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 🙂
My neighbour gifted me a tool that I had never seen before, it is sort of like an inverted hoe, you just slide it under the top layer of soil and it cuts off all the weed seedlings
another very handy thing if it hasnt been mentioned is putting a second wheel on the wheel barrow, can use it one handed if needed and can carry heavier loads alot easier 🙂
So glad it’s not just me. The charcoal bags we use for barbecuing have the same strings and I just rip the bags open. People look at me like I’m a fool when I tear a bag of charcoal apart but I’ve never been able the get them to work consistently.
I just found you a couple of weeks ago and Oh what a blessing you are. I quit growing a garden about nine years ago. I wanted to start up again but felt lost. Not anymore Thank You. One thing I wanted to share. In Texas when I was growing tomatoes, we had a Stink Bug that damaged the tomatoes when they crawled on the fruit. We took a 55-gallon plastic barrel filled with water to about 9 inched from the top. Then cut Stinging Weed and or Bull Nettle growing on our place. Put the cuttings that filled a small wheelbarrow full into the water. Let it sit overnight. The water is now ready to dip out with a watering can. Pour over your tomatoes. The bugs will stay away and birds won't peck the tomatoes. I don't know if you have this plant down under. But It grows all over the United States. I hope this will help someone . Anyway thanks for all of your great information.
That extended saw contraption is also useful in a Zombie apocalypse
All I ever do with star picket removers is bend them and break them. Face palm
And he’s a veteran?
loppers work faster and easier than a hand saw.
Thors boots ! Awesome !
I use scissors to take cuttings and harvesting root vegetables and pruning and taking leafy vegetables and herbs
thanks man I enjoyed this

The second one is a nice design.
Love your videos mate. Im sure I'll come across a video for it at some point but how do you keep rabbits out of your garden? Do you just not have them there? Guessing you're in QLD somewhere.
“What brings you here to serve your country private?!”
“I came for one of those awesome trench diggers sir!”
I have to disagree that these tools are non-powered, Mark. They're powered by you; you're a DYNAMO, mate!
I was wondering about the hoe. But you have that military tool that works better for a raised bed. You came around though.
Kitana brand folding saws are my personal favorite they just collide through Greenwood
My mama always called it a hulihoe its a d ring with a flat sharp bottom and it cuts the roots under the dirt n pulls it up as like a sod layer
I'm late to the video, but my top tools include: a kneeling pad, a circle hoe, a hand spade, a long handled spade, a wheel barrow, a sprayer, a basket for collecting stuff in, my different pruners, a hose, and my labels for when I plant things!
Mark, you have a horse??? where is the horse mango taste testing video?
I'm SUBSCRIBING!!! Your a legend!!! I always wanted to do something with that broken saw!!!! Happy Gardening…. Bill. Sydney.
Tim Pool would love this channel
I love the video. So many tools i also use all the time. I never really thought of a folding table. I just built a garden table to have a work area to stand at. That drying/washing rack is great!. As for a hoe, I still have regular one, but my favorite is one i modified by cutting it into an narrow arrowhead shape. Vicious on weeds in between plants. Have you ever used a bow saw? Wicked sharp and cuts fast when I don't want to break out power tools. I'm really enjoying your videos. Very informative and remind me of some things that need doing.
thank you for all you do. I watch all your videos . happy new year from the desert in the U.S. 🙂
My favourite garden tool is a dibber. Great for planting seedlings
Hi Mark. I loved this segment about your garden tools. I have some smaller hand tools that I like to use. One is a small thing that looks like a short handled spade or a miniature. Also I have a 4 prong Rake, with long tines. The handle is about 18 inches and I like using it. It extends my reach and helps me dig around to loosen the soil so I can pull up the weeds. My other small tool is a 3 prong "fork" that I like digging with. It has a short handle. It helps pull up weeds that have really stubborn roots. I really enjoy watching your garden show. I am a U.S. citizen living in Iowa. So our seasons are quite different, but I like watching and learning.
