So I invested in a "Snackmaster jr. Dehydrator" and quickly got to work on my herbs. My first harvest came to about --20 on a sauce jar.

I have no idea what its worth by the jar and need help figuring this out. Any ideas what I should sell each jar for?

You have to build your own solar dehydrator. Dehydrating is a lot lok bitcoin mining-- the cost of electricty costs more than the yeild in most cases.

This will get you started but I'm not going to spoonfeed you any of the stuff I'm dehydratng. DYOR newfag this game is NOT for little kids. It's adoggy dog world out here, kiddo.

Well the total amount of time was roughly 4 hours. I dont think I used too much for my first attempt.

IT doesn't matter anon. Your marginal costs will always be higher than your marginal revenue unless you switch to solar energy.

You're literally never gonna make it. I'm a 3rd generation food dehydrator and while it's nice to see kids getting their feet wet in the industry, you have no fucking idea what you're getting into. You will get absolutely fucking rekt. I have over 500 accounts where I sell my products and 4 guys covering my sales routes for me, and I'm telling you, you have no idea what you're getting into and you're probably already stepping on the toes of some very powerful people. Just stick to worm farming.

I dont know anon, it seems simple. Grow in the basement, harvest when ready, clean, toss in dehydrator, grind it up, and package. Seems simply really.

All I really need is just a better grinder, had to do most of this using a jar/spoon and by hand.

Well I was thinking of selling it locally, in bulk to undercut amazon. For $10 you get a tiny ass jar, I think i can do better than that. Its fresher too. That factory stuff even if grown organic has been sitting around too long in warehouses.

As far as i know, no local business sells organic catnip like this.

The pics dont do it justice, its decent. As for toy making, i could try that. But I think i need to keep it simple. How about smell beanbags (the kind you toss) filled with this stuff? Maybe add a tail to it and a mouse face c:

As for what else i can make, im unsure.

you can sell it locally maybe even with a higher price then at amazon.

Hell, advertise the use of glass jars for the cats health reason - avoiding plastic.

Good idea, I got a ton of jars left over from cooking, all glass. Maybe I can just get some fancy sticker made and place it on the jar?

I wanna keep costs down, so I can profit for my time here.

Maybe different labels and you can collect them, putting them together they have some meaning or a picture.

Cut your supply with three leaf clovers or grass. Cats can't tell their owners the drugs they bought are weak

Thats a neat idea anon. I'll get some blank labels and just draw cars on them with the name. If anything it will make it seem home made and from their community so people might support it more.

That seems dishonest man, I cant do that to their furbabies. It just isnt right. I raised cats for 18+ years, and I cant short change them like that. Besides if the cats dont have a great reaction that might cost me business in the long run.

Oh, if you have, create a webpage and have a slideshow of how nice and organic your catnip is growing.

He is literally a drug dealer for cats, they cut their supply all the time. It leads to greater profit margins. There are no morals in drug trafficking, It's a doggy dog world out there.
