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 🙂
Nice
Hi Marc, any advice in what to do with a very weedy patch I want togrow veg on pls
I wish I had enough land to have a big garden like this that I could explore every day 🙁
Right now I only have a few potted plants and am planning on making a garden bed, but even the half a dozen plants I have now are enough to keep me occupied for half an hour a day just looking at them and seeing how they're going and watering, etc.
Those water puns at the start, amazing!
Nice
I like added dead fish medium size or save fish guts and chuck into a new compost still adding normal stuff and its pretty good.
"you can wiggle it around for fun"
Ggggg
For mildew, just mix some fresh milk with water and spray it on the plants. The milk bacteria will eat the fungus. Works really well!
Ark is that pea hay on the surface of the beds I’m from Perth WA thanks for all you invaluable help!
Thank you for all this helpful info Mark!
"Ah McCain, you've done it again!"
This is very useful and interesting. It sounds difficult. I really haven't successfully grown anything yet. Still on a very small scale, but planning on building some raised beds soon.
I keep my garden healthy by making a homemade solution of fertilizer. All you need is…
5gal bucket
Manure(I use rabbit)
Grass clippings
2-3 tbsp Epsom salt
Optional: 1/2cup of tomato and vegetable food.
Let it sit covered up for at least a week and dilute when using it.
Hi Mark,I know you are busy with your farm,have a look my comments to get back to me ASAP,,
What you think of neem oil with Shampoo mix to spray to chase the bugs !,, ,Is that oganic?,,
Hi Mate , how do I grow kale in west Africa in a flower pot? Thanks for sharing all these information.

Diluted Aspirin is great for boosting plants disease fighting abilities, as well as colloidal silver.
Coffee sprayed on and around seedlings is a blessing to keeping the slugs away aswell.
thank you Mark
Hi Mark, you are obviously having lots of fun in your beautiful country garden. Thanks for all the great info. I immensely enjoy watching your programme and seeing your lovely wide open spaces. I'm living in a small city unit,
The way you threw your shovel – you mean business. Great Tips Mark!
Put onion and garlic skins in a jar with water, let sit a few days, then spray the stinky onion water on the plants being nibbled by critters. They will stop eating them and you get beautiful new growth. 100% organic and free!
Another way is to remove or pluck weeds
