Thanks Ben and crew, for taking the time to come and visit my property I had a great time showing you guys around! I have since removed that dead olive tree (shown in the video) and replaced it with an orange. It should be more productive lol… Cheers π π
Mark has to be my favourite person on the internet! I could walk his garden for years ! Thanks for sharing
hmm it was commented that it's good to rest the beds and not have stuff growing for a while… that's not true at all- it's best to keep roots in the ground to feed the microbes, otherwise the soil life dies back especially if you've pulled the plants out roots and all. Just top dress with a bit of compost and cut your plants at the base if your bed is not in use or is just receiving some young transplants, that way you keep deep organic matter of the roots in for the microbes, don't disturb them as would happen if tilling, and add more nutrients from the compost dressing
This is the video I've been waiting for so long since last year i found and subscribed to this channel im from New Zealand
Doesn't know what Galangal is π
Wonderful video. Mark is an inspiration!
watching in UK, thanks for posting this.
How do you deal with predatory animals?
When are we going to get the Self Sufficient me Short Shorts? We are waiting.
Are you guys not scared of poisonous snakes, spiders, and others?
Do your rats eat your sweet potatoes? I had a couple of large bins of sweet potatoes and the rats went in and ate them from under the ground. What do you do about it?
I love Mark from Self Sufficient Me! Been watching him for years and he always inspired me β€οΈ
i love marks channel and this was a great tour
By hyping up and exaggerating youtube cheerleaders do way more harm than good.
32:51 … that little kid… "Daddy, Daddy… I found some already… I am the biggest!" … … from 33:09 on … That`s what adult are looking for to feed the familly… you little poor proud too early boy!
Haha the look on Marks face when you kept picking his coriander flowers π
That pepper tree by the coffee tree is not Tasmannia lanceolata. Wrong leaf shape and colour + wrong stem colour
ΞΞΏ flowers? Thats kind of disappointing
I truly enjoyed this! Thank you both! Learned a lot and laughed too. I hope to c more of these!
Wow imagine living in the tropics! I would love to grow tropical fruit they are the best of all the fruits! That would be so cool! Iβve grown melons here in the uk using heated ground. I will try them this year too! But in the greenhouse! But could you imagine having a banana tree? Or half the fruit π yum! Iβd be so happy! Lol but I do love my peach treeπ
How does the water scorch the plants if you water during the day?
I don't understand.
Haha this is funny on so many levels, good to see you guys talkin garden shit
What? An 1 hour long tour? Wow
Looking great very inspirational! Im focusing more on perennials these days for the long run!

Absolutely love Self-Sufficient Me! I have watched his channel for years and I really enjoyed this walk about on Mike's property, thank you. I had never seen your channel before but now I will be looking for your videos as well.
I started growing a yellow dragon fruit from seed. Good information.

Barbados cherry is super high in vitamin c. Mine died. π’
I LOVE Mark and his garden is inspiring! Best garden ever!!
Wow, look at how fake his "pump" is, trying to look energetic, 2 much bouncing and arms flayling. Looks like an idiot.
Mark doesn't live on the sunshine coast either by the way, he is closer to North Brisbane.
It is a Black Pepper plant and it is a creeper
I absolutely LOVED this video!!!
I have a Valencia orange grove in Mexico and if you irrigation the trees the oranges will not need to be picked for up to 3 more months. The locals distinguish orange cultivars by temprana y TardΓa which is early or late oranges. Navel and Bulls blood are some local early verities that have great taste but ripen very fast and must be picked.
"Botany plants lately?"
Thanks for this video I've been following his channel for many years and I've always wanted to see a tour of his whole garden….
You are so lucky!! I would give anything to visit Self-sufficient Me garden. I just love his Channel and have learned so much form him even though I am in Central Mississippi, totally different climate. I have 3 Pineapple plants that are huge now in my High Tunnel because of him.
Great Tour! Great garden!
Omg I should be there
