Circular Economy Garden Enterprise Pitch

A real business idea, costed, using what the garden already produces or discards.

Seedlings, compost, dried herbs, mushroom growing on straw, and preserved produce are all viable at small scale. The pitch requires unit economics, which is where most ideas fail and where the learning is.

The page has the pitch structure, a unit economics template, a market check requirement and a risk section. The market check requires talking to potential buyers rather than assuming, and it kills about half the ideas at the point where killing them is cheap.
