This video is about how I combated unwanted weeds and grasses in and around our vegetable garden pathways. Personally, I do find that if your garden is dominated by excessive weeds requiring too much manual work the whole gardening experience can be tainted. Yes, most people understand that pulling weeds is part of gardening but pulling them all day every day gets downright depressing and that’s why I took the action I did to solve our weed and grass problem! Enjoy 🙂

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 SSM 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 🙂
Roundup?
1million!!!!! So good!!
Great idea! Drainage layer underneath grass. Awesome!
Are you experimenting with any living mulch or edible ground cover
What a great climate. Even bare gravel begins to thrive in a year.
You stoner need some coke, weeds, blueberry and more chat up I good and trustworthy dealer I got some stuff for called imjoker12 on wickr I really appreciate them..
Your pathways look better than mine
As a pot-head…this title traumatised me! 😉
Splendidly to see Woodglut have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.
Thank You
I love your videos. Started planting this year. Thank you
Could a network of ag pipes under your grass drain to daylight somewhere?
I thought it said Free Weed. But I finished watching anyway. Cool dude.
Yes u have a great set up but couldn't I just mulch around everything???
Hello Mark, Thanks Mark you gave me a lot of good information in this video. I'm in Arkansas USA and if you don't know weeds and grass grow like trees here. I'm getting handicapped so I've been thinking in your line of gardening, so now I've got a plan. I will try your weed free pathway when we transform our acre garden into raised beds. Thanks for your help. Jessie from Arkansas USA
I did it about three weeks ago. I learned a lot about it on the Woodprix website. Check.
Hey Mark, have you ever thought of growing up in racks? Would be ideal for apartment dwellers.
Nice Garden. Fr dude. Nice work. You are brilliant and a big thanks on the help!
Hi! Did you consider the cardboard and wood chip method? What made you decide against it?
Is this going to work in the South of England? The grass is generally less hardy and it makes headline news if it's over 27 degrees Celcius more more than 3 days.
hi , what is toosie?
Dyslexic stoners got really excited about the thumbnail picture. Lol.
Thanks, you’ve done all the hard work for me. Just moved into my granny flat close to daughter and son in law on 188 acres between Gympie and Maryborough. So on your advice I bought 2 birdies raised gardens from Bunnings. Easy peasy . Even put them together myself (Im a grandma) by hand , one screw at a time with the little thing they give you to tighten them. Well 3 hours later and arthritic hands very sore I realised I’d put the wrong pieces in the wrong place. Well along came son in law and the rest is history. Looking forward to following all your advice and start planting. I just need to tell my grandchildren. “Let’s get into it!”
This makes me feel so much better, I am struggling with a similar issue and seeing the video of your garden overgrown makes me feel better about mine!
sorry marc but i'd rather weed FULL pathways rather than free on my garden!! ;D
Hey Mark, love your videos!! They are very helpful and inspiring! For this year I'm wedding out all weeds by hand before flowing and leaving some plants of each species of veggies to flower with the hope that next season it will be more difficult for weeds to grow due to lack of space ☺️. Basically replace weeds with veggies
