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 :)

I just re-planted my wine bottle, wish me luck!!

10 years ago I took one bulb of garlic, with about a dozen cloves, and planted it. By the 2 year mark, I had more garlic than anyone would need in a lifetime. It still grows to this day.

Finally! A gardening channel that helps people start from zero and you dig with your bare hands, I just I love it! You got me, I'm hooked.

I remember being so depressed and anxious when the pandemic started. Also, lots of personal problems were just snowballing. I started watching this man's videos thank God, and they just brought a smile to my face. He is just heart-warming.

It's 4 am, perfect time to improve my gardening skills.

I tossed an old rotting onion in the garden, realized it was sprouting and covered it more. Ended up with two massive onions as big as a large hand. Enough for a French onion soup.
-
I live in Hawaii and fruits and vegetables are just so expensive these days. I had bought containers and soil so I could start planting my own garden and I wanted some tips and tricks on how to start my garden and you’ve given me some good ideas. Love your teaching techniques.

When you plant a slice of tomato, make sure it has seeds in it! I planted a slice out of the middle of a tomato - it grew about 6 plants!
-
"its not just the money, its the health, the regrowth, the less waste, its the rejuvenation..." This is exactly why my family has been forgoing grocery shopping for seed shopping more and more these days. Its hard to put into words how rewarding working with the land and time to help make something wonderful grow.

Watching your videos makes me realize that, if any catastrophic event happens and we are back to hunter-gatherers, I will probably die first.

I just planted 3 celery bases and my friend, a lettuce base. I remarked yesterday, "Hmm...wouldn't it be a great video to demonstrate what you could grow from Kitchen Scraps?" and here, today, I see this episode! Great job!!! and I'm really looking forward to my Scrap Garden! Thank you for all you do. You're really an inspiration!

I have put carrot tops in a shallow dish of water for years just to enjoy the lovely greenery in the windowsill area during the cold dark winter months. Twice now a carrot has actually shot up and given me a lovely flower!! Just from a half inch of rotting root!! What a gift.
-
This COVID 19 pandemic just made me remember that I can be out of a job anytime and that knowing how to farm is important and is the way to go to be self sufficient.

My grandmother told me how the minute WWII was declared in England, the following week my grandfather turned all his flower beds into a vegetable garden, then as the war went on, the small amount of lawn got turned as well. In these Covid times, we may as well busy ourselves, be organic and have some produce to show for it. Good on you, love and appreciate your easy down to earth manner 👍👍😁

My dad was a farmer so when he came to the U.S., he always had a garden. Potatoes were always a veggie that he had a separate space for because they take up a lot of room. Tomatoes he grew from seeds and they need sun and also need their own bed. Those round cylinders maybe should be dedicated to one crop if you don’t have a large bed. Great work though!
-
I loved watching your potato hunt. I did that with a 2-inch cut-off of a purple sweet potato about 7 years ago and that thing took over the 4x8 foot growing bed choking out everything else I planted. It also came back every year because I can never find all the potatos! (It's a good thing they are my new favorite food!)
-
It’s actually nice to see you not successful with some of the plants, because it shows that things don’t always work out even for a seasoned gardener. I have struggled with thinking I just suck at gardening because my plants died in the past. It’s good to know that it’s not necessarily the case.

Hi Mark, wanted to let you know that I actually cut the celery leaves off and air dry them on cookie sheet. Then crunch them up, put in jar and add to soups, stews, and chowders. The celery flavor from the dried leaves is very concentrated and strong but it's my secret ingredient when someone tries to guess the ingredients in my cooking. Love your videos. Take care
-
Thanks, you just opened up a whole new gardening dimension to me.
-
I appreciate you taking the time and tasting your plants shows how much you really care about what you're doing!!! God bless your Harvest.
