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 🙂

G'day Everyone, I meant to post this video yesterday but it took longer than expected to edit – no use crying over spilt milk… Plant Dr details in the description above if you are interested. Cheers 🙂
epic video title
very nice video
cool
03:15 I liked your dad joke that came afterwords… I chuckled.
Yep when you mentioned that bag claims to feed for 12 months, I didn't quite believe it either. Never have seen something claiming that long for feeding.
I think the plant that went through the hole, was able to redirect energy to growing new leaves and stems, because you had removed the lower ones. That's my guess, but it could definitely use more testing with more stems through the milk bottle hole, to see more data.
hi mark
Everything I grow is in a container so I appreciate hearing container growing success stories.
nah, grew taller as it did not waste energy in lower branches, therefore put it all toward the top
those are some terrible puns. thumbs up for that lol
Ok I live in California and I have guinea pigs and I'm wondering how that would be for growing veggies I use wood shavings for them and I use alot just want to put on top for mulching
What is the weather in your locale. Its cold in nj usa here in feb
haha
you little bastard. how dairy come up with such a legendairy idea. thanks for being here mate.
I have some questions! Can you grow potatoes in a kiddie pool filled with soil? Also how do you know when it’s the right time to Harvest an eggplant?
Condensed!!!
Dude. You're on fire!
Thank you for being unapologetically yourself in your videos.
A fine selection of dairy puns, I feel like I'm there, I can smell the Dairy air.
The plant that was fed through the lid was likely taller because it was bottom pruned. This often pushes more vertical growth
Too much plastic . Too much dirt. Hydroponic is more efficient
Missed opportunity for "Let's get moo-ving!" :')
In American, some folks do something similar called winter sowing where we put out seeds in milk jugs in winter. They germinate when the weather starts to warm up but they are already hardened off, so they can get planted out sooner. I plant mine out when they are still small but they quickly take off. It’s especially great for anything that requires cold stratification.
Looks down at the cows feet… Lactose
Great Idea! We don't drink store bought milk but we do occasionally get those gallon jugs of Arizona Iced Tea with a handle, and I have thrown them away in the past! I'll be keeping them from now on 🙂
I have great idea for ya. There are these squashes/pumpkins called Zapatillo de Tronco, which are small green "pumpkins". Unfortunately, your pumpkin season is ending in the Southern Hemisphere but next year these can be something nice to grow
