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 ๐

G'day Everyone, CRIKEY I hardly took a breath in this video! If you have questions about raised beds or equipment check out the description below the video first to see if that helps. Cheers ๐
Time to get a cat for the mice.
Hobo. Lol, lol. That was one of the first videos i've watched from Mark.
Haha winter, cold and in tshirt? I envy you
God bless you all. 1Corinthians15:1-4=Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
Ephesian 1:13=In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth, the GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise.
Ephesian 2:8-9=For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast.
Romans 3:23-26=For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus. Without blood there is no life and without Jesus BLOOD no eternal life.

Look up Robert Breaker and Revelation Station on youtube.
Growing bananas…haha!
Perfect video timing. Just moved into my new house and starting to plant a few things.
Really wish I had your garden you have everything โคโคโค
Love your advise and watching your show. I'd plant some carrots in the skinny beds. We use carrots in so many dishes.
You're so thoughtful.
I'm in Thailand, gaining more knowledge will be used to make changes in the garden area to be more effective. Thank you.
You are completely amazing and so encouraging!! We have just 3 smallish raised beds and our first season of growing was a mixture of success and failure. Hoping for a better fall crop and looking forward to getting better each year. Thanks for what you do mate!
Try mashing up a lot of garlic and and put it everywhere your beans are. Also, mashup a lot more garlic (no big pieces, mash with extreme prejudice) and put into several gallon or larger, caped containers and fill with water, cap then set in full day of sun spot for a week or more (before planting the beans). Then plant your beans with mashed garlic spread all around them. Now sprinkle your garlic infused water on and around your bean area about 1 meter beyond. If you find a common entry point of the rodents, sprinkle garlic water all around it. Always keep creating garlic water every week.
For large rodents, along with garlic water but, with much less (about 70% less water) and substitute human (and if possible, preditor) urin.
Yes, piss! Scare those varments into thinking a large preditor is near by.
You could get a couple cats to help with the mice.
I thought it was too late to plant potatoes in QLD… I better get some more in!
I'm so excited for your romanesco! Mine are huge plants but no heads yet. My cheddar cauliflower is heading beautifully but the romanesco is teasing me. Of course we're getting to the end of summer not winter here so maybe they'll get to it in the cooler weather.
Hey Mark. Great video. Itโs nearly spring here now and Iโm wondering what plants I should be growing? Im down the road on the Gold Coast.
Love your channel especially you. Maybe youโre a cross between Russel Crowe and Steve Irwin. Lol
do you ever let your raised beds rest, or do you just refurbish the soil?
Refried pumpkin is delicious and you can season it however you like.
Love your take on packing as much as possible into the beds..
Great video. I think what you call pawpaw is the plant we commonly call papaya. I have not grown that yet, but I do have some small pawpaws (Asimina triloba). I think they might grow in your climate also.
You should see my winter garden. This year I'm growing snow, and I'm expecting a harvest of a couple feet.
Should've cut the pawpaw/papaya to head height, leaving the shorter side branches. They can produce for a long time.
"Nature does the job for me" – instantly steps on the grub. Had me laughing
Have you done a video on sweet potatoes. I am in uk but want to do them for my 1st time.
Hey Mark, where do you get good seeds? Not the hybrid stuff. Watching from Jamaica
I hope you sold or canned all those pumpkins! They're beautiful.
I'm going to buy some black plastic drainage culverts and utilize them as raised beds
