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'm in cedarvale, could u please provide a list of what grows best when. Thank s
I live in Perth, barely know what rain is haha
Very well said, love your videos
Maaahhhkkk,, [can't help myself]… I live in Arizona and we have arid and semiarid subtropical climate. We grow all year but the summers can get so hot it burns things off if we don't use gardeners mesh cover to control the amounts of sun over our beds. Since we only get around 10 inches of rain each year, we have to collect all that we can. Also our watertable keeps dropping more and more each year so to dig wells we are talking 350 feet down or more. So a person has to get very inventive with water collection. The best thing is to have inground [buried] water tanks to collect everything . Cistern/ poly tanks [filtration and infiltration] for all the green needs.
She's fairly wet out here indeed
Really interesting. Food for thought. I'm still working full-time, so I have to pace myself: space – limited, passion – plenty, time – limited. But as you say, be SS in something. I'm always inspired by your presentations. (and yes, I like to feel the soil/compost with my hands too!)
I love you Mark! You’re so great!
I would say Patience is probably the biggest tip to be successful lol I live in zone 3, sometimes we have snow well into May 🙁
My god that was the best into ever hahaha as a 19 yr old future sustainable gardener I am obsessed
You say the worlds not going to end in ten years… but have you not seen what’s going on? And what’s happening? The elites of the world are preparing for it. Satan knows it, he knows his time is short.
And lastly the Bible tells us this is how it will be right before the end. And it lines up perfectly just as the Bible says. We are at the end of the 6th day and the seventh being the last.
There’s no denying it if you read your Bible ,
Love you all, don’t let the is scare you but rather be prepared and watch
Such great advice, thank you!
Beautiful video Mark …Makes me love my garden even more and inspires me to "getintoit " every day .
Your garden looks wonderful and I totally get your ethos. The UK cold weather and rain is killing off our crops and the warm growing window has reduced to 5 months. Oh to dream of living in Aus.
I think I'm under fertilizing. It seems nothing gets very big, even though I use the fertilizer rates the bag suggests. It seems guys like Mark use so much manure, I mean, he's got to be using a f load to produce that stuff, and all bunched up close together
In some states in the US storing rainwater is a crime. Since some states call rain property of the state
Great comments at the end!
Hello Mark, what makes your garden so successful is your abundance of variety. You don't get tired of eating the same old thing all the time. Jessie USA Oh yes try to find the Wild Lettuce for a good pain relief its legal here in the USA you can get instructions off the Internet.
♥️ beautiful garden beautiful thought…
Grow your wife a couple of flowers!
Happy wife happy life!
One of the reasons for my garden not being very successful is the damn deer!
I've started to watch your videos nearly every day and really appreciate them!! Just wondering, how do you get by financially? are you guys retired? I think that is the only thing keeping me from changing my lifestyle to a similar one
Love your ethos..
..I totally agree….
Those figs at 13:00 blow my mind… How tall is that f'n tree? :O D:
You may not be able to eat money, but if you bury it your plants eventually could. =P
I am putting more into my vege garden thus year. I do not have the space you are fortunate to have, l am going to plant much more with planning
