In this video, I show how isolation is not something that concerns me much on our small homestead acreage food garden property.

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 🙂
Hey Mark, small satalite families some distance away coming together to work, men with men woman with woman. Kids with kids till they gravitate to the workers when they naturally mature. Sing along camp fires at night. What a perfect dream.
Australian birds sound so special. You can’t ignore them
is there anything that isn't good for the soil, in terms of composting ? Citrus, onion, garlic, etc, or is it all good ?
Nice place you have there ! ! !
Do you think if Scooter got into a fight with the python and got a nasty bite and died, you’d bury him under a banana tree like the kangaroo? Thanks for the videos you’re helping me grow my garden.
All growing up my mom never composted anything citrus. I was always under the impression it couldn't go in the compost. Can anyone offer tips/ info regarding the contrary?
3:42 NOPE!!!!! NONONONONONO!!!!
but at 6:00 Very Cool!!!
I have a small farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. Among other things, I have curtis trees, to include Oranges. I will just throw in my 2 cents worth here. While I am not familiar with the life cycle of that particular moth, I would very much caution everyone on the practice of simply raking the dropped fruit under the host tree. Additionally, I would very much caution people from simply composting these fruit in the pile. My view and my approach is this… In my experience, I get damage that looks identical to this problem. In my case it appears to be various types of fruit flies. So if I use one or both of the above mentioned methods I am only contributing to the propagation of the next generation of citrus pests. Much as you say about the handling of dead diseased plants. Don't compost, burn. But in my case I want to break that life cycle of the fruit flies. So, I place the fruit into a closed container such as a bucket with a lid and let them rot down inside. In this manner the next generation of fruit flies cannot go from larva to flies and carry on.
Always keep as much of the moldy and rotting fruit cleaned up as is possible or practical.
Peace. Love. Aloha.
Used to have carpet, green tree and ball pythons, beautiful animals!❤️
You are like the bob ross of life omg
Yikes…I'd never go out into my garden again if I saw a python in a tree.
love the videos mate new subscriber big love from the uk carry on the great work pal
That python had an amazing pattern on it. I’m kind of surprised he didn’t move it off the property though, I’d be worried about it getting into the pet or fowl area.
Can someone help me deter cats from spraying around my apartment? I have many plants outdoors and I think it's burning the leaves
Love your videos beddy
Keep it up mate.
Just recently discovered your channel Mark. Really enjoy it and the your tips. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Can u wax your orange bottoms so they dont suck em
Hang mothballs in your orange tree to get rid of the moths.
Can you not just put a net over the orange tree
Today, but these colors in past might have signified fear in fact – blue ocean waters a symbol for drowning and lush green on the other hand a refuge for predator to hide in. Nowadays, culturally, we maybe lack a contact with nature where we evolved, so as a rulers of this planet we now idealize it.
Your a real inspiration Mark, love your videos – you always bring a smile to the camera and its infectious! A BIG thumbs up to you – always look forward to the next vid ……. cheers from the Goulburn Valley (Vic)
Old video I know, but back home in the UK the bigger birds are known to pick adders up and drop them on roads where it gets a lot of traffic. Especially if they get close to nesting areas. I know they're not as dangerous or as dig as same here in Aus, but it's cool the birds have worked out a way to control their own pest.
feb 2021 – So happy to stumble in your channel! I live just outside of ESK – from CITY to RURAL – just starting enhancing knowledge about going off the grid/ self sufficient. Your videos are helpful to me and thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you so much for making these videos. They're great to refer back to, and over all they've been a huge help and an inspiration.
It's also really funny how your moths and spiders resemble ours over here in the southern US.
I love having snakes in the garden. They keep the mice away, and they're adorable. Your chickens and ducks are precious btw. We can't have yard fowl of any kind where we are, but I love yard birds all the same.
Python in your yard ? YIKES ….. We've had our share of timber rattlers ( NE Florida) …hate snakes ! Love your vids !
