensive, such as greenhouses, and can get a little overwelming at my age. Never was one to think small but I enjoy the work. Your new book might push me off the fence. Enjoy your laid-back approach to planting.
p.s. Please autograph my copy of your book when I win.
Thanks, Al
Unlike the previous post, I have more than one hat… but I am throwing my most colorfully flamboyant gardening visor into the ring in hopes that it will grab your attention and I will get chosen for the free copy
Thanks!
I would like a copy of your book as I could really use alot of advice on how to make my backyard what I want it to be. I would be very grateful to win a copy of your book. So I hope to one of the three picked. Have a great day
You make it all look so easy! I want to give it a try!
Throwing my hat into the ring, this would be agreat way to get my garden started.

Hey Mike,
Great lottery!
I wish everyone success, but hope I will be one of the three lucky winners.
Success with the finishing touch on your new book.
Wieger, Aruba
I would like to be considered for the book because my biggest problem is room. My parents have a fern nursery here at their house and the yard is pretty much full. There are areas that I can clean out and use this system to start a new business. Thanks Mike.
Mike Weed
Metairie, LA
I’ve got my fingers crossed… Heck, I’ll cross my eyes and toes too!
Keep on inspiring…
But of course I’d love to get a free copy. Do I get my hat back? Thanks.
My hat’s in the ring. Would love to have a free copy. Thanks.
I’ll toss my hat in the ring. I’ve been building raised beds with screened covers for growing strawberries, blueberries & raspberries, and have a “nursery” section for small trees that sprout up around our apartment, 4 vegetable garden areas, and a growing shade garden. Plus a citrus grove on our front porch of potted grapefruit, lemon & orange trees from seeds. If we don’t eat or can it I’d like to sell the excess to help recoup some of the material investment, and expand even more. It’s a jungle out there!
Indeed, put my hat in the ring. I love your site and glean much info from it which I share with my Garden Club. I live on an acreage and have many flower beds and a veg garden. This year was a challenge as a huge shortage of rain.
Janice

I would like to be in the drawing for a copy please. Thanks for all the great advice from the emails….
I will throw in all hats any hats, to get one of these
I do not have a website.
I have enjoyed this for years. I am retired and on Social Security. I have been wanting to buy the system but seem to run out of money each month before I get it done. I could sure use the extra income . I have plenty of land and ample supply of spring water. My wife is from Blufton Ohio and I would have liked to visit but got the impression I was not welcome unless I was a member. I would love to belong with your group
Thank you Mike.
Joe
I have small plants and am looking for BIG profits. Show me how with a free copy!!! Thanks so much!

aggressively dead heading roses has turned out to be a good idea for me.

I love to garden, and would love to implement your system here where I live in SEi Michigan. Thank you for the opportunity.
Lanah Harris
I am so glad I found you. I’m an avid gardener and have been since I started in the garden with my dad, picking rocks out and into the wheel barrow. I learned what a great feeling it was to see our garden grow and what it produced. I have worked in our garden or have had a garden ever since. I am 56 now. I try to pick the best seeds every year and always win lots of ribbons and special awards at the fairs. I am very organic and hate to use pesticides, so do it naturally with plants such as marigolds, etc. I use natural fertilizer, my rabbits’ manure. I have always wanted a nursery but have never had the money being a single hard working mom for the last 16 yrs. I really enjoy all your tips! They have helped me tremendously. I’ve planted blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries this year. I just love being in my gardens. The smell of the earth, the gentle breeze, the birds singing and the sun on my face just makes me feel a part of the whole grand theme. Thank you for all you do to help others, Mike!
I would love a copy. I am thinking of starting up a landscaping business and what better way of keeping costs down than growing your own stock?
That is awesome! I love hearing what you and Duston are up to
I would love a copy of your new system! 
‘New’ is Always Better ! I would Love to receive a New Version Mike !
I would love to be in the running for this! I am an avid gardener, running a small greenhouse and nursery business and selling at local Farm Markets all summer. I have used a lot of your hints and tips to help my business. You have such awesome ideas and I would love to use even more! Hope I can get this!
I would love a free copy of your new book.pretty please
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A COPY OF YOUR NEW BOOK I JUST LOVE TO READ AND SEE YOUR VIDEOS I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH MORE ABOUT GARDENING THAT EVER
I would love to be entered into the running to win a copy of your new system. I appreciate the chance, and love getting your e-mails!

Thanks!
I’d love to receive a copy of your book! A writer myself, I’m always interested in books. and then there’s my garden, which is one way for my family to survive in this economy. I’d love info that would help me expand my knowledge and increase my earning potential!
Mike, Thanks for all the Great Tips that you share with all of us, We appreciate all the Great info!
Mike I would like to be considered for your new book. Thank you for your website I enjoy it very much.
So glad to receive this email and to be considered for this gift is humbling. My husband and I have been backyarding for a few years now and just started getting your emails and would love to buy the book! I have a sister that recently semi-retired that I think would love to get your book too! this would be awesome as she is just into getting started with the backyard growing and I am so excited to get her started too! I sent her some cuttings of my stuff and she is excited too! Thanks again and will purchase your book!
I have followed your tips over the last few years, and enjoy you videos especially. I have sold a few plants that grow in my one acre, and am looking for more precise information in what to grow for a better profit where I live. So far the hanging baskets are a big seller in the summer in NC, but not what I want to produce. What do you have to say about all the plants that compete at a low price at big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot? Is that addressed in your course? I have lots of questions, and want to throw my hat in the ring. Thanks, Margo
p.s. I like that you will have a book that I can hold. Great idea!
thanks for the chance
I just love reading your emails. You have given us some very useful tips. My friends love it when I give them a little start of a plant. I haven’t started selling them its fun to give them away. I would love a copy.
Greetings Mike and Duston,
Goodluck on your new product, thanks for all the valuable information in the newsletter. If I’m lucky I will try your system sooner, if not a little later.
Thanks for the offer, Mike!!! I would very much like to receive one of your Backyard Growing System! Have seen that Japanese Maples are the best trees to grow… and needing to make an income while disability is on hold… God bless!!!
Would definitely like to be considered for a free copy. I also raise rabbits and this would let me utilize my free fertilizer. Meaning I could have a salad with my rabbit and noodles.
Thank you
Hi! I am excited about your new book! I am looking forward to seeing what you have thought you needed to improve on and my hat is officially thrown in the ring! Thank you!

Throwing in my hat, right here, right now. I love the newsletters and would very much like to have this to help me understand, get new ideas and gain some knowledge about plants. Maybe I can gain a small part of the green thumb my mother had.
Hi Mike:
I have been waiting for the opportunity to actually make money from my small out-of-the-way property. I even have a little holey greenhouse to help bring plants along. I love your humor, and so appreciate a chance to win your backyard growing system – Thank you!
Having just retired, I am looking forward to expanding my plant propagation efforts for distribution beyond family and friends. A new and expanded version of your system would be the ticket.
I have enjoyed reading your emails for a while now. You make gardening seem very easy. Even if
I don’t win I will still enjoy your emails. Thanks.
Hi Mike, I would really like to do something nice and get this for my husband Jim. He took the Master Gardener course last winter and started a nice garden and I think your Backyard Growing System will help him to do something more. Thank you for the consideration.

Sure… I’d LUV a gift copy of your book… been implementing your ideas here and there on a trial basis the past few years.
I’m currently checking out the agriculture selling laws in my state to see what’s allowed. Ditto for online sales.
My first plant starts from cuttings are rooting in pots right now.
I also have about 1000 Norway spruces – from 6 to 36″ high I’d like to find out how to sell. They are self started on my mountainside in New York state at the edge of the forest. Would appreciate if you could give me a lead on that – even if I don’t win your gift copy of your book.
Many of my friends have been turned on to your site (by me
– including my brother who is a serious gardening fan…. has his own greenhouse now 
Thanks for all you are doing to help make the world a greener ~ and prettier ~ place! We appreciate it!
Thank you for your generosity. I’m tossing my hat into the ring for one of them there new-fangled Backyard Growing Systems.
Hi Mike and Duston! So glad you’re doing a new book – I know it will be awesome. I save all of your emails so I can go back and review them or when I need specific advice. Would be great to have a book at hand and DVDs would be like hands on help. Sometimes seeing someone doing a project is easier than reading about it. Thanks for all your help and best of everything in the future! Throw my hat in the ring please!
Awfully generous of you to offer free copies to folks, especially in tough times like these when folks (like me, out of work for 4 years) are searching for ways to be productive and make ends meet.

I would love to be one of your Backyard Growing Systems. My son is 47 and now disabled and it would help him to become more confident of himself being able to be productive. Not being able to do things like you used to do is very depressing; I feel this might uplift his spirits.

While everyone likes “free”, I’m sure there are others here that deserve a free copy much more than I do. That being the case, I’ll be satisfied if you will just give me a heads-up as soon as the new product is available for purchase.
I’m in for a free one. Love the site and bog. Lots of great info.
Mike, I’ve about worn out the video cassettes that i got from you — let’s see — well, years ago — plus you have updated those ancient but great teaching aids, hence my hat is yours. Thanks for keeping the faith all these years.
I would love to receive a copy of this book. I have lots of perennials to divide and sell, as well as many others to propagate, and I know it would be very useful. Please enter my name into the hat!!
Yeah, new book and love to get a FREE copy. Thanks!

Marilyn

Am retired and on SS. Am converting most of my backyard to a garden for needed income.Your experiences and advice would be invaluable. Thank you for considering me.
I would love to learn more about your system. I am retired and supporting not only myself, but also my son and grandson as there are no jobs here for my son. My income (retirement & SS) barely covers our essentials; nothing left over. My son and I changed a calechi (sp?) and clay yard into almost a garden paradise. Could not complete due to lack of funds, not space. With your system We can put our garden to work not only supplying vegetables, fruit and herbs, but also an income.
Thank you, Mike, for considering me as a beneficiary of your generosity.
I would like a chance to win your emails are very helpful and full of good info
Please pick me!
I am new and don’t even know what a wicking system is and have been staring at a crape myrtle cutting for two weeks waiting for it to root, which could take months, I don’t know, shows what a novice I am, but I’m throwing my not-so-knowleageable hat in the ring anyway!
I would love to have one of your growing systems. I am new to gardening–only about 3 years in and still learning. My job situation is now in flux and something like this could be a great thing to boost my situation.!
Ah! I’ve been waiting for one of these contests! I’ve been reading your newsletters for a long time and have really enjoyed reading your advice and ideas! Hat’s in and fingers are crossed!
Mike,
I appreciate the ‘deal’ I have been talking to my wife about growing trees…it might hot have sounded like talk, but I grew up around trees because I lived in the Ferdinand Forest and Dad lived there. My problem is that I need some help with dirt, sunshine, freezing and droughts. You have helped in so many ways. Thanks and God’s love.
Let us get growing with the good ideas and practical methods you share in the Backyard Growing system. I would appreciate the new insights. Thanks these are most useful. Charles D.
I enjoy learning from you letters. I’m 82 and your system could be of help to me since I have peripheral neuropathy in both feet and legs.
Thanks for your consderatio!
Hey, who doesn’t love free stuff? Especially when its useful stuff!
Hi Mike,
I would love a free copy of your book. I am the garden coordinator for a garden where all the veggies grown are given away at a food pantry. We also have an after school garden club for kids in a low income neighborhood. I am looking for ways for the kids to learn about business while earning money from gardening. Thanks for your consideration!
Put my hat in the ring for a free copy! I enjoy the things I have learned from you over the years. I had rather be outside than eat, although now I can find plenty to eat without having to go inside! Thanks to you! Loving Gardening! I am ready to take it to a new level. Thanks again Mike!
Deborah
Hi getting ready to retire looking for something I can do at home love working with plants and gardening Thanks
Good day Mike
I would really like to learn your system and put it to work up here in Canada. I have been very interested in growing plants my whole life.
It would really help me out if I could get your information for free because I can not afford to buy it at this time. I would like to be able to earn a few extra dollars from home.
Thanks for everything
Wayne
I would love to have a copy. My 10 and 7 year old kids love to garden with Dad. I would love a copy of your systems so we could spend even more time growing memories

Well, I certainly am throwing my cuttings in! Pun intended mind you.I’ve done a lot of your system using cave man methods, In other words, by using bits and pieces that you’ve shared over the years and I would finally love to actually see what I could accomplish with ALL OF YOUR knowledge Mike.
Gary
would love a copy so i could start my own business.

Hello Mike,
I really have enjoyed your website and all the great information you provide to us for free. I look forward to your e-mails with all the great tips and stories! I love plants and flowers and would especially appreciate an opportunity to make a living with something I enjoy so much. I started propagating cuttings from my burning bush with your technique of sand and a white trash bag and its working! So thrilled about it! So my hat is thrown in with great expectation to be one of the winners!! Thank you!
Congrats on the new product, Mike! Can’t wait to get my hands on one!
Thank you Mike, always look forward to the great info you send –

Thank you so much Mike for doing this. Good luck to the other two winners since I’ve won one…ha ha ha just kidding, although I really do hope and pray that I win one out of the three. Your advice and guidance is always correct and sooooooo helpful. You are a plus to the joy of growing plants. You’re just the best Mike, thanks again. And… please do consider me as a winner in your decision and you can keepmy hat (lol). God Bless You.
Sissy
Bring it on!
Hi Mike –
I am officially tossing in our hats!! I’ve followed your information for about a year and just love it. Until my arthritis became more of a challenge, I always had a full vegetable garden every season. I’d love to be able to do more, but at this point I have very limited mobility. My husband has just lost his job after almost 25 years – so I’m hoping we can start a little planting business and make a living from home. We could sincerely use a copy of this wonderful book – it could help us get started in a little business of our own. I’m good on the computer and have always wanted to start a blog – but have lacked a topic – perhaps this could be it! Here’s hoping that we get the opportunity to get to know you better!
Hi Mike,
I was recently laid off and have been selling a lot of my plants that I have started off of my mother plants to supplement my income. I enjoy reading your newsletters and could use really use the book. I enjoy growing plants,and working in my garden. Thank you for offering the free books, it is very kind of you.
Would love to have a copy, I need all the help I can get. Please enter my name in the hat. Thanks, LJS
Wow what a great deal. Can’t wait would love to have the Brand New Backyard Growing System! getting excited to start my Backyard Nursery. My wife and I Have already made some cutting and getting ready to set up the the legless work bench, I learned so much from you. Thanks you so much for what you Have done for so many Pepole. Mark
I would like to throw my hat in the ring. It is my dream to have a backyard nursery so I can leave my 9-5 but still feed my family and keep our beautiful 2 acre property.
Hey there! I don’t wear hats – butI would love to be onsidered for one of your three. I have been folloing you for a long time and reading every word your print. I would truly enjoy practicing what you preach.
Hey Mike! I would love to win a copy of your system! I live on an acreage and would like to see if your system could work for me!
Hi, I’ve been ready your emails, blog and website for a long time and keep hoping we could find the 2 nickles to rub together and buy the system you offer, to give us an income, but living on Social Security have not been able to yet. So of course I have to try to win it! Really thank you for the opportunity!! Oh, and all the information you provide is just great!!!
I’ve been reading your website and your Facebook posts for a long time and have learned so much! I’ve always been wanting to buy your Backyard Growing System info but it always seems like the money has to go for something else…like groceries, utility bills, etc., you know, un-fun stuff like that! I’m thrilled to be given a chance to win one! Thank you so much!
Mike- I’d love to have a copy of your book,throw my name in!The new format,training program sounds fun.
Most info I get from you is applicable to my situation and definitly worth the read. My cyber stetson is off to you.
Hi Mike,
How’s Pam and the kids, good I hope. I sure
would like a copy of your new book.
Jim
I have on your E-Mail list for many years and have always found the information useful. I am buying a home here in California and would like to go for it. I’m in for the free copy
Mike if it’s free it’s for me I enjoy your articles and helpful advise, thanks
Joe
Hi Mike,
I have enjoyed your very informative articles and tips on growing and propagating plants. I am retired and learning new things. Hopefully, I will get one of the copies of your book to encourage me to grow plants on a bigger scale to make some money.
Kay
Please count me in, Mike. Love your website!
I would love to have your back yard growing system. Thanks for giving them away!!
Yes!! sign me up for a chance at your new book. I am really “new” at this and have more questions than you can believe and with the dry weather really have missed out on a lot of starting my own plants. I have about 30 burning bushes and many spireas–you tell me I have the possiblity of thousands of starts but they are really drying up. Will definitely be smarter next year. Have a blessed day.
I have to say that I have enjoyed all your emails. It has kept me encouraged during a difficult time. Though my life has been changed forever, gardening has sustained me and will remain one of my passions. You have not only made it possible to continue even on a budget but to even make money and maybe one day make a livelyhood out of it. Many Thanks. Bless you and your family. Sincerely Rina.
Kids recently built me a green house, now would like to fill it with plants. Sounds like you have a fool proof plan so would like to get a copy, tossing my hat in the ring. Would give me something to do in retirement.
Mike,
What I love most about your books and newsletters is that they really offer GREAT information.
I’m handicapped and there are few things that I can still do and enjoy. Gardening is one of the things that I have loved for many years.
I can’t wait to see the new revised edition of your Backyard Growing System.
Thank YOU for sharing!
Great fun for summer and to get started for next year too!
Dear Mike,
I would love to have a business but I don’t think yours would work here we have 6 acres but our soil is kalecie and our water is jip, (has a high salt content) If you know what to do to change these problems please I would love your Backyard Growing System.My husband is disabled and I am 63 years old and live on Social Security. Could really use a money maker.
Just what I need to get started!
Hello Mike,
Love reading over your information. Lost my job last year and still looking for a new one – - but growing things out here on our acre-and-a-half may make more sense! Keep up your fun and informational site!
Kathy
I would love a free copy.
Please send me one- I never got around
to buying it.
Huum Mike, I thought you already covered it all.
What news could you possible have found now?

I would love a free copy!! Here’s my hat…
throwing my hat in Mike. Needing all the help and tips I can get. Thanks for everything so far.
Hi Mike , I would enjoy being a winner of your Backyard Growing System. I love getting your emails and the helpful topics. Good luck to all who enter this contest.
Thank you ,
Vikki
Now that I have retired, I’ve been paying attention to things that really matter in life: family,health, love. I’ve always enjoyed seeing plants grow but my job in teaching barely gave me time to admire the trees and flowers in my home. I want to be a student again, and I you strike me as an ideal teacher, committed to helping others, and above all unselfish to share your knowledge. Like you, I’m a believer in simplicity as the best tool to plant ideas successfully in the minds of your students. I only hope I’m one of the lucky winners of your Backyard Growing System.
I would love a copy of your book so I am putting my hat in the ring. I have been looking for an at home job since I can not find work. This would be a great help. Thanks
Here’s my hat too, Mike! Now that the kids are all raised, it’s my turn to play in the dirt! Thanks for all your wonderful information. It is so much appreciated!
I have often wondered how to supplement my daughter’s pet grooming commercial business. She already has a clientel coming through the door. If I could show them what Mike has to offer it could be the answer to my prayers. Thanks Mike for the opportunity to help others. Jim
After reading your newsletters for more than three years, I had finally decided to “go for it” and buy and try your system, here on the west coast of Canada. You’re timing couldn’t be better…and I’m feeling lucky. Thanks Mike.
I’ve benefited from the old Backyard Growing System, and I can’t wait for the new improved one. Good job !!!
Mike, Love your site and would love a chance at this. My hats in. Thanks
I’d love to have a copy. We are looking at ways/things to grow at our condo with the possibility of moving to a house to grow more in the future.
Thanks and Best Wishes!
Dave

Love your site. I’m in the ring.
many thanks for the opertunity you have given your readers to win a copy of your new book.Icould not afford the last one but thanks for the chance. your free advice on your websight has worked well for me Many Thanks Dave
I would be so very interested in a copy, as I have followed your site for the last 2 years and want so much to incorporate it into my lifestyle. I have received your emails for a long time, stuck in a small basement apartment with so little light that even clippings that I tried to keep alive would not last in the tiny window that I had there. We have finally moved (into a trailer) and have a small yard with lots of sunshine! Please consider me for one of the three! Sincerely and with lots of thanks
Danl
I love the information you share. Count me in for the chance for your new system!!
YAY! Free! Love everything you do Mike.
Thanks
Reading all your emails inspired me to plant a vegetable garden. I know it’s not your method but I thought I would slowly get back into gardening with vegetables first. If the vegetable garden was successful I would try plants your method. Well my vegetable garden was hugely successful so it has inspired me to start transplanting quick ornamental growers. If it wasn’t for your email and free ebooks I never would have started gardening again. Thank you for your constant encouragement. I look forward to your new publication.
I need all the help I can get!
Throw my name in the ring. Enjoy your news letters
I would love to have your new system, I am trying to start my own backyard growing business and this would be a huge help!
Please consider me for one of the copies too. Thank you.
I have a passion for trees and watching them grow. I’ve always been excited to get your emails and explore your website. I trust your knowledge and instincts and I would truly value it as a gift and put it to work. As a horticulture student with room to grow I would love to have a copy!
As long as it’s signed
You the man;)
I would love to be considered for your system. I will be retiring next year but don’t want to set around and do nothing. I love gardening and being outdoors. Sometimes it is hard to do here in Utah. My husband has been disabled since 2006 so my income is the only one besides his disability. Love all the items you post weekly, I read them all the time. Thanks so much for all the advice you give.
Thanks so much for your eMails! A copy of your new book would be a GodSend! Due to health concerns, I have my bad days & my not as bad days, I think others may not know this, but your writings are aimed at MEmeME, (like the rest of the world) I never knew how much I could actually get accomplished BM ( before Mike) I had to close down my catering business several years ago due to my health & in preparing to begin when the weather cools a bit, I have found another life for those take-out containers that I have just not had the heart to throw out (see hoarding 101) they were sooo danged expensive.I have about 400-500 Chinese take-out kinda boxes, I think they just might work! Watch out Garden Centers in Concord, NC, HERE I COME!!! THANKS Friend!

Living in Scotland, this doesn’t happen often enough. I’m also a single parent on a low wage, so no matter how much I would love your growing system book, I just can’t afford it. Not at the moment anyway. I also look forward to your emails, which have helped me out a few times,and have passed your details on to a number of likeminded friends. The work you do is fantastic, My dream…..Maybe one day! Thankyou Mike.
Christine
Cool! My son and I have been talking about starting a backyard growing business for quite a while. This would be the ultimate motivator. New Orleans is a semi-tropical climate, really wet. I hope your system is adaptable
.
Thanks for the info you email to me all the time. I really appreciate it. Keep the good work up. You have helped me a lot. Put my name in the hat please.
Thanks
Mike,I have enjoyed all the infomation that has been sent my way.I have a need to start this business asap.Aside from the enjoyment.My wife has had 3 strokes and now has uterine cancer.I believe this would help sidetrack us and help us financially.
I don’t have a hat to throw in the ring, but I still would love, love, love to get a copy. Wanted a copy of the old system, but didn’t have the money. Maybe you will consider me for one of the copies.

Can’t wait to read your new book. Hope I get one of the free ones. Thanks for all your tips, Mike.

I enjoy your blogs and help with all my backyard needs :0) would love the new version of your book !! lots of great info I’m sure !!! My Hat is in !!! :0)
I am an aspiring sustainable living convert. I found your website and have incorporated some of your ideas in my home. I have been out of a job for over a year and really enjoyed being home with my children. I am trying to put myself through school, nursing, because of all of my past experience I have been considered over qualified. So I am teaching my children the value of sustainable living. I find your work inspiring and while I am going to school I am trying to start my own business in natural living. Thank you for your inspiring ideas and please consider me in your drawing.
I would love one of your books to use up hear in Alaska.
Hi, Mike ~ I would love to be considered for one of your backyard growing systems … my granddaughter and I would like to “project” on this together and it would be an incentive to get her going on this … she is a true gardener and a great little saleslady! Thank you!
cant wait to hear more about the new book!
I would like to be considered for one of your free copies . My wife and I have been living with her parents for the 25 years (of our marriage) and have set of boy and girl twins.We have brought them up in this home, (levitt house on Long Island,NY)not a large home by any means with a small yard. They are grown now and still living with us.
Recently,Sadly, both her parents passed away (within 3 months of each other)We now own this home and instead of sharing costs we have the full cost of living ,mortgage, taxes, electric, oil, etc.
The backyard growing system could sure help our situation.I have been thinking about your product for these reasons.
Please consider “my hat” in the ring….
Thanks
Bill
Levittown,NY

My husband retired as a Baptist Pastor after 42 years last year . We are looking for a way to have income added to the SS we draw as retirement. This is something that we could do and look forward to your shared knowledge! We live in Florida where the weather is great for most plants. Thank you for the consideration of the free book to help us.
Mike, living in the middle of Phoenix, all rock, lol, moving to the country by the end of the year, I’m throwing in my one straw Madeline gardening hat. Thanks for everything

Jeanette Howell
Hi Dave,
I would like to be considered for a copy of your system. I’ve followed you for a while and know it works. I work with a group of inner city kids who I think would greatly benefit from your program. Thanks for your considration.
I have my fingers crossed to win a free copy! Hoping to make lots of baby plants this fall with my campanula.
Mike, I’ve been a subscriber for 10 years now and you have helped me in so many ways to grow plants here in SE Texas where it’s so hot and humid. I’d love a copy of your new books and CDs.
Here’s my hat – catch it and send me the info.
Alice
I’m also throwing my hat in the ring and you can keep it! I would love to have one of your free books though, your wealth of knowledge awesome.
I’d love a copy. Your advice is practical and easy to understand.
I’m looking forward to seeing this new system. Can’t wait
Mike,
I always enjoy your email letters. They are very informative.
Mike, I have learned so much from your website. I now root lots of bushes, mums and trees. I even save my bell pepper seed, dry them out, freeze them and plant them the next season. Then I make pepper relish which is a family favorite. Yes, I would like to have one of your free books…have tried many of your tips and they work!!!!!
I sure would love to be able to have a copy of your plan. I’ve been unemployed over a year, unemploymen has run out and I’ve finally found 2 days a week caring for an Alzheimers patient 46 milesaway. I love gardening and I love people…sounds like a perfect job. I don’t mind the work. But I wonder how well I could do here at 6600 ft. Short growing seasons and long cold winters. I’m gathering old glass for hot boxes or someday a greenhouse. The containers for air rooting you have shown look ineresting. We always did it with moss and cheese cloth. Well good luck to who ever wins.
Love the chance to be included in your drawing. Thanks
Love to get one of the new updated versions.
My sister and I love getting your e-mails to see what is hapening with you and the growing season.
That sounds great, please consider me for the giveaway. I would love to own it!
Hi dave please consider me for a copy as I work with inner city kids who i know will benefit from your program. Thanks for your consideration.

ThanKs
Oh boy! Toss my hat in the ring! The best place to go for information on japanese maples! Thank you!
Do not have a hat to toss in, but maybe I should get one? Seriously, just found you yesterday when I was looking for information on Japanese Red Maples. Wow, found way more than I expected and have thus changed my whole garden plan. Thanks big time.
I’m throwing my hat in the ring, hope it lands in your front yard.. I am disabled and could use some good news..This would certainly qualify.
Love your Email info so even if I don’t get free book I will look forward to getting them.
I was forced into early retirement and have decided to grow shrubbery & other plants to supplement my SS. I will need to get supplies and plants from your recommended sources as I do not have any at this time. Thanks Mike for producing your website
Had to go buy a hat to throw in the ring. Would LOVE a copy, Please!!
I’d love to win! Thank you for the opportunity!
I am currently unemployed and would love to get a copy of your book
Mike,
I have been following you for three years, since i came upon your site. I have always said, a true gardener always has an experiment going on. You have rekindled my passion for experimentation. I currently work for a big box store in the garden center and have come across a few of your backyard propagaters. I would so love to learn more and hopefully make some money at it. Thanks for the opportunity.
Therese Mroczkowski
I would like to be considered for one of your backyard growing systems. I’ve been following your websites for awhile and love the advice you give. Every time I’m about to buy your system, something happens in my life that sucks the money away, which has become a double frustration upon frustration for me. I love hearing all the good news and reading the posts. They encourage me to keep trying. Thank you.
My son Charles Menken
Just got out of the Marines and has great love for gardening.
While he is figuring out what he wants to do and looking for a job,
I thought he would like doing your program to make some money.
After the Marines for some reason he has a lot of debt.
Feel free to call him on his cell at
267 261 2725
I have learned a lot from your videos and would like to learn much more. Am moving in about 6 months and will have to start a new garden area. I am sure that the new system would be very helpful there. I am throwin’ my hat in the ring…
Moved from south Louisiana where it’s hot, wet and humid to Colorado. It’s 9300′, dry and windy. I’d love to get a free copy of your new product because I could use all the help I can get in this different climate. Love your emails!
Hello Mike,From a very wet and miserable Uk,I would love a free copy to help pass the time until the sun comes out again,I have loved all your email tips hope you keep ‘em coming.
Cheers.
I would love to have a copy of your book. It would be a tremendous help to my family and I.
Thank for considering me.
Joyce
I have been reading your newsletters for years and often use some of your hints especially for propagation. I am now retired and my brother lost his job. We were thinking that since we both love gardening, your Backyard Growing System sounds like the best idea. Please include me in your “giveaway”. Thank you for this offer.
I’d love to see the book, and find out if it’s possible for me to lose this black thumb of mine
I would love a free copy. My backyard is slowly turning into a jungle and I am desperate to change it. Making money by doing something I love would be an added bonus, so I am also throwing in my hat.
I need some help!
Thank you.
i love all your gardening tips. i would love to receive a free copy of your new book!
Love all the gardening knowledge you have so graciously shared over the years! My hat is in the ring.
Put my name in the basket! Thanks Wayne
Hi Mike
I would love to get one of the copies of the new backyard system I have wanted to buy your system for quite a while but just don’t seem to have the money I follow your emails your website and you have given me so many wonderful ideas
Even if I don’t win a copy please keep the emails and videos coming and have a wonderful day
I have enjoyed your emails for years and as retirement is close, this could be what I need. In goes my hat
I want to throw my hat in the ring also.
Hey Mike… I would love to have a FREE copy of your new growing system! FREE is my favorite “F” word! ( but not the one I say the most) I hope I am a lucky winner.
I hopelessly love to be in the garden.I would love to recieve your new backyard gardening system as you have given me alot of information from your website.I propagate, see little plants growing and let them get to a certain size and do experiments with all types of plants. I collect seeds from plants that of interest to me and try to grow them. I have little income and don’t buy alot of things for the garden but it all seems to turn out well. I love your website!!!!
Please throw my hat into the ring. Would like to know all about the latest information and tips about your systems.
Hi Mike,
My wife and I live on four acres, so we’ve got plenty of space to grow a lot of “backyard” plants.
Japanese Maples are my big weakness. I’ve never met one I didn’t like. In fact, I love ‘em all. And we’ve got several varieties planted around our “estate.”
I really enjoy reading your growing tips (and watching your videos).
I’d love to get a copy of your new, updated Backyard Growing System.
Thanks!
John R. Cumbow
I too would love a copy of your new book. Thanks for your free gardening tips as well.
I love getting your emails and find the information there very helpful. I have been diagnosed with MS and find about the only thing I can do with my disability is garden. I would love to have one of your programs to start a growing system.
Thanks for your consideration.
To start with I love your emails . I wait can’t wait till they come . Like a little kid waiting for the mailman to come. Usually every other day , but sometimes a little longer in between. ( please excuse the spelling and gramer I am sitting here in the garden with my rooster on my lap and he is trying to help type LOL ) when your emails don’t come when expected I always check the spam to make sure they didn’t land there . The advice and information is just great. I would love to get a free copy of your program . I’m living in Germany but from N.C. I was wanting to buy you other program to read through . Not sure when it would pass here or not , But wanted to check it out to see if it is something for my brother. Who is trying to start a pick you operation for when he retires. Small plants and field grown plants would be better and more reliable than blueberries in my opinion . So I actually want 2 programs one for me to read through and use what I can here in Germany , and the second one for my brother so he could get a good base started of something when he retires. So I would love one of the first 3 copies . Then I could buy the second copy for him. LOL and don’t let where I live effect your decision on me getting a copy
because you can send it to North Carolina for I’m there 2 times a year. I am also self employed so I know the hard work that goes. Into a project and would never use one of your programs for 2 people Thanks Kenny. Berlin Germay
I cant afford to buy a copy maybe ill be one of the one you will get a copy too.
Oooh! This sounds utterly delicious, Mike.
I would love to have your new book, heck I’d take your old book!:)
Consider my hat thrown in.
I would like to be considered for the free copy of the growing system. I have 28 acres of land ready to be put to good use.
I would love a copy of your new book. My son and I both like to garden. Having this book would give him more understanding on the subject. He is on disability and this would help support him.
Thank you
Mike,
I have been following your emails for years and always look forward to reading them..I have an ideal rural house and have probably 2 acres to use. I am recently retired and would like to start a growing program here to utilize my property and provide plants for the retail market.
My hat size is a 71/2 if that helps!
**throws hat wildly into ring**
I would love a free copy of your new book! I’ve been out of work for several months and having a hard time finding a job. I would love to put your system into practice as a home business. Thank you for considering my “hat in the ring”.
I’ve been looking at your system for some time now…hopefully, this is the time for me to get started. Again, thank you!
Looking forward to the book and DVD`s.
Hi Mike,
I love getting your emails and all the information you share Thank You. I would love to receive a copy of your new book Small Plants, Big Profits from Home. I only have ½ an acre and would love to make good use of it. Thank You for the chance to win!
I’m sure you wont want it this year but here goes my Red Sox hat
I would love a copy. I so love reading your site.
Mike I read and enjoy each email you send and have looked thru all the great advise on your website. I need to get myself going towards the backyard nursery system. I am getting to old to work in the heating and air conditioning business. I have tried many of your ideas and they have been fruitful. I just can’t seen to get my life together enough to make a business out of it yet. I would like to have the added advise available in this offer.
Thanks Dave
I was going to keep my hat until I watched your video on Harry Lauders walking stick. Two years ago I purchased a plant at a garage sale because I like unusual and cheap. I haven’t been able to find out what it is. No one seems to know. It has a leaf similar to a geranium, has white blotches near the edges but the main stem or trunk is like the walking sticks you show in your video. Maybe I’m closer to knowing what it is just because I take the time to check out the newsletters you send me. Even if I don’t get the book thanks for this info very much. Jackie.
I enjoy all the info you send would like to be considered for your new systematically
This sounds like something I could do!!!! I’m semi-retired (forced) and could use the additional income!!! Here’s hoping I am one of the lucky three!!!!
Hat in. I am a student paying for school by selling arborvitaes. Would love to venture into others!
Really good of you to do this Mike. I can really afford one and will purchase one when on market. I really enjoy your newsletters! Thanks, Tom
Thanks Mike, throw my hat in the ring too.
Hi Mike
I’ve been following you since I stumbled across one of your videos on YouTube about a year ago. I’ve learned a lot from your websites and your clips, and my daughter and I have been enjoying bringing on plants and trees from seeds and cuttings, even if the summer has been really poor over here in bonnie Scotland!
We would love to be considered for your new Backyard Growing System…
Best wishes
Gordon
Hey, Mike, you certainly have gotten me excited about plant propagation techniques. I told a buddy of mine about it, and he immediately asked me if I would start with Gardenia Cuttings. He wants 6 – 8 for his yard, and so began another addition to my already busy schedules. I am using my screened-in front porch, and already ran out of room, so I have pulled back a little. Gardenias, Camellias, Roses, Magnolias, and Hydrangeas. You certainly have a unique down-to-earth way of getting ideas across, especially with your own hands-on demos of your techniques. My Mini-Greenhouses are inverted 56 Quart Clear Totes. Boy, do they work great. Thank you so much for helping me use up more of the time that I really need to use to be doing other things. By the way, I live in a Town, and don’t have a lot of room to do much in my back yard. Must have been beach frontage here several hundred years ago. The soil gets dry, really dry, within several hours after a major Rain and Thunderstorm move through. Have a great day, and continue with your great efforts. I look forward to your weekly E-Mail alerts. May God Bless You and your Family always.
Consider my hat in the ring
Thank you
Pam
I need a copy because I don’t know s&@t about gardening!! Help!!
Would Love to get a Copy of your new plans, As I live in VA and it looks like that no matter how much I try I just can’t get much to grow, with your new program maby I can have better luck the next go around and I can show the others what I did with the help of your son and you, Everything is in full bloom now!!!Thanks for all you do for us.
Please add my name for a chance at the free backyard growing system.
Mike, I can’t decide if I enjoy your emails for the information you give or the entertaining way you inform us. My hat is the one doing fancy, dancey, dizzy circles. Keep up the great work. You’re tops. Bookless or not, we are cheering for you all the way.
Go Mike, GO!!!!
I would love to be selected to received one of the copies of the book and other material. We grow some plants but need to improve the success rate and be more scientific in our approach.
i would like to be considered. i love your emails and very informative.
I am currently growing and Hybridizing Daylilies but would like to expand my horizons with tree propagation. i live in zone 8 so the only Maples I’ve had any luck with is the Swamp Red Maple which is native to this area. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Hey Mike,
Throwing my hat in the ring also I have a few acres here in Lenoir nc I sure would like 1 of your books! Thank you Ray
Would love to have one of these free copies. Would love to start having plant sales next spring. Thanks for all the advice Mike!
Wonderful I can not wait and def. Love to get a copy. We are taking photos of how our gardens look andthe produce. Thanks for all your tips!!
I am currently on SSDI and could really use something like your system to get back on my feet & off the SSDI.
Thanks
Mike since I have been following you I have learned it is not impossible to make baby plants. I find it hard to prune any plant and compost the clippings because I feel like I am throwing away money. This year I have succeeded with propagation of plants I’ve never tried before. Just need to learn other aspects of the biz. Thanks for the confidence!
I found your site while doung research for a Biology class. I really enjoyed the online lesson you gave on plant propagation, so consequently downloaded your free book. I would love to win your gift you are offering, so im throwing in my big sun hat!
Whether i win or not, i thank you for tbe wealth of information you share with your greatful followers which i can count myself one of.
Hi Mike and Dustin, I would love to receive your book as I am getting into the selling and swapping of seeds and bulbs and would love to know more about plants and how to raise them. I have a group on Facebook that is so exciting to see everyone’s flowers and trading seeds to get our flower gardens beautiful. It’s great what you are doing and if you have any advice or would like to join my group you would be more than welcome..https://www.facebook.com/groups/456722204367443/ and I hope everyone else that reads this will join my group also. I’ve made some wonderful friends. Thank you.I wish everyone luck on winning..
Hello Mike
I would love a copy to give to my mother who is on a fixed income and strugling to make ends meet. Thanks for all the imformation that was provided in the first copies which turned out to be priceless.
Mike, I have been growing berries for the last 8 years, started some trees last year, plan to add blue berries and cherry trees this spring. Building compost using grass trimmings, leaves, and steer manure. I have really enjoyed all the wonderful blogs you have sent out. They are priceless, I save them all. I do hope I may receive one of the free books as I’m sure it’s priceless as well. Any of your advice on pruning black & red raspberries would be of great help this fall. Drought and weed control have nearly killed my business this year.
I am a master gardener and enjoy your writings very much. Do you do lectures?
Mike,
I love this plant, and all of your wonderful tips that you give us. Each year, I try growing a new plant. This one would be PERFECT for me to try. All of my friends say I have a green thumb. I would love to try and try and test out their theory on this plant! Thank You,
Sheryl
I would love to win a free copy of your product.
Hi Mike!
I would love to be considered for the chance to win one of your new books and Backyard Growing Systems! I am a Master Gardner who’s still learning about proprogating and growing plants. Much of what I’ve learned is from reading your e-mails and watching your videos. Thanks for the wonderful educational opportunities! Keep calm and garden on!
since I will turn 80 next month,I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in life, and since I enjoy “digging in the dirt” as my grandson says,this sounds like the right path. Thank you,John M.
Hi Mike,
Everytime I get one of your emails, I think “ooh, my friend with a spectacular tip”, open it right away and often discuss the tip of the day with my husband of nearly 5o years, also Mike. We have used so many of your tips, especially lawn care and preparing the ground for planting. Thank you and here comes my straw hat!
Would love a copy. Thanks so much for offering. May God continue to bless all your efforts
I would like to be considered for the giveaway. I am an avid reader of your site and would love to own a copy of the book. Small yard with lots of potential!! Even water gardening!! Thanks, Mike!

I have your other book “Easy Plant Propagation”. I’m new at this and have only been 1/2 way successful in propagation, I am selling at my local farmer’s market. I would sure love the help, and need it, with your new book and DVDs. Thanks for being there for all of us newbie’s.
I would like a copy of your new book and System.I’m throwing my hat in the ring.
We have always enjoyed working in our garden. Our home and garden were ravaged by the 9/8/2011 flood, Susquehanna River. While waiting for our home to be renovated, living in a FEMA trailer, we enjoyed reading all your goodies and are looking forward to implementing them next spring. We would love to have a free copy of your new book. Thanks for all your good input and advice…Two hats are in…Happy Autumn..
Thanks, Mike. Here’s my hat in the ring for a chance to win one of the free copies of your book. I enjoy your advice and have learned alot from your videos.

I would love to have a free copy.
Thanks for considering me.
You have the best ideas for making money. My husband is now retired and we are very interested in doing something like this. Thanks for the opportunity to get in the drawing for a free gift.
What a wonderful opportunity.
Just in time for my new shed and potting tables
I read this wonderful site every time it comes. There is always something to learn although my growing environment here in Santa Barbara California is slightly different than your (Especially in the Summer and Winter and Spring and Fall.)
Thanks for what you do. Your story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever had to start over.
Tom
I want to throw in my hat. I want to try this out.

I would love to have your book, Mike. I enjoy your ideas and new tricks to keep my plants and greenery alive and looking great.
Hi Mike,
I’ve enjoyed reading your tips for years-even though I’ve not had my own space to work. I just like learning, and you make it interesting. I’d love to give this to my dad so that when he retires soon, he can finally make use of his fertile space.
Thanks!
Ditto! Who can’t use something FREE, especially something that could help someone make money doing something they already love doing.
I am pitching my hat in. I enjoy reading your e-mails and watching the videos. Very informative. Thanks.
Mike,
My hat’s in… would really like to see any updated information you can provide … just did some heavy duty clearing on my property to make room to do this…
Thanks
Please put my name in the hat for a free growing system!
I have been following your site for a long time now and would love to win one of your Backyard Growing Systems. We love your hints.
My hat is now in the ring.
Mike,
I have enjoyed your articles and encouragement from the very fist time you went on line. I even have a notebook with all of your tips and hints. I have a small country nursery and have tried to implement your instructions on growing and selling plants with some small success. Money is rather tight at present and customers are appreciative of the plants I have for sale. Thanks for staying with us and keeping us inspired. Carol
I am always trying to find ways of improving my growing methods. So your info could help me in ways that I could only dream of…Hats in the Ring.
Looking forward to the updated info and congrats on the new book. Hats off!
Been a year ,still contemplating,where and how do I start. Maybe this new book will give me the final push to dive in.
sure put my name in the hat.
Regards,Anis
Mr. Mike
I started saving all your e-mails in april 2010 and joined your Backyard Growing System in july 2010.I have enjoyed all your e-mails,tips,and information on how to make plants grow.I been wanting to get on the message board so i can buy plants from yall.but my income will not let me.I would like to be considered in your drawing.Thanks
please enter me.
thank you for Mike for all that you do. My hat is in the ring. Your reputation for helping others is widely known. Your service to this community of wanna-be nursery folks is immensely appreciated!
Me too
I look forward to your email and would love to be able to make some money as my husband is ready to retire.
I would like to receive a copy of the new revised Backyard Growing System because of the valueable information you share with us all is priceless. This will definitely be a system that we as growers would appreciate for years to come. Rather we are a newbie or a veteran at growing, you take care of us all.
I’m throwing my hat in for a free copy Mike!
would love to see your “free backyard growing system”
Thank you
I have used several of your ideas from e-mails. I like to grow plants that produce some kind of food for me or my animals.I am always looking for improved ideas.Your new book will have lots I am sure!!
I have truly loved your knowledge and expertise!! I’m an avid Gardner and have learned quite a bit! I am looking forward to your new DVD n book set!! I hope to be a “Lucky 3!!”. Thank you for everything!! Diana
I’ve enjoyed your newsletter for almost two years now, and there’s always something interesting. Please consider my hat for the free book contest. If my hat doesn’t win, please consider me.
Mike, I really appreciate all the tips you give us. It’s a struggle trying to initiate & maintain a good crop here in the desert of AZ, but slowly and surely, I’m turning it into an oasis. Even if I don’t qualify for a free book, I will continue to read your articles. Thanks again, La Mousette
Oh yes and deedee, I want my hat in there.Ihavent potted much,but got my areas prepared.Hopefully no weeds to fight next spring.Doing mostly berries and grapes,I had few proplems starting some of the other stuff.Heat was terrible ,Love you Mike
Add me to the list.
Thank you.
Mike, I’ve been enjoying your newsletter for three years now and would absolutely love a free copy!
Mike,
Oh, how I would love to be one of your winners. Please consider this post as my entry. My husband used to tell me that if I could make a nickel for everytime he saw me digging in the dirt, I would be wealthy. Thank you for all that you do for us and the great information.
Thanks for all your great advice and instruction, Mike. I love horticulture but have no training ini it and would put your new growing system to good use. I like online info, hubby likes hard copies so please include us I your drawing.
Please enter me in your free backyard growing system. I have used your hints in building a rooting bed, and had great success rooting hibiscus, sage, many other plants in our yard.
I’ve been following your site and receiving your newsletters for sometime now and have always wanted to have your backyard growing system. Unfortunately, a devastating divorce left me virtually penniless and no one wants to hire someone who is 62 years old, even though I am educated and in excellent health. I also have the responsibility of caring for my 87-year-old parents. I LOVE gardening, have a good-sized area in which to work and would truly be grateful for the opportunity! Thanks so much!
I would like to have a copy of your new book. I do better with a hard bound book than something downloaded from the computer even though I put it in a binder. I have enjoyed the information I have and have been successful in rooting some plants. Thanks for your help and please enter me into your contest. Thanks!
Hi Mike, I would love to have a copy of your book. Everytime I need a question answered I run to the PC to see if you have any info. I have learned a lot fron your ideas and teachings in the Backyard. I am throwing my hat in and hope to catch a copy. By the way, couldn’t make the shindig, I had 2 granddaughters headed off to college and it seems like all summer has been spent getting them ready, with visiting colleges and all and both going in a different direction.Good luck with the new program.
I am fairly new to gardening and sure could use as much help as I can get. In the next few years I hope to turn my love of gardening into a small business, as I am not able to work outside of my home. Any considerating would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Mike,
I have gotten a lot of great ideas, especially propagation techniques, from your blog. And each year this country gardener seems to grow. I’m throwing in my hat!
Thanks
I throw in my hat. Starting my own business would be great.
Count me in, Mike.
I would love to receive a “free” copy of your book. I have enjoyed reading your newsletters and especially your videos on the Japanese Maples. I have 2 in my yard and plan on getting 3 more. I hope I’m one of the ones you pick out of that hat!
It would be an honor to receive one of your books! Judy
You’re so generous, giving three systems away! Thank you so, so much…
Hi Mike, I’d appreciate a free growing system! I have enjoyed your newsletters for years. I am always amazed at how timely and useful they are. I will think of a gardening question, and a day or two later there is your newsletter with the information! Uncanny! I would love to grow Japanese maples using your system. Thanks!
Hopefully, I will be one of the Lucky 3 to win the
” Backyard Growing System”. My backyard needs a lot of help! We have been in this home for 20 years and fighting our backyard as long. It needs help!
I would LOVE a copy! Please count me in on that drawing! Thank you!
Mike, I would LOVE to win the new book. Since my husband died 3 months ago and I lost 3/4 of my income, I have been looking seriously at your system. He was ill for so many years and as I was his 24/7 caregiver, I just didn’t have the time to devote to your program. I do now and am trying to find something to do from here at home. I have implemented several of your tips from your news letters and love reading your emails. Soooooo, I am officaly throwing my hat into the ring to try and won your new book and the DVD’s. Thank you for your time and devotion to making the world a better and prettier place!
Thanks again,
Toni
Mike, I have learned so much from your emails, I think of myself as a winner, but would still like to through my hat in the ring for a free copy of your new system.
Thanks
Norman
Hi there,
We’re moving to a new little 5 acre farm this fall, and one of the things I’m most looking forward to is becoming a Backyard Grower! So grateful that you even thought to run a give away.
Throw my hat in the ring! I have enjoyed your site for about 3 years when i got into plants. Thanks for all the advise it has come in handy!
I am throwing my hat in! I would love to receive a free copy. I love your e-mails and look forward to continuing to learn more from you. Thanks for the opportunity.
Here’s my hat, thanks for the chance to get your books. We just bought a farm and they would really come in handy to get things going the right way.
Thank you for all the good info. I enjoy.
I’ve been thinking of ordering your growing system for awhile. I surely could use some extra money. I’ve always enjoyed propagating plants for my own use. My hesitation is that I have Parkinson’s. Most of the time I can get around pretty well, then I’ll have a bad day & I think maybe I shouldn’t try. I would like to throw my hat in. If my name is picked, I would love to give it a try.
Loved your video on air layering. I’m rooting out a bunch of fig tree cuttings right now. If they take we’ll move on to air layering. Sure would love to have a copy of your backyard growing system. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to get it. I have a small backyard. And got plenty of time,cause I’m unemployed. This would enable me to make a living with nature.
Here’s my hat Mike so pleae…..pick me, pick me, oh please please please.
Need help. Seems like my daughter and I have brown thumbs when it comes to growing. We have been trying at least 2 years to start a garden and now finally have one tomato plant and one green pepper plant. We have had pumpkins started and get a good size then die on us. We really want to get things to grow so we can have fresh vegies for ourselves and some of our neighbors and family. Thank you
Truly enjoy your plant tips, so educational and practical.
Sounds great!
Please pick me to receive a free copy of your book. Thank you
I would love to have your book. The wife and I read every one of your emails and we have already put some of them to use. We have four Japanese Maples we need to put in the ground now and we need all of your help. Please anybody that is good with these trees can send any info and all the help you want.
Thanks,

Thanks

Here’s my hat Mike….so please…pick me, pick me, oh please, please, please
Hi Mike
Yes, please include my name in the hat. I am trying to help my daughter, a single mom, to provide food for two growing teenagers. It is a challenge in this rocky Ozark soil. But all your excellent tips and encouragement have helped me to produce some great fruit and veggies. Thank you! Thank you!
Feel very fortunate I found and subscribe to your site, have put your words of wisdom to good use and slowly seeing results! As we all know nothing grows in a day. Looking forward to your new book …good luck to all of us! Thanks Mike, keep up the great work!
I read your newsletter start to finish every time it arrives and have benifitted from several of your tips. I just bought my first home and now have room to try and get up and running!
I’m sold! Hats in! Thx Mike for all your knowledge. ; P
Would like a free copy of your book. I have learned a lot and am still learning from info on PC. I am throwing in my hat for a free copy!:)
Mike, you rock!
I only have one hat. I am throwing it in the ring. waiting for a new copy.
I would like to throw my name into the hat. I have always wanted to try this system, but could never afford it. I come from a long line of farmers and gardeners, and am trying to share this heritage with my granddaughter. I have been unemployed for the past 2 years,divorced and am living with my grown son and his family. Maybe this could be a way for me to have a fresh start.
throwing in my straw hat for a free copy…:)
Would like to have a copy of the book. Am in the process of buying a 5-10 acre plot of land and want to be able to grow many different plants. Have enjoyed reading about all your short cuts and ways to keep plants healthy.
I’m throwing it all in, hat, shovel, hoe, trowl for the new book. Enjoy all the info you give us.
I would very much like to win the new system. I can’t imagine what you could have improved on but I am very excited to dive in right after I win!
Hi Mike
I have enjoyed so many of your helpful hints and ideas. I am retired but had to go back to work part time so my gardens have suffered. I am throwing my garden hat in the ring. Would love to be considered for your new book. Thanks and please keep on sending those helpful blogs.
Molly
Here’s my hat coming into the ring. Thanks!!
Mike,
I am an Air Force veteran and a semi-retired photographer. My plan is to have an organic garden on my approximately acre of land where I will grow herbs and veggies for local restaurants.
Having one of your Backyard Growing Systems would be a terrific guide.
Thank you.

I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE T HAVE YOUR NEW COPY. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOUR SITE. I LIVE IN A WOODED AREA AND THE DEER ARE ALWAYS AROUND. I DO MY BEST TO DISCOURAGE THEM FROM EATING MY PLANTS. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE IDEAS IN THIS AREA. PLEASE PUT MY NAME IN THE POT. THANK YOU, SINCERELY
Free is good! Count me in.
Sounds good free stuff
I have loved gardening my entire life. Now, with MS hindering me to the point of not walking or having balance, I just tell my husband what to do, lol. We could surely use the income, and would absolutely love the new information on your backyard growing system. My husband has finally found that ‘special love’ of growing plants. I call flowers, shrubs, & trees some of God’s greatest gifts! I look at each one, and wonder.. what was He thinking? We both get your newsletter, and we thank you Mike. God bless you and yours.
You have some of the most practical, useable advice anywhere on the Internet.
I’m sure your new books will reflect that.
Please consider me for a free copy.
Tom
I’m recently semi-retired, though not by choice. I’ve wanted a backyard nursery for years, so rather than consider my unexpected semi-retirement a misfortune, I choose to see is as an opportunity to do something I love. Consider my floppy, tattered hat in the ring!
Here’s my hat. Would love to have the new materials.
I love to be in my flower beds but they don,t like me very well. I just can not get things to grow. I would love to know what to do about that.Help, Lu
Mike: Have enjoyed your newsletters for over five years and been interested in your system but have not been sble to afford it.
Please consider my hat in the ring!
Mike,
I have been following your emails faithfully. I have learned so much. I have a very similar weather planting, since I live in Kentucky. “Would love to throw my hat in!”
I am a professional horticulturist and have been getting good advice from you for years. Keep up the good work!
Hello Mike I would love a copy of your book.. Now that I am in a bigger place with more room I have much plans and your back yard system is just what I am looking for… Thank you for the free offer your giving everyone…
I have always enjoyed your knowledge that you have shared with us.Please put my straw hat in the ring.
Hi Mike, I would love to throw my hat into the ring. I love to watch your videos. Your video on roses helped me and my husband so much! Thanks sooo much!! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Please
My husband and I have been doing some experimenting with propagating grapes, elderberries and chokecherries as well as some herb starts. We’ve wondered what your system was like but weren’t able to ‘buy’ it. So of course we would love to ‘win’ !!!
Please add me to the hats being thrown into the ring.
I am wanting to do this in my town home area. I am looking forward to being able to have my own business.
I am finding I very much enjoy what you are sharing.
I looK forward to a chance to do something that will help my family and teaching my children about plants too. Thanks for all you do
Hey Mike, I’d loved to be considered for the give away. Financially, like everyone else, we are struggling right now and the give away maybe the god send we’ve been hoping for.
Hi, Thank you so much so your newsletter. I have often used the info and love your stories. You and your family feel like neighbors. Thank you for the offer to be in the running for a Backyard Growing System.
Blessings Always, Jeanne
I am very interested in receiving your system! My garden grows well now with a lot of your help!
Mike,
You are very warm and personal. I read every post as there is always something to learn and I feel like you are a nice neighbor. The Internet has opened this and you have made it friendly and personable with great advice.
Thanks for inviting us into your world.
Perhaps I will be selected for a free copy but I am sure you will spill the beans in your e-mails.
Dave
if your web site was any better I couldn,t stand it!!! love to have a copy.
Hey, Mike! Please throw my hat in the ring! I have been trying to grow cut flowers but it is physically too much for me to handle with my disability…I think a switch to propagation of smaller plants would help me better handle this as a business for supplemental income!
I certainly would like to have a copy. thoroughly enjoy your informative emails.
I’d love a copy of your program. I’ve been experimenting using plastic tubs & white trash bags and it looks pretty promising.
My hats off to you & in the ring. Have enjoyed your emails filled with so much information. Actually my son is the one that makes use of the info and this would be a great surprise gift for him. Thank you for your free and interesting emails please keep doing them, you bring joy to many!
Mike I have thoroughly enjoyed your tips and advice on growing small plants and how to grow plants and make money while you have fun. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Please just let me be lucky this time and earn my “green thumb”. I have 10 acres in Caulfield Missouri with lots of Pine Trees, Rocks, Raccoon, coyotes, chickens, bob cats, deer and rabbits. I am throwing my hat as hard as I can and hope it gets past Dayton where I was born and makes it to Perry, Ohio. Can you see it yet? How ’bout now?
This may be the idea I’ve been looking for. Please, throw my hat in the ring.
Your always up to something, Mike. How about giving away some of that energy you have? Looking forward to your newest project.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity Mr. McGroarty. I have wanted to purchase your program for some time now but just haven’t been able to put together the finances, but such is life. I would really like to get this business going here in Oklahoma. Maybe this is my opportunity, God willing! Throw my hat, cap, and any other head covering in the ring. Thanks again for all of your knowledge and generosity. Take care and may Gid continue to bless you and your business.
Would love to receive a free copy for my Birthday that is Sept 1 or a copy for my wife on her Birthday that is Sept 24. Thanks Mike for all the Great Information.
I would love your new book. I have learned so much from your advice. I have also sheared your information with friend,s and family. I like all the commets I,ve read too.
Would love one of your new systems. Watch your videos, you’re an excellent teacher.
Hey, Mike! Please throw my hat in the ring! I have been trying to grow cut flowers but it is physically too much for me to handle with my disability…I think a switch to propagation of smaller plants would help me better handle this as a business for supplemental income! I’d love a copy of your new book to give it a try! Thanks!
Alway look forward to getting your e-mails and your various “How To Video’s.” With 2 1/2 acres around my retirement home I have toyed with the idea of starting a small plants business but I just haven’t had the nerve to dive in. Mike, I marvel at your energy and zest for life. You have a geniune way of motivating your readers. I am tossing my hat into a (hopeful) winner’s circle…maybe there’s hope for me, yet!
Staying Inspired…… E Sue
Hey Mike
I have really enjoyed all your information that you have took your time to share with us.I love your site.Please consider me in your drawing
I’m tired of only growing vegetables,,AND if I won one of these books it would get me off my rear and do something constructive in my retired life. lol
Hello Mike great to hear of your new book and DVD collection. I wish you the best success. I have been reading your emails on plant techniques and very much enjoy the videos. I am a monk living in the ashram of my Guru in North Carolina and before that in Northern California. My life has always revolved around plants and I am currently farming at our location near the ashram. I have long dreamed of the back yard growing system as a viable source of income for our non profit religious group. Taking a vow of poverty I have very limited funds but I would love to have a copy of the new system. Either way I hope I will be able to get a copy to begin the joy of back yard growing. -Daniel
Dear mike
please send the freebies.
i an a person from 40
years of growing and selling and I need to learn how to make money..
Thankyou.
Sincerely Sheila
Mike,
Consider me for that special prize. I grow herbs all year round and love to educate the kids about the benefits of herbs. Cheers….
Enjoy your plant propogation methods. Please sign me up to win the new product!
Thanks!
Mike,
I have been an avid follower of your plant mastery for a few years now. In that time, I have learned more from your postings and videos than in all the years I have been “dabbling” in gardening. My time is limited due to financial obligations and yet I find gardening so relaxing and rewarding, that I will make the time to reap the rewards. I’d love a chance to see what you and your son have created. Please consider me a devout fan and follower and give me the chance to learn more from your experience. Wishing you and yours the best, Gary.
What an opportunity we are being given. I have downloaded the free book & will wait with baited breath to see if I have won the free giveaway.
Mike You always give good advice about landscaping. Some of the things you say not to do I already did like the landscape weed stop. I put it in my flower bed, now I am digging up some of the old bulbs and dividing them. I have the old crap there and I still got grasses growing on top.
I am a Hoosier girl learning to garden in Florida. Your ideas and emails have been very helpful. I know your free Backyard Growing System would work down here in the land of sun (and rain!). Please consider my hat in the ring. Thanks so much!
Yes, free is very generous of you and it would be greatly appreciated. I have the space, the time, and ready to go.
Pick me, pick me!
Gina
I love folowing your newsletter and although I would love your book I don’t plan on growing and selling plants just want to learn more esp for starting my own garden plants i killed a whole trailer load full last spring My son thinks i over watered them
Here in Arkansas, it should be a good chance to sell lots of plants, as a lot of shrubbery died during the drought here this year. 2 small 1minute showers since April, 2012 until August, 2012. I lost almost every shrub in my yard along with fruit trees (about 40. I have a large space set-up for rooting cuttings with raised beds filled with sand and compost/shredded bark all ready to go and misters. Just need to get well to get going.
Yes I would like to win your new system book and DVD’s.

My firefighter helmet is hereby tossed :~D
I have enjoyed getting your emails with so much information in them. I like your down to earth messages. I would really like to learn more about how to start a little plant growing business. I wish you the best with your new books and format.
Your system sounds intriguing! I have profited from your news letter and I’m curious about starting a backyard plant business.
Dear Mike;
I have enjoyed your site for many years. My husband and I have a landscaping business and I use your insight for many of our projects. I have wanted to start a backyard garden for years, but school and work get in my way.
I would love to get started with a backyard growing system.
God Bless, Cindy
I am throwing my hat in the ring from high in my Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I would dearly LOVE the free book
hi Mike
Thanks for all your helpful information that you have shared.
Iwould love to win your system cause where i live there is no nurserys up here not anything close. So i think a fair profit could be made and i love gardening and im retired and am in my gardens all the time and it would be nice to make a few dollars while im already enjoying gardening and propagating. Hats in I hope.
My husband and I were trying to come up with the money to buy your product. I’m glad now we didn’t because I would much rather have the new system. The new book would give us a jump start. Thanks for your very informative blog. It’s great. We never miss reading your email,as a matter of fact I have a folder set up and I save them all. May the Lord bless your business and enlarge your territory. We’er in the ring with our hats and feet and ready to run the race
Thanks mike for the wonderful opportunity.
i would like to be considered for a copy.
here’s my hat.
would like to learn from your system – and make some money
mike, i delete half my inbox every day, but never your posts. i’ve watched many of your videos and you have helped me with grafting, transplanting and all kinds of plant care. you’re a valuable resource!
Recently retired, and the garden is not doing well at all. I welcome all help I know your guide will provide.
Hi Mike,
enjoy reading your fun & info filled newsletters. Have been considering your method of supplementing my income, as it would be a labour of love, but so far have not found the time needed to get started. [Have to work on that.] I live in zone 3, so plants have to be winter-hardy here, yet able to stand dry, hot summers. Meanwhile, my sun-hat’s in the ring, & it just might be the inspiration I need. Thanks for the opportunity. ~ Ann
Hi Mike OH YEAH!!! Count me in..I LOVE your material and the way you put it out here 4 us..UR a very Gifted and Talented Young man…Thank U 4 all that U do….
Would Awesomely Love & Appreciate receiving your gifted work and talent to practice in my back yard and learn how to make some extra cash…Love you and yours….Geri
It’t be nice to have something good to read while I’m laid up after surgery this week, so I can plan for the blessings of spring – count me in. Thanks
I’ll be retiring in a couple of years and gardening is my “retirement plan”. I’ve already used some of your ideas and would like to try more to see how they work north of the border. A ‘free’ copy of your system would make a nice (early) retirement gift. Thanks for your inspiration.
I would love a copy! Thanks for giving us a chance to win one! I enjoy your newsletter…so much information!
Thanks!
Put my hat into the ring also. I am ready to win.
Have been keeping on eye on this for a long time. Would love to get it for free! I am a teacher and would use it as a project for my students and a fundraiser for the school!
I would love your free book. Our zones differ so save all your posts and use them when they apply. I did propagate some shrubs this year like you said and will sell next year alondg with my perennials
Mike, I’ve been reading everything I can on your website and emails,. I have not purchased your backyard system as I’m currently deployed to Afghanistan but set to return home this Fall, just in time to winterized my apple trees and start pruning others as the go dormant. Please consider me when selecting 3 winners for your new system. Thank you for sharing all your secrets.
I would love to have the ability to learn more about horticulture and added information that I have already learned from your site. Sure, i want to gain knowledge, but it would also be great to allow my kids to get involved and learn that hard work can translate into a labor of love. All of my kids, which are all under 11 Absolutely love gardening, and this training will build on this love while teaching them not only the value of hard work but skills that they can enjoy for there lifetime and pass down to their kids as well
Please, please, please, pick me! I’m still trying to get my childhood 5 acre farm livable and get the plant/food biz going. I had a plant sale here in town and no one wanted any plants except my strawberry plants growing in planter boxes in the driveway.
Hi Mr.M.McGroarty.. I would love to win a free copy of your new book.. I went from a very large garden to #2 strips of garden space about 3ft.W. x 8ft.L. I use as much as I can but have problems with sun light and shade.. heck I would be pleased to win an old Backyard Growing System book sir. Well thanks for Your time. And have a good day.. ( I hope I got My hat far enough into the ring )
This sounds like a great opportunity to get my feet wet. Thank you very much for considering me
I enjoy reading and learning from you and would like to be considered for a free copy of your new book.
Count me in on the drawing for your new book…Thanks, Sharon
SHAREING PLANTS AND YOUR SIMPLY KNOW HOW TO IS ACKNOWLEDGING OTHERS WISDOM IN THE GOOD BOOK OF GOD’S BIBLE.
Hubby use to tell me I killed even fake silk plants,but that was the sad truth! But thanks to you “MIKE” and following your advice, I almost have a green thumb, ALMOST! Please consider me for your Free Copy of Backyard Growing System. I know I will learn so much more. I will get that Green Thumb, but better yet, hubby,family,and friends will be green with envy! Thank you so much!
Hi Mike,
I have been contemplating buying your system for a while now but as I live in the UK I am unsure whether it is relevant here ( the wholesale suppliers etc ) Would love a copy though but even if I don’t get a free copy would you be able to tell me if I can use your system here in the UK?
Many thanks
Vicky
I’m 64 years old and a professional chef but looking fore ward to retireing.Would love to take my love of gardening to the next level and make it a retirement business.I’d like to get accurate information and look to you for the means to make it all happen.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your new book and growing system.
I love to garden and always wanted to own a farm.
I’d love to add trees to my Farmer’s Market sales.
Would love to learn more. But I rarely wear hats….so here’s my 2 cents instead. 
Mike , Thank you many times over for all your ideas and inspiration !Your videos and advice are always useful and maybe one of these days I can turn my two acres of grass (weeds) into something more productive and less costly to maintain ! God Bless you and your family and keep on diggin ‘ !
I would like to get a free copy so I can make some extra income. Social Security and VA pention do not go far enough. Hope to enjoy life a few more years.
I am tossing my bunnet in with the rest. The idea of something for nothing is very attractive but the real attraction is learning from somebody who know more than me or in this case much more. Good luck with the revision.
McKenzie
Everything I have learned about gardening I learned from you.
I would like a copy of your book.
Thank yo so much, Janice Temple
At this time I am just getting ready to retire on my virtually nonexistent Social Security. I have 1/4 acre of lawn. I’m hoping to use your system to build a business that will support me as I age. I could really use your system and would put it to very good use. Thnx for everything you have already introduced to me even if I’m not chosen. Love your site.
Here’s my hat … I’d love to be considered.
Hello Mike, I enjoy the fount of information you share with us via your newsletters and hope to grow up one day to sell plants just like you. Please allow me to throw this old bowler hat into the ring and try my luck…Thanks!
Hi Mike, what a great offer! I don’t know a lot about plants but my interest grows all the time. Put my hat in the ring and I hope to hear from you!
Hi Mike I am a new member so all the help I can get would be great. So getting a free copy of your book would be a great boost for me. Lot of hats in the ring wish everyone good luck. Jean in NC
Here’s my hat. I started my plant business, selling at a farmer’s market, this year, and definitely learned as I went. Hoping for more success next year and would love any help I can get.
Throwing my hat in the ring for a free copy of your book. Looking forward to getting into the Backyard growing system!
Here’s my hat (visor)! Thanks for the info!
Now there’s a way to convince a skeptic! Love your videos, really impressed a couple of guys the way I handled a wheelbarrow.
Since moving from Buffalo, NY to Beaufort SC I am having even more fun gardening in the longer growing season.
Please add me to the give away list for your new growing system.
Thanks so much, I enjoy your emails.
Helena
Thanks for the awesome communication and continuous products and advice over the years. I’d love to be considered for one of your growing programs. My husband loves your publications too!
Fravel & Mary Combs
I’ve got catfish in my basement. I need the extra income.
recently retired and clearing about 2 acres of land to grow and hopefully boost income beyond the meager amount of SS the government gives me even though I contributed all my life and was hoping the government would take better care of me !!!
Please throw my hat in the ring for one of your new systems. Am looking at complete retirement, from a regular job, and doing what I want. Look forward to seeing the new book and dvd.
Hi Mike, i am going to be retireing soon and i would like to start a small business to help supplement my income. I love working outdoors and your course would be great. Have a great day mike. Tom
Mike…
I really enjoy the emails. I am a beginner Gardner and have tried a few of your suggestions. I loved the potting soil recipe. I’d also like to ‘throw my hat in’ as well for your new book. Thanks for all the great tips!
Michelle Martin
a lttle while back you sent around the video about “backstage” of your business (man your wife was so lovely serious). that video has changed our life. the invitation to the seminar following the video
contained the “million dollar day”phrase which intrigued me. dig-dig-dig (like a true gardener that I became reading your materials) and here we are diving into Internet Marketing Thing. Many Thanks indeed!!!
As about your regular emails an extraordinary thing happened and keep happening. Every time I have a problem to solve in my little backyard opening your very last message and, magically, in there, is the solution of my task. And it is explained in detail, and it always worked. Many, many thanks.
A little detail: I am probably one of your first subscribers (since your website was, well, ugly). And the reasons I bought only your book and not the “system” are: 1) money; 2) living in Alberta, Canada (yeah, that’s zone 2 of hardiness!). But I am dying of curiosity (like the cat) to get into the so famous secret technology you developed!
Thank you for all your help and please keep yourself healthy and active for all of us, your admirers!
I have been reading your post for about 5 years, I have tried most of your garden stories and they have been great, I would love to get a free copy, Thanks for helping ous city boys that have mov ed to the country
Hey Mike,
Love to throw my hat in the ring too. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!!
Happy early fall to you.
I have been growing plants all of my life; I even have my own little greenhouse. I would like to be considered to win your growing system book. Owning my own little nursery has been a long time dream.
I would love to get the free copy, I just had my forth back surgery and am slowly recovering. It’s going to a long recovery, since I lost my job and may not be able to go back to work due to my condition, so I would love to get a free copy to keep my mind stimulated in hopes to be able to use the information for next spring. gardening is the one thing I can look forward to.
Happy Gardening
I would love to have a copy if you so desire.
I watch and read each of you newletter, and it has help and gave me ideas that I will try or work to have my plants sell better. Thanks for including me in on your life and world of kwoldge of plants and how to grow them.
Deloris
Thanks, Mike,
for giving your ‘followers’ a great opportunity. Since I am unable to garden anymore, I also am not allowed to sell plants from a private property where I live. I will let you use my ‘space’ in your draw. I still love to get your newsletters, as I am mentally still ‘garden’. As far as having missed your ‘Shindig’, believe me, if I were to be allowed to travel again, I will make that trip. But for the next three years, I have been ‘put on ice’.
Good Luck to all participants.
Your faithful reader Christa.
Being new to Gardening I could really use the help thank you for considering me
I would love to get one of your books. I have been using your information from the web to propagate some home plants and they have been doing well. But for some reason I am unable to get out door plants to propagate. I’ve been learning a lot from your web videos. Well I thank you for all you information you offer over the web.
I’d be honored to have a copy of your new book. Congratulations on its publication!!
Rob
Singles and love to garden. Please consider me.
I don’t wear a hat but usually have a bandana sweat band I will throw in the ring. I am trying to get moved so haven’t acted much on what I have learned here but I do have some things going.
Thank you for all the info you put out for the backyard growers.
Toni
Hi Mike, I’ve greatly enjoyed your videos and would really enjoy reading your new book!

Hi Mike,
I would love to win a free copy of your new Backyard Growing System. I really enjoy your website and newsletters – very inspirational! Working in my garden and yard is one of my favorite pastimes; you have given me some great ideas. I am throwing in my hat!
Thanks,
Sandra
Hi Mike,
Here’s my hat. I’m still trying to figure out how to grow plants for sale when we live in a Condo. We have some ground around us I can use but it is all in shade so I don’t know how successful it would be. I’ll keep on noodleing it and maybe your info (if I win it!) will give me some ideas.
Love your newsletter and look forward to each one. Linda from Columbus, Ohio
There goes my name into the ring. Since the job search is going poorly, I am concentrating on growing as much as I can in my own yard to save money. Your expertise is just what I need to make my garden as productive as possible. I have a few herbs and veggies going, but my thumb is yet to turn green. Your Backyard Growing System would help tremenduously, and free is about all I can afford right now. With all that said, thanks for the opportunity.
Hi mike I follow you quite regularly and really enjoy your tips. I just had my 75th birthday last week, hal la loo ya! Any way i do a lot of propagating, and enjoy giving away to many people. Still considerating starting a sm. bussiness. I would really be delighted to be consiered as one who will receive a free copy. LOL, but even if not I will still enjoy following your website.
Oh Please, PLease, PLease Pick Me. Thanks for your consideration. Jennifer
Just retired, love to garden! Would use and appreciate the info to further enjoy and produce added income!!

I would love to win your new system. We have 4acres on Route 13 south of Newark Ohio. This next spring we are starting a big garden for sales on the property.I do want to start some plants to sell the following year. Thanks for all the info on plants!
I’m throwing my hat in the ring. Maybe you can help me grow something other than weeds!

I have a file on my computer with all your garden tips in it. Been a great help since I am pretty clueless when it comes to gardening. Thanks for your help over these two years.
Here is my hat too! Thank you for this opportunity.
Thanks Mike,
I’m hoping to be considered for one because I’ve been out of work for some time and I live in Maine. I think those are two good reasons. But if not, That’s okay because you’ve already given me many free gifts in the form of knowledge. I’ll always be gratefurl for your expertise in the business.
That is neat. I’d love to do this with my daughter. Thanks for being such a great resource.
Never ever won anything so here’s my hat, towel or whatever. Would love to get a free copy of your new book. Maybe it will finally get me in gear for an opportunity to become a real backyard gardener….
Mike;
Tossing my hat in! I purchased your “Easy Plant Propagation” book. I was amazed at how many boxwood clippings I was able to get under a standard size aquarium. I was also able to put in a few fig tree clippings. Looking forward to seeing them root.
Thanks in advance.I know I will be one of the three.It will impact so many areas in setting up my business.Blessings
Hi Mike, I am currently a backyard grower of all the exotic species i use for my own personal bonsai collection. I propogate all these species in someway or another for sale to locals for landscape or bonsai, whatever they want them for. Ive been doing this on my own for two years and would love to know your secrets to improve what im doing and maybe learn what i havent had the exsperiance to figure out on my own. Thanks for this offer!
Sincerely, Jake
I am looking forward to your new edition. I am currently limited in what kind of gardening I can do because of severe arthritis in both hands. I hope your new book will have some tips on how I can continue to enjoy gardening with minimal pain. I could really use a copy of your growing system.
I’m interested.
I would love to be considered for your new book.
Hi, I stumbled across your great website last year when I was trying to find some good information on the brand new Japanese Maple I wanted planting info on, and it has been history ever since. I find your site not only helpful but entertaining, and I really like your video teaching and easy to follow ideas and instructions. I like your down to earth approach and your overhauls~!
Well, my hat is in the ring. Let’s see what luck brings.
If I win this great prize, I will see how I can put it to work for me, as I will become a snowbird next year, spending the wonderful springs and summers in the Lovely Adirondacks and the wonderful falls and winters in Arizona. I am new to planting and gardening, and you have been a great resource to turn to. I would love to make some money doing what I love, planting and gardening both in the Northeast and out west. Thanks~!
Hi, I would love to win your new growing system. I’m retiring next Monday have a lot of free time to spend in the garden and try something new. New enjoy your emails.
Here’s my hat.
I enjoy the helpful emails but I look forward to holding a real book in my hands!
Mike: I have been seriously involved in the plant industry as an amateur and professional for going on 40 years, and I have to say that your e-mail information is excellent.
I have not seen your old system, but I am definitely looking forward to seeing your New Growing System.
Mike,
I like everything you do and write about. I have learned so much from you and I use that knowledge almost every day when I garden.
You have made the hobby (sport?)so mcu more enjoyable as well as realistic. GC
Congratulations on the completion of your revised project and thanks for sharing all your hard work with us… Can’t wait to check out your updated info.
I am retiring at the end of August and plan to make gardening my full time effort. I would feel privileged to receive one of your free gardening systems to help me in my efforts. Thank you for your consideration.
Mike, I have really enjoyed your site along with all the good tips. While I am no longer physically able to do much in the garden, I have tried to use your tips to teach my greatgrandkids propagating plants by use of cuttings from all the different plants I have here on the place as well as cuttings they are able to get from others. Our latest success has been quince.
I need all the help I can get. I was widowed
suddenly 5 years ago and haven’t been able to find work so I’m looking for anything I can do to earn money so I don’t lose my little home.
I plan to do with that as I do with anything that comes my way – I share it with other widows and single moms so we can all have better lives.
I’d love to join your growers network, if you’d like a participant from Southern Ontario, Canada. I’m penniless but persistent. Please enter me in your contest. Thanks.
Hey Mike! Toss my hat in. I’ve been reading your site and emails forever, but as a single mom of a special needs child, I just never have the extra money to order your system. My daughter’s passion is gardening, and luckily, mine is farming. We’re both stuck in the city, but we have space to grow. I’d love to be able to afford all the help the doctors say she needs, God knows we could use a little help and luck.
Thanks again Mike! Keep the emails coming, they brighten our days!
Consider my hat officially in the ring! I have learned much reading your articles and following the links. I can just imagine what I could accomplish with the new version. Thanks for all of the knowledge!
Please grasp my hat as I throw it into the ring. I would love this for my wife, so she can tell me what to do.
all hats “R” in want to purchase one of those sut ups but the cash flow is not alowing me to so hope i can win one of them
thanx for your time
I’m planning to grow plants as part of my retirement. Having a degree in landscape architecture sure helps a lot, however, I have learned a few things about propagation from your videos. Hat’s in for your new book!
Hi Mike, I really like the advise that you offer us and read every thing that you can send. Your advise always seems to be in time with the problems that always seem to pop-up. Please keep up the good work and advise for us not so smart gardeners.
Hi, I have been following you for awile and would love to be considered for the free updated system. I have recently moved to Great State of Texas to rebuild life and things are on the up swing slowly but moving upward. I finaly have place I can work system(yard space). Thank you so much.
I would appreciate it if you would enter my name in the ring to get this.I have learned a lot of techniques that I didn’t know from the videos and the byg board as well.I have met (onbyg board) a lot of people with the same desire for plants that I have.
Hi, Mike–I found your website a few months ago, and almost immediately went out and started new plants from my old plants! What fun! I love your emails; and I have watched your online videos several times, always hoping to find one that I haven’t seen before! I have learned so much from you,and plan to start a lot of new plants for next spring. Please consider me for one of your new programs! Thank you!
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for your giveaway. You have always done a good job helping folks. Glad you have Dustin coming on board to assist you.
I have tried to save enough money to buy your growing system but due to a strained budget i have not succeeded. I have saved everyone of your emails.
I would love to one day take a good look at your gardening program. Please include me in your drawing. Eddiej
I definitely want my hat in the ring. Am looking for a venture to retire to, this looks very good.
I could so use your free book. You have no idea how many times you have inadvertantly answered a question. Had to redo my lawn. 2 days after sowing the see (by hand by the way)your email told about the grass started. Never heard of it but rushed out & got some. My lawn took off instantly. Bet your book would answer a LOT more questions. Please throw my hat in the ring!!!! Hugs
Love your gardening tips and this site. Really wish you were my next door neighbor!!
Thanks for all your expert helpful advice.
I read all of your email and I have made a lot of progress up to now. I still consider myself behind the curve in propogating plants. I have not made the jump in attempting to sell anything. I would like to be able to grow more. I would like to have a
copy, but if not that’s ok. My regards
Danny
Throwing my hat in the ring for your offer of a free book. Being out of work for over a year and trying to make it on SS has certainly changed my life. Love to grow plants and trees and would more than appreciate the opportunity to have the knowledge presented in your book.
i don’t even wear a hat….. so why wouldn’t you give one to me……. heheheheheheh
My son just bought a 2.5 acre property here in Colorado and wants to start a back yard nursery. I would love for him to learn from you, ss I have over the years.
I would love to be included in your drawing. I enjoy your postings and have been intrigued by your backyard growing system. Eddiej
Hello Mike, I’m a retired teacher and a local Master gardener here in Va. I’ve wanted to become a backyard grower but hesitated due to the fact that your previous items had to be down loaded. My computer works so slow that I didn’t think it would work. Glad you are now providing DVD’s and a book. I have started to grow some Miss Huff’s Lantanas and Hydrangas from clippings. Please put my name in the drawing. Enjoy all your email suggestions.
Pick Me Pick Me Pick ME
I just recently relocated to VA and now have the PERFECT 1.5 lot on a cul-de-sac to start root propagation. I would love a copy!!
I have tried unsuccessfully iin the past but would really love to get one of your systems. Thank you.
I truly enjoy reading many of your thoughts and teachings on the many plants. Some were meant for me and of course others Not so much. Thanks for all of your sharing with us.
