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 🙂 #Raisedbeds #Garden #Gardening

  1. Make sure the sleepers (railway ties) weren't treated with toxic chemical preservatives if you decide to bury them in a veggie bed. I suppose if it was a bed for ornamental plants it'd be okay.

  2. I once buried my husband's old, worn out underwear (cotton Hayne's tighty whiteys). When planting in that spot a year later, I found the waistband, removed it, and threw it away. Try burying some cotton clothing.

  3. Mark have you tried burying straight weed tea. I've put weeds in big bucket. Sits there 4 months. Throw it straight in. Stinks really bad but my fig tree cutting is looking ultra green.

  4. I don't know why it triggers me so much when he says its "winter" as it's sunny as and he's in shorts and a tshirt. You Australians need to stop calling it winter, you have summer and mild summer lmao

  5. I kept my kitchen scraps in a sealed container on the counter (coffee grounds, fruit peels, egg shells, tea bags). When I collected enough I ran it through my blender with some added water then I dumped it into my container garden (small pot) and worked it into the soil.

  6. We had a bunch of jackrabbit and gopher nesting on our property this past spring. Once they started getting in the garden I started taking care of them. I took your advice from your last video and started burying them around our fruit bushes and trees. They have never looked better.

  7. I fish for lake trout and other big game fish in North America. I almost always bury the fish guts and skeletons in the garden.

  8. I've been watching your channel here and some interesting topics! I'm curious, do you purchase the worms for the garden or just let nature take it's course when you put a dead chicken or duck in the garden box? What is the best way to attract a lot of worms to the garden?

  9. Hey Mark. My brother and I are in Arizona and we love your videos. I wanted to tell you that I have been practicing composting in my small backyard for almost a year now. In my most recent attempt, I decided to do very little to the compost and see what happened. After a month or so, unawares to me, tomato plants and some type of melon or squash plant are growing in the compost pile.

    So seeing you add organic matter to soil has taught me some stuff.
    I'm going to keep practicing or in other words – "getting into it."

    Thanks for what you do.
