If you are looking for fast success, then create a business that sells a product people are knocking down the doors to get.
So what business might that be? Where do you find it?
Check out this interview I did with Justin Rohner who is the owner of iAgriscape.com. I met Justin at Arizona’s huge PrepperFest which is an amazing gathering you should try to get to if you are in the area. Justin has created a business that answers a question I get all the time – “Marjory, could you come by my home and show me what to plant so my yard is edible?”.
But Justin and iAgriscapes takes it to a whole other level in that iAgriscapes has a certification program which is creating a network of businesses across the country who are transforming yards into elegant edible landscapes.
I wish the lighting had been better but the interview was so amazing I just had to get this out.
You can reach Justin and iAgriscapes at www.iAgriscapes.com

You may want to correct your references and links spelling to omit the trailing “s”

Yep. I can see it coming too. If only I was 10 or 15 years younger.
On the 15 years younger – you and me both! LOL
The second link to the landscape business with the plural s in it doesn’t work.
Fixed…thanks!
I knew a lady who spend $5000 on course about how to be an author and promote her book. If the people teaching the course really knew how to be successful as authors they would have gone and made their money doing that and wouldn’t have needed $5000 from my friend. Same goes for all these people promoting business success who sell courses. If they could do it, they wouldn’t need your money and could go off an be business successes on their own.
HI James,
This wasn’t about a course for sale….
I enjoyed this video. I had this idea in 2009 when I originally applied to get a scholarship to become a master gardener. Along with an idea to start a community garden worked by homeless people, who would benefit from the produce and feeling of productivity and getting their hands in the dirt. Thanks for sharing. I missed the prepperfest in Phoenix this year as I didn’t know about it. Next year though I’ll be there.
Diana, I’ll be Skyping in for the Oct. PrepperFEst,and hope to personally attend the foolwoing Spring. Tony T. – who organizes it – has a big heart.
Interesting. I have encouraged people for years to if nothing else; put some tomato plants in your flower beds. Some of my best tomatoes have grown there. As for the negative comment about the course costing money? You pay for knowledge that will hopefully save you money. There is no free lunch.
I think this topic on edible yards is simply the best, but I sure thought there would be more info on what plants to put in that would be really compatible. Some how to dos too. Please give us more info on this. Many can’t go into a business but we can change our yards a little at a time. The info needs to be for different climates. i live in Central Minnesota and my zone is shorter season.
Hi Fran – We have lots of information coming down the pipeline that will be helpful for getting more food out of your yard. And there are some good pointers to start with in this article: http://growyourowngroceries.org/guerilla-gardening-on-a-postage-stamp/.
Fran – There is a ton more info on what to plant, when, where, etc. all on the new app that we are launching this fall… it works even where you live! Find more about it here: http://www.MyAgriscapePro.com
