Unusual small businesses to start

Being a unique business gives you the edge over other run of the mill types of businesses. I am going to cover 2 of the rarer types of businesses that can be started up with little or no cost.
Worm farming
Do you fish? Then you know the value of worms in an area that is noted for fishing. Worms are sold in local stores, gas stations and sporting goods. Worm farming can be a profitable part-time business. The worm castings (worm poop) are sold packaged in finer garden shops and nurseries. The castings are used as a soil additive for plants.
Pet sitting
Do you love animals? Do you have skills to handle pets? Pet sitting is one of the most in demand occupations during the summer months and around the holidays. Licencing and insurance would be your only expenses to start this business. I knew someone that started one years ago and finally sold the business to someone else and retired. She had so many customers that she had to hire pet sitters.
