Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

You inspired me so I am making my plots of veggies starting with tomatoes and lemon grass

"It’s Not Rocket Surgery" thats a T shirt right there
This was very enjoyable to watch
I have a question for you and you seem like the type of gardener that reads his comments and would love to help me out with this question….lol
I live in Hawaii and here we have summer all year long…what types of veggies grow good here? Also if it’s December which technically is winter time, does it affect seeds coming from mainland?
😂Red riding hood ,man😅
What’s a good growing chart?
I bought a shirt today because I love your videos!
I am so happy I found you! Easy, simple, I don’t feel intimidated! Thanks! 🙂
What are the yellow spiked things in the basket and the foamy looking oranges on the table ?
I’m curious to know more about how to turn a seedling germinated from seed into a full, thriving plant. How does one pinch/prune to create fullness? Can you do a demo please?
If the soil is black that’s a good soil.
i think your base is VERY good mister
Thanks I just stated my veggie garden.
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air with the way the world is nowadays
❤
Great show, every time, Mark. I have been following for about 2 1/2 years. Maybe I have missed you talking on natural pest control, but I don’t recall you talking about natural insect pest control and the sort. I had a great success of 2 years running of nematodes and Green Lacewings in the garden. My Magnolia is doing GREAT with the Green Lacewings. The Magnolia leaves have that Great tan felt under the leaves. She looks more and more beautiful every season. She has put on a lot of weight ever since. Please advise on your strategy for pests. Please forgive if I have missed your videos on the subject.
What’s the name of that book?
I love this video! I am just beginning. Let’s get to it!👍🏽
Great video. Baby steps. Hey, do you have raised beds because the ground is too low and you’re old so you can bend over? Like me?
For tip number 2 I’m SO BLESSED, that I live in New Jersey and love tomatoes. They really do grow like weeds here. Barley need sun even it’s crazy
❤❤❤
I lear somting very welll ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for doing these videos.
Getting into gardening has helped me so much with my depression and PTSD.
And your jokes always put a smile on mine and my kids faces.
You have done so much more then just teaching us how to grow by bringing some brightness into our lives.
Just found your channel, and you have helped with such great advice to start a veggie garden
Pigs eat everything, require very little to no medicine ever as they rarely get sick, and are otherwise incredibly easy to keep in every way, except one. You’ll never keep them in a small pen. You’ll have to drive your fence posts and hog panel four foot into the ground before they won’t be able to root out. Aside from that, they’re the perfect food animal, plus they do a better job of clearing land than goats do. A hog will dig down to the root ball and eat the entire plant, they’ll never come back. With goats, every three months or so in the summer everything comes back as the goats don’t kill the root balls. Plus, there’s really nothing finer than hog shit for fertilizer.
You killed a ladybug! 🙁
Aren’t all ladybugs the predator of mites? Even if they are not the "classic" red type? I’ve never seen anyone calling a LADYbug a pest, what’s more, stepping on her!
Helpful tips video nice 🎉🎉
great videos and work that you do, and i love your clear easy to understand english. Greetings from Germany, i start to grow potatos now 😉
I have fresh alpaca poop mixed with some decent ground soul in my raised bed, there is a lot of straw in it and i feel like the fertilizer is too fresh at this point and that it should be mixing better. Does anyone have tips? Anyone know if i should leave it to break down for a while? Should i relax on the fertilizer and straw mix? try to extract some of the straw? I feel like if i mix it up well enough then it should be fine but im new so idk. The 8×4, wooden raised bed i built with a sawzall did turn out great though so im doing good so far i think lol
Absolutely beautiful
Good video. Wait! Did I just see him catch a cute little bug, on camera, that looked like a ladybug, call it a "pest", throw it on the ground and then stomp on it? Please tell me that was not a ladybug.
As you saw I am putting a very thick layer of leaves on my bed then add chicken poop, soil/dirt etc.
Growing your on food is the best.
Hi Mark, I’ve been binge watching your videos eager to start my own little garden in my new rental. I’m just wondering what book that was? I also live in SEQ it looks to be a great read. Do you have any tips for starting to grow fruit and vegetables in a rental? Love the channel and keep up the awesome work!
Thanks
Watched this 2 years ago, just watched it again….legendary! Helped me heaps ❤
Great video and really good explanation of the soil types. Love your humour😂
What is the book you are referring to for planting times. I’m close to you in location
Rocket surgery… You are such a likable fella
I really needed this information.
Beauty I might get some garden beds and grow stuff 😂
Love your videos Mark! Especially the truth drops sprinkled in there. Can’t believe your tired of pumpkins. In NV we call those kabocha’s, they’re my fave topped with avocado and grated ginger.😊
Is this Handsome man related to Russell Crowe?????????
A forearm of a farmer 😂
Mark, take my hat off to you. I live in an area with frosty winters and short hot Summers. I always welcome the cooler weather that keeps rampant weed and grass growth in check.
You have a lot of work maintaining around your veggie beds. I know the amount of hard physical work you need to do.
Your property is beautiful and a testament to all your hard yakka.
ladybugs are good bugs that eat your little white aphids that eat leaves so never stomp on them.
Good day.
I usually enjoy your vids, but your comment about JESUS playing.. totally turns a person off. As a result..id tather NOT subscribe anymore, as tour blasphemy is totally disgusting to me.
I do pray you wont make such comments in the future. Anyway.. goodbye
