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 🙂

  1. Heyo Mark! I've been watching for quite some time and I love how you add humor into your videos to keep us interested and make it all fun for everyone (kinda like Mr. Irwin did for me as a child). You're my gardening hero and I hope that I can teach people to love gardening like you do. Keep up the great work! Could you please link me to the seed sowing book you use? I can never seem to get my seed timing right and my garden has suffered for it.
    Thank you!

  2. Hi mate I love your channel. I want to share my experience. I live in the Philippines, temp 30C (86F) all year round, so this might be irrelevant to many of your viewers, but here goes. I was SOOO disheartened that my seeds never came up; I planted them in coco-peat and perlite, with a spot of vermicompost and left them under the bathroom sink, fairly shaded. Nothing came up at all. Ever. Yet most of my seeds direct in the ground germinated. Last week I said to my wife that I was going to plant the seeds then just leave them outside in starter pots. Within 24 hours I had 95% plus germination of radishes and carrots. I think that direct sunlight is ok for germination – it sure surprised me,

  3. I've just subscribed. I've been up most of the night watching backlog and trying to get up to speed. Haven't done much gardening in the past, rectifying that now. Bunnings love me.

  4. Hello Mark! Rogers Arkansas, USA here. Zone 7b. I've been watching and following your channel for years. I love learning from you. How much time would you add into a growing season by using a greenhouse?

  5. I'm interested in starting my own self sufficient farm plus be able to make some money on the side, I like gardening, I can spend all day outside with plants and I fully enjoy myself but I don't know where to start with planning, layouts, organic soil, soil plant relationship. Should I look at studying a full 3 year course, do some smaller online courses, buy some books? How do I break into the organic farming industry with no experience?
