So this would mean that people who are going to use your service will have to plan (or guesstimate) months in advance what vegetables they are going to need. This is why this won't gain traction on a large scale, especially since most people can barely plan a week ahead.

Can't agree with that, I know many families, that buying for example potatoes on whole winter (around 100 kg - 120kg on family) somewhere in November - December.

But then again why would people use your service when they can go to the supermarket and buy it there?

Another part of this idea - let people grow ANY vegetables, for example, you can't go and buy in supermarket tomatoes called san marzano.

I really don't see how you are going to beat supermarket prices by 40 to 50%, especially since prices for vegetables are already pretty low since supermarkets buy in bulk and often times have very favorable deals with local farms. And when you're offering 24/7 live stream, which is a cool feature, but it's an expensive luxury for your model. Of course, as your model gains traction it will be easier to reduce costs but since I don't think it will gain much traction I feel like your model will be very expensive (initially).

I like the essence of your idea but the model as it is right now still needs some major tweaks before you can come close to making it into something that can actually succeed.

Yes, I understand your point of view, it will be very expensive, if I'll get for example just 10 clients ready to use my service and I understand, that in first months I need to be ready work in "minus". But for example, 250 - 500 clients could change this situation. I agree, that this model still needs some major tweaks, this idea just 3 days old.  Roll Eyes
