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 :)
Glad I bumped into your channel.Subscribed.
I’ve been watching these videos from an apartment in San Diego for a couple years now. I just moved to a big piece of land in Tennessee and was only here for 1 day before the garden was planted. So stoked!!!
All the best with your new garden - how exciting! :)
Sounds fucking delightful!
I had the luck to grow up on a farm in northern germany with a lot of space. For somebody who lived in the city and now is able to grow a lot of stuff on a big place it must be phenomenal!
Best of luck with your garden!
I currently live in San Diego and have four chickens and a few plants. i’m hopefully going to move to a big piece of land in upstate New York and own horses , cows , sheep , more dogs , cats , etc. i also want a giant area for a garden. best of luck for you and your garden!
@@aurelia5776 That sounds awesome sage!!! Blessings to you!
This is awesome man
One of your videos came up randomly while i was watching youtube/playing games.
Been hooked ever since and I've never had any interest in gardening before.
Even had a crack at growing basil from seed, had 5 in different pots about 10cm tall.
Then I put some fertiliser on them and they all died from fertiliser burn hahaha ;(
Learnt my lesson though, now I've got so much i can't eat it all ;D.
Thanks Mark/Russel Crowe for sharing your knowledge and passion with everyone =)
nice vid mate. should do a 3 part tour during each of the seasons.
Ok, I'll see what I can do - make this one "summer to winter transition" - thank you! :)
@@Selfsufficientme thanks for the reply long time watcher and inspired definitely. getting the first round of fruit trees in at the moment. unfortunately we only get 2 seasons in darwin hot and wet and hot and dry ahah tropicals it is.
Thank you for sharing your garden with us!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I grew up on a farm and collards were a staple in spring and fall. Our summers are to hot for most, if not all greens. We grew potatoes starting in Feb.and stored them packed in pine straw under the house and had potatoes through winter. I don't like collards myself, but would force myself to eat them, so my children would eat them.
I've bathed with luffa but have never eaten it.
I live in Lake City Florida. Yep, your video are sprinkled everywhere in the world. I’m glad because you have educated me a lot. I don’t use raised garden plots. I might at some point but for now I like tilling and hoeing my rows ‘keeps the weight down’. I’ve learned much about new plants, composting and stepping outside the box with respect to trying herbs and plants not normally grown in this part of the south, asparagus being the first experiment and I owe that to you and your channel. Hope for your continued success and again thank you.
Wow, I imagine this resembles the garden of Eden! Awesomely huge and gorgeous! You inspire me! TY! I could almost smell the basil!
Can’t wait for the fruit tree tour! Love the idea of a seasonal tour as well
hey mark! was wondering if you could do a video on some berry varieties whenever possible, black berries, boysenberries, blueberries etc. would be really interesting for me
Greetings from the Palm Springs, California desert! I look forward to every one of your videos as I grow as a baby gardener. My daughter calls you "Mac from sesame!" Say hello to your little friend @ 24:19 for us!
So stoked to have found you just got 4 mangoes of my tree from seed (best I've ever tasted)..growing lettuce and tomatoes like crazy(your toothbrush method)what a mighty achievement if I do say so my self.. Thankyou Mark all from what you have taught me
Saw a video old lady got a small water bottle small hole in the lid cut about inch and half of end put Vegs in put bottom back inside dug small in pot put in bottle 3/4 bottle of Vegs not only fed the plant she got half a bottle of compost to put on other plants easiest composting ever great for your small garden watchers Place looking great mark
Great tour.
Thank you.
May Our Lord bless me like this farm... Must start praying now... Thank you for your channel, a big eye opener to save and somehow could buy a land to plant variety vegetables.
Mark, if you want to stop having to use so much compost, and buying or having to make all that compost, start using species-dense cover crops over the winter in stead of making compost yourself. Cover crops will do it for you provided you plant the right mixes at the right time. And no, it is not a regenerative agriculture 3000+ hectare thing only, you can do it in raised garden beds too.
I'm posting just after you mention being worried about if your pea seed is too old. A video about your experience with using older seed would be helpful! Have you noticed certain seeds do better as they age? Etc. etc.
A wonderful informative channel...one of the best I think !! Thankyou for sharing all your valuable info with us !!
I always say one day I’ll have a beautiful garden like this guy lol absolutely love the videos
Wow! That is quite a food forest! Lovely!
Is the rootstock tomato a hybrid or could you share a link to purchase some seeds?
I really love your videos! I don’t really have a green thumb, but I’m smart enough to know nature takes care of itself with a little TLC and water, and not too much work. I’m in an apartment but would love to grow blueberries, chia(for seeds), loofahs are a great idea, love peas and green beans potatoes and sweet potatoes. I’m in Florida-subtropical climate too, love my fruits, but I guess smaller containers and vertical is the best option for me. How does one make potato flour? Grew corn as a kid, but too tall for an apartment patio or balcony. Raised beds are excellent for an arthritic that needs to sit and can’t kneel. Great for all info you can provide! Saw one of your videos by accident and fell in love with how simple you make it all look! Keep the videos coming!!💜🇺🇸
You have such a great garden
show us more AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE near your garden mate !
we in britain don t see things like you ve got close by , i loved the sound of them koocaburragh s ( however you spell it lol )
lemon verbena mixed with lemon is used in my country as a home remedy for flux and cold.
I've got Jerusalem Artichokes growing too. I hope I get enough so I can try to ferment them like you do
I just wished it would happen in south Texas. It's so hot over here now. I hope my tomatoes will make it true.
It'd be cool if you did some videos of cooking the harvest up!
Ah awesome tomatoes 🍅🥰😍😘
Paradise.
Yaaaaasss, the video we’ve all been waiting to enjoy ❣
There are very nice videos to watch. Especially because I live in Finland where only the summer is good season to grow anything outdoors. I am now trying to grow cucumbers, zucchinis and cherry tomatoes at my balcony and it is interesting to see does any of those plants survive this summer. :)
Love this video but not as much as I love your garden! Top effort. I really hope mine can be half as good
Everything looks great.
Hi Mark. Love the videos. I have just extended my veggie patch with raised garden beds as I am currently renting. I can shoot you a photo if you like. However, I can’t help but notice that you do not have many flowering plants to encourage beneficial bugs I.e ladybugs to eat the aphids etc. Apologies if I have this wrong. Keep up the good work. “Getting in to it down in Mel, Vic”
Good Morning from California

The Intro music is fire 🔥 👌
How do you do Mark :) ? Brainwave mark! Why not grow a tonne of compost.... and maybe just a load of ginger? might make things easier I thought? Only kidding! Thank you for the great videos.. they really make me smile during these strange times! Big ups.. Big Love x
21:12 Rainbow!
Your videos are Great!...Do you do crop rotation?...Also, do you plan or figure out what to plant next to each other or does it not matter? Thanks again for all your videos.

Hi Mark from NZ here
Do you make your containers yourself out of roofing irion if so is there a demo on that please ..thanks
Hi Mark. What size Birdies garden beds do you use at the front of the vege garden?
Does it get cool enough Darren Australia to do turnips and rutabagas
What seeds did you buy for the cayenne peppers?
hi I'm Indian first see
What do you do with galangal?.😊
You have a Ziggy!
Which region of Australia are you from?
This guy my fav youtube gardener. good on ya m8
Thank you! :)
The twenty people who disliked are grocery store managers
Yep
hahahahaha lol in real life.
100%
That got a chortle
😂
I'm a manager in a grocery store, coming up on two years.
I still love Mark's content, and I'm thinking about starting some indoor herbs for my own entertainment
Glad to see Russel Crowe is keeping busy in retirement. So many people find themselves at loose ends. 10/10
Hahahahah :D
now that you mentioned it! LOL, he does!
We've nicknamed Mark "uncle Rusty"
To me he looks like a mix between Russle Crowe and Steve Irvine xD, if Russel and Steve had a baby..
Lol
Great garden, great video! Your voice is incredibly soothing! Thank you for this long video. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you Karo! :)
Anyone else notice the bug on the lens at 24:20?
Green jumping spider
So cute!
Yeah he's fine it's a friend lol
Came to the comments exclusively for this.
@@an3582
Me too!
Saving this for later when I get home from work but liking it already coz I've wanted this video since I discovered your channel! 😂🙏🏼
Have you written any books? You should. You are amazing!
I love the kookaburra in the background. Sounds like a smile among the crop! I been watching for a year or so now and I learn so much that I have applied to my own area here in US. Much love! Blessed Be
Husband and I love your videos. If you're ever in Texas (US of course), feel free to reach out, we'll show you around
Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for this?!?!?!? Thanks m8 keep up the good work!
You are my favorite gardening pro!
I’m always inspired by your videos and would kill to visit your place one day! A man can dream right?
Do you ever have problems with airflow in your dense planting technique? Do you battle fungus, disease or insects in any particular parts of the garden?
I’ve had problems with leaf blight with my toms and powdery mildew with the cukes, gourds, and melons. Also get cucumber beetle, flea beetles, and thrip in the garden.
It must be so much fun to be able to grow Year round.
Awesome video Mark. Love your work.
My father taught me to grow fruit and veg when I was a boy some 50 years ago and it became a hobby over the years. I have passed on the knowledge to my kids and they love growing food. We live in Sydney and have a very large backyard. Grow all we can eat and some. We are not fortunate to have a sub tropical climate but have a greenhouse to grow our tomatoes over winter.
You are a great educator so don’t stop till you drop cause everyone should learn to grow food.
You've been a huge part of me starting to grow my own vegetables. I love how educational your videos are and the amount of experience that you have. I haven't finished watching the video yet, but I'm loving it already. Keep up the great videos!
Ahh, it smells so Asian 😂😂😂
Love your channel mate! Garden is looking great!
Picks up big green chilli
“This is a big red” 😂 haha I know it will turn red but just thought that was funny 😁
Great video... love your growing methods. I am learning a lot from you. Have you ever grown black pepper?
Is noone going to mention the little green huntsman spider on the GoPro during the compost segment? I'm glad he wasn't in focus, but Mark didn't seem to mind. Plenty worse spiders to worry about, I reckon.
I just figured Australians are used to spiders 😂
As long as they are not funnel webs.
My first carrots just sprouted! Thanks mark for the tips!
Congrats! 😊
Stunning!!! I have one question, which you might have already addressed, but how do you keep everything so organised? As in, when specific planting times/seasons for veg are when you have so much to handle? The timing. Do you use a journal? Do you use any wildly helpful books? Do you just naturally keep it in your mind? I’m struggling with wrapping my mind around all the proper timings! Cheers
Who says I'm organised? LOL... Seriously, I've practiced food gardening so much that it's in my head now. But looking back on video and images taken in the past and the dates embedded has given me clues to what I grew when etc. For new plants that I have never grown I still use trial and error to see when they perform best. Thank you! 🙂👍
Self Sufficient Me Thank you SO much! Wow, that makes quite a lot of sense! I’m in a zone 8 location so I’m going to try my best then. 🌱☺️
Totally agree Amanda! I’d love to se a video on how you keep it all organised, how you figure out when to plant things with the change of seasons, whens too late into a season to plant things etc. Found your a few months ago and it’s really helped me learn more about gardening.
@thatpat1 "You entered an invalid place. Please enter either a city and state (like Boston, MA), a U.S. ZIP code, or a Canadian postal code." Go figure....
Bought my first raised garden bed recently! All my herbs are sprouting like mad. Also, good to have someone from QLD. I follow all your tips.
You know how much I love raised beds! Good on you Valerie! Queenslander! LOL
Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
Truly did not know that luffa are edible. Sort of new to your channel, really enjoying it.
Same here, did not know Luffa was edible until he told us in one of his videos :)
@@Gloriasgreenhouse we eat them lots in the Philippines, with soups.
Wow ask and ye shall receive - at least on Patreon where I did ask for this video! All your videos are great but this type is one of my favourites, so many thanks for answering my request :-)
Good Lord mate---Those Kookaburras laughing at you are nightmare fuel if you heard that at night.
Hope you don't hear pissed off Possums or Koalas then, your heart will just stop.
What I love best about your videos is the experiments and companion plantings you do. Maximizing the space and bringing a solid wall of produce.
great video! i really enjoy garden tours :)
I so enjoyed the vegetable garden tour! Since you also raise chickens I would think you and your family have a very short grocery list!
You are soooo cute mate I’m watching this from south Germany and enjoy it so much ! ♥️🌳 Love how you live and treat your plants and animals 🌎 ♥️
Thanks Mark, I have been watching quite a few videos of your wonderful tips of growing vegetables. As it is now spring in NSW., and l am a greenhorn in gardening. What would you suggest I can start growing in my backyard please? Would you be making a video to guide us what we should be companion growing in spring please? Thank you so much. Rosemary
I would love to see more walk arounds like this at different times of the year!
Those kookaburras are insane! They sound like hyenas! I love them!
Mark how do you deal with caterpillars eating at the cabbages and bok choy? I saw some leaves eaten up in your video but it doesn't seem to bug you
Mark, "we're saving the older Louffers to use as sponges"........ help me out here, what in the world did you mean by that?
Luffa sponges
Thank you for taking the time to teach people how to grow crops may the Lord bless you my friend
opening your garden with porn music 😂 nice garden mate
Think we need a How To Grow A Ton Of Blueberries! Video 😅
Liked and shared to FB. Very much looking forward to the fruit trees video...
Me, as well.
Great update mark keep up the good work bless ya mate
Amazing garden, and as always an inspirational and educational video. Did you consider using the chickens to make compost? Geoff Lawton has videos of a set up in the dead Sea area, and 'edible acres' has a whole series of videos of his set up in upstate new York
