Is Mike McGrowarty's planting system legitament?

Question

I found this website www.freeplants.com and wonder if its a scam.

Answer 1

I'd say the free tips at the top are legit, but the $297 you pay for a business model is a scam.

You won't make any money selling wholesale plants to nurseries or other local buyers. If you do, it will require a lot of sweat equity (spending lots of your time and energy). Sprouting seeds, keeping them moist, transplanting them...

I bet his list of low cost suppliers are people who will take a handsome profit off of you.

Plus there are gardening nuts who give their plants away to people for free.

You can use a fake or rarely used email address to sign up, but I bet you can find most of that info elsewhere. Aside from the make money fast aspects.

Answer 2

If you have a junk EMail address to give them you might try it to see if it's any good. I wouldn't risk the spam you're liable to get with an EMail I use all the time. I have a throwaway Yahoo account I use for web sites that require you to submit an EMail account. If it gets spammed I just abandon it and start a new one.

Answer 3

Yes, the "system" is legit. However, you can find most of the info for free online if you look hard enough. The "secrets" he will give you aren't really secret - for example: wholesale suppliers just don't advertise to the general public - but they are not hard to find if you know where to look.

Here's two for you -

The free email newsletter is just that - I've been getting it for over a year now and most of it is just expansions on the free info on his website - some is useful, some is just interesting reading. I haven't had any reason to believe I've gotten any spam mail because of it.

A small nursery business is certainly a viable proposition - it can be as easy or as hard as you make it. It can also be as large or small as you want. It all depends on what you want out of it. Depending on where you live, it would be wise to check into any special regulations.

Another good source of info is the book :
