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 🙂 #garden #gardening #raisedbeds

Do you have ground moles like we do in the Mid west of the U.S.A ? I have had to line the bottom of my raised beds with mesh wire in order to keep the voles and moles from wrecking them .
Just replying to what you say 15 minutes in… the camera angle works great. I think it’s completely appropriate for you style of content, we can see more of the garden beds 🙂
You're amazing. Love your vids. Kiaora from NZ
Good day just use that and put is on a hat
Gardening hat, sounds like a good idea to me Mark

Are those raised beds made from galvanized metal?
If they are is that bad for the soil over time?
Gardin to it

I still share with my neighbours. Especially my fruit. Our property creates too much fruit so I’m happy to share

Keep pushing for the advancement in tech.
I’m still waiting to be able to get internet here.
Hi from Texas
When I grow old Ill gonna do the same thing w/ my mom's lot…Youre really an inspiration, thank you ❤️
Your live streams are great
Great down to earth guy….your so right Mark about the muscle memory at a young age,and keeping it going into later life.Love your garden…im in Tassie in a temporate climate,but i still get so much out of your utube videos,all the time….take care..see you next time.
Awesome content, it was so refreshing to hear.. nature in its rawest form.
I don't do "self sufficient", I do "self reliant ".
I do what I can, wrt my needs and vision, but know I can't do everything myself.
Honestly you could sit that camera out there all day and I can just listen to the environment! I love it! Hamilton, Ohio U.S. here- 6B just north of Cincinnati and the Ohio River. Love your channel and can't wait for a Gardener's hat ❤️
You know it's amazing to me as many people use pallet compost bays, you are the first person to actually explain taking the unfinished compost and flipping it from Bay one to Bay 2 and then the finished to bay three! I built three for myself and I figured it was the way it was supposed to be but for years I've been watching YouTube and here you're the first person to actually lay it out in steps! LOL thanks mate!
You're a great guy.
hi from portugal
The bird song is marvelous.
I like your ideas of barter and exchanging things. I love the community you are establishing. Would love to join your community and learn how to grow food in my back yard. I'm in NSW how do I join your community?
