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, check out Marty's video here https://youtu.be/_MBQeeU5oAI and thanks for your support! I have met a ton of you over the past week (mostly in Ipswitch), and I've had a great time listening to your stories about what you are growing and how you are growing it. Good to see so many people "getting into it!" Cheers, Mark 🙂
G’day Mark… thanks for inspiring me! I’m getting better ❤️🩹 physically and so excited to get back into the garden this spring and summer!
Greetings from mid north coast Australia 🇦🇺… oi oi oi !!! 🤗🌴
Good man ! , inspiring mate ! Amazing how it can save some $$$ and keep good health.
It is like Gandalf visiting Bilbo!
Hope you had a couple of cold ones after that effort
oh my back
Good vid. We ALL need to help each other out.
Love the collaboration brings me to other gardeners.
Will be looking into getting these types of beds in the spring when i move. Live in Michigan USA will help with lengthening the growing season. It will also help since it is getting more difficult as the years go by to get down on the ground to garden.
Finding and creating allies is so important to self-sufficiency, as counter as it seems to the idea, having strong allies will make you better able to survive hardships that may arise.
Looks great! And am I the only one who doesn't care about the height difference? Gardening is a hobby for us all!
I learned so much about setting up raised beds and they made an awesome addition to my space. Thanks so much, Mark for the collaboration and helping me make, place and put these beds together. Happy Gardening Marty! 😀
Locked-in with storm "Nicole"…no power, 3 kids running amuck in the house..so nice to see a great vid! Thanks Mark!!!
Never forget: Old guys rule! Beautiful garden.
I love shady spots in the veggiegarden! I always plant my parsley, chives, celery and lettuce in the shade (and other green leaved veggies) and they love it. They grow much better there then in the full sun. Normally here in Belgium we have mild and wet summers but the last years we get very hot weather and I really see the difference in those veggies/herbs .
Thank you Mark and son, Marty is stoked 😊
Great to see your good work “Self Sufficient Me”, hope it’s been dryer, getting too dry in Sydney now.😊
New gardener here. Put in 4 4'x8' beds this spring. Luckily I got the sun part right. Learning so much from your channel on how to tweak and improve. I've learned that to become more self sufficient is not only about growing the actual plants but creating as much of the resources needed for planting and growth. Loved this video! Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
Great to see you back Mark , hope your back gets better soon. What’s the name of Marty’s channel please ? Another great video my friend, good luck and best wishes to you too Marty. All the best , from Britain 👍🇬🇧🇦🇺
Starting a new garden is SO exciting!! I’m looking forward to my kids and I’s volunteer work we’re hoping to get going here 😊 last year we started a small veg and herb garden for a local nursing home and plan on expanding to others in the area. I love watching your vids and applying things I learn to grow better food. Thanks so much for all you share! ❤
Marty and you – 2 of my 3 fav Aussie guys!! Much success to you!
you big nigga
