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 SSM 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 🙂
Loved this! Couldn’t take in most of the info because I was admiring the acting and camera work. Great video.
"put on the boots and plant some zuks" best quote, Im loving the show thats for the good info.
Just received my blue Self Sufficient Me t-shirt. Can’t wait to wear it when it warms up some. Zone 7a, Virginia.
No, bean plants DO NOT provide nitrogen to other plants. Most all – if not all – of the nitrogen produced by bacteria on bean roots goes into the bean plant itself – that’s the whole point. And much of the nitrogen that goes into the bean plant goes into the beans themselves. Which are what you harvest – removing the nitrogen. The only nitrogen left over is in the leaves and stems, which is only available to the soil if you work them into the soil and wait for them to break down, which can take a few years.
Great vid but please, as a Dutchie I just have to make sure people know it was the Dutch why carrots are orange!
Awesome vid, the Steve Irwin of the garden.
The idea of greens taking over my lawn is very good!
Love this video thank you
I wonder how you know when a carrot is ready to pick?
what in gods world was that music sample playing @1:39 ??
? Easy ? Maybe for you. I’ve been trying for 30 years. After this summer I’m giving up.
Got radish of those working for me. Carrots were tried a few different with no big luck, but they’ve all been orange varieties.
Had a real trouble with the weather the last few years though, snow in may? We had frost yesterday night. (May 9th) And even so we have our first harvest of raddish and spinnasch and sallad. Though the sallad is still very small.
When I grew up we used to be bathing in the sea by now. Where the hell is my global warming? Where’s my growing season?
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 (NKJV)
Salvation:
Confess and repent of all your sins in prayer in the name of Jesus.
Forgive those who have harmed you (this will free you from anger) as God forgave you.
Believe Jesus died to blot out your sins and proclaim He is your Lord and Saviour.
Believe He rose again 3 days later in the flesh by God’s hand.
Be baptised fully immersed in water and be baptised in the Holy Spirit (if possible).
Repent daily.
By grace you are saved through Faith (belief).
Live pure and stop sinning.
Follow the spiritual laws:
Love you neighbour as yourself and love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
Develop a relationship with God.
Be obedient.
Do fruitful charitable deeds.
Jesus is coming soon. We are living in the final days…
This guy is the Steve Irwin of plants
Love to see you being a ham! 🤣 My Asian mother in law grows a lot of the same stuff. Love it! 🤠
I would add potatoes to your list.
I’ve always heard that the larger the vegetable, the more tasteless it is. ??? So you don’t really want to grow carrots, zuchinnis, etc to grow too large. ??? 🙂
I was a little confused, when you go to the store to buy the Asian green seeds, is that what you ask for “ Asian green seeds”? Great vid!
I love this guy! Makes gardening awesome 👏

The tops are edible so why did you toss it? At least parrots can eat them.
I cannot get radish to grow and I keep hearing how easy it is.
You’re too funny 🤣 😂 😆 😄 xx

Unless you properly inoculate the beans with the appropriate bacteria OR you have that bacteria natively in your soil then the beans WILL take nitrogen from the soil instead.
Now the grow poppy and oppression in Afghanistan
Do you have any tips for getting rid of squash bugs. I’m get infested every time I try to grow organic zucchini. Thanks for your great videos.
I live in Japan. Beans are easy to grow here, but leafy veggies get eaten quite often by snails, birds and caterpillars. I haven’t had much luck. I have the most success with tomatoes, cucumber, and squash. I have not had any luck with carrots or radish. I need to protect my crops with netting, otherwise the bugs get into them.
I couldn’t help but think while you were topping those carrots that composting the tops is great for fertilizing, but feeding a herd of rabbits those carrot tops would be an even better source of fertilizer =)
can u plz tell me the name of the bean 0:50 .I really want to grow that variety.
This was very enjoyable
Damn you spend a lot of money on infrastructure for your garden. Out prices the produce.

I grew up in a time where money was very tight and food was short. I remember eating lots of radishes because they were so cheap.
We would butter untoasted white bread, place thick sliced radishes on top with some salt and call that a meal.
-beans
-asian greens
-zhuccini
-carrot
-raddish
NOOOOOOO. YOU CAN EAT THE CARROT LEAVES! WHY WOULD YOU TOSS THEM?!?!?!?! You can make them into chips to preserve them or you can use them as garnish or even in a salad. I love the list BTW. I’m gonna grow some radish soon and already have carrot growing. I just need to find some aisan greens I like because I barely ever have any.
I LOVE your videos! They are SOOO inspiring!
You know the world’s in trouble when you’re thinking of growing your own food — esp. if you live in the city….
Beans are an excellent food, but it has to be cooked. Raw, they are toxic.
Question I use to eat carrots as a kid growing up. Now I am way damn grown I am allergic to them. Is there a difference from store bought to growing your own?
Dip radishes in sour cream and oh so yummy 😋
Interesting that most of these are what my CSA grows and I pay good money for 😕
