White vinegar would work as well if it's just a calcium buildup

[@cavedman7870]

Full Strength Vinegar works just as well as using CLR. Appropriate levels of Vinegar in your diet is a way to combat Kidney Stones, which are in most cases Calcium lumps. A good example is the school experiment of putting a whole raw egg in vinegar & watching the shell dissolve off it over a few days. Another good Tip is to always have a spare on hand, so when you are fixing one you still have one to use. Edit: fixed some spelling mistakes.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Yes great point about using vinegar and also about eating it (or using it regularly in one's diet) it makes sense that it cleanses our insides as well as being good for us in many other ways! Thanks for sharing your tips. Cheers :)

[@cavedman7870]

I mentioned it because people can make their own Vinegar, from the Plants they grow & thus it's just another way to be more self sufficient.

[@thomdavis4142]

Use the cheapest white vinegar to do this. It is very effective. To make it even more powerful add a little baking soda to the mix.

[@wwsuwannee7993]

Also another quick tip if you don't want to go with the fancy sprayers. The old fashioned brass nozzles that look like a firehose and you twist to adjust, never break and never clog and last forever, you just don't have as many spray options with them, you will lose them before they wear out lol. Good vid, thanks Mark gg.

[@vincentkruskal3884]

I have three of those and two don't pass water. That's how I find myself here. Any idea what could be done. I don't think I can unscrew the two halves the way I see in KZbin videos for Nysist nozzles.

[@stagnantfox3027]

You can also use vinegar, it just takes more time for the calc to dissolve.

[@lindahipple4817]

Time Axl 30%vinegar from amazon works fast(over nite)

[@howieb38]

6/29/2019: Did it on my three year old, very clogged nozzle. Worked like a charm. Thanks Mark.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

I’ve used both CLR and vinegar, both with good results. The CLR is faster but, given time, I’m hoping to start making my own vinegar and distilling it to increase strength. Great video Mark! I always enjoy your take on self sufficiency! God bless you brother! You looked so depressed when it wasn’t working!😂😂❤️

[@Selfsufficientme]

Hey Michael! Homemade vinegar mate is such a top product to make! We've made our own before with our homegrown apples and it was delicious. Such an excellent cleaning product too. Cheers mate :)

[@edieboudreau9637]

Self Sufficient Me making vinegar now with pineapple peels & core. Done by 15th.

[@diazgrows9165]

Good reminder. I've used the CLR product before for the exact purpose and it was definitely effective.

[@viperh9948]

Always the good reminder to clear not only your spray nozzle but all your equipment. TY

[@Selfsufficientme]

Great advice! :)

[@Blakehx]

Thanks, I'll definitely give this a try... my grandparents have lots of sprinklers and sprayers that are clogged from their well water!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Great stuff! :)

[@wellallrightthen]

Love it! Such a competent presentation. How very refreshing. Thx

[@BoothProof]

Hi Mark, great tips as always thanks. I noticed your Amazon link to the Hoselink products is for the US Amazon site and they specifically say the product doesn't ship to Australia. If you are getting any click-through revenue by sharing the link, it may be useful to also include a link to the Aussie Hoselink site where you can buy direct from Hoselink. Keep the videos coming, they are very inspiring.

[@nocminer9029]

Origano technique... I learn from you in every video. :)

[@sjohnson5602]

I use muriatic acid (used in pools, spas and for cleaning). Clear up in minutes.

[@yeshuaisthewaythetruthandt515]

Thanku. I see the difference. I used vinegar in a ziplock n soaked my shower head overnight. I’m yet to try this tip formula.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Great tip on the vinegar! :)

[@hyperqueenhzm]

You are hilarious and so informative! I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel!

[@alloyrimz7318]

GOT a hoselink today.unbeatable

[@swissmaid]

They are so annoying! Thanks, will try for sure!

[@SR-mm2ru]

That drama tho lol

[@bigtommyg8315]

Hey mark I love your channel a lot it's the best plant channel on KZbin one quick question I live in the. U.K. And I can't grow good tomatoes were I live will I be successful growing indoors under a 300 watt led light.

[@4Score747]

Thanks!! I signed up with”Hoselink USA!”

[@wildchook745]

Men and their garden accessories LOL That was funny, Mark. I appreciate the tip. Many times I got wet watering the garden because I buy a cheap hose and its bits LOL

[@Selfsufficientme]

Cheers Mary! :)

[@melvanini]

My kids used to stick the sprayer in mud and it would get caked with it. *facepalm* I really hope I've cured them of that habit!

[@HappyfoxBiz]

Hoselink is good, I saw them being used at Bunnings and thought I would look them up, the only downside is the hefty down payment, but in the end... if it lasts a long time in Bunnings Nursery then it would last a while in everyone's garden... but, Bunnings Nursery's are usually UV protected so there is that question of how long it lasts in direct full sun. So, the only reason why I haven't tried them is because of the hefty down payment

[@edieboudreau9637]

Another way is to soak in baking soda solution for an hour then submerge in white vinegar till bubbling stops rinse and check if necessary repeat with a longer time in the baking soda solution. ( 1 cup baking soda added to 2 cups boiling water and stir well till dissolved. Use hot or let cool- your choice)

[@edwinmiranda8174]

Thanks

[@tineejohnston9737]

Thank you Mark good tips 😇🇺🇸🇵🇭😎

[@linmann3358]

Thanx Mate !

[@cb3dagoat644]

Loved your videos

[@StillSwirling]

CLR is the best!

[@ronelcabrera5191]

bingeing your videos, great job, that 'How to basic beginner Gardening Tips" really owning that dad cringe jokes.

[@jorasparents]

Omg, the beginning - hilarious!

[@GoldenCocky]

Hey! You can achieve the same result with common vinegar!

[@WONDERring]

Oree-gone-oh. Haha. My French mother says it like that.

[@wazowski6709]

Loved the dramatic overacting at the start, reminded me of the old Demtel infomercials 😂👌

[@timehasbegun5828]

Great video mark. Let me ask you a question how do you keep rain water from growing algae?

[@Selfsufficientme]

We don't tend to get an algae problem Mari. I think the tank needs to be fully enclosed and not allow sunlight in at all plus no nutrients such as animal poop should be allowed to contaminate the water but honestly I don't know a lot about it. :)

[@timehasbegun5828]

Thanks Mark I really appreciate you getting back to me I love your channel keep up the good work and thanks for all the info it helps me a lot

[@marilyngandhi4213]

Thank you :))

[@garyvee6023]

Best thing I ever put on at my house was the retractable hose.

[@carinakaarli4784]

Vinigar and bakingsoda mix!

[@RahmatAbdulManap]

Oregano technique 👍👍

[@riversidecountryclub2211]

Thumbs up Sir !

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Mark. 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[@mvblitzyo]

Super !

[@heatherreis7839]

not really anything to do with the hose but with ants. do you have any videos on how you control ants in your garden/lawn? i live in florida and am having the most difficult time trying to get rid of them!

[@jyeellis1130]

Show all the the plants your growing

[@Selfsufficientme]

I'll hopefully be uploading a seed saving video this weekend which will showcase a lot of what's growing at the moment in our garden. Cheers :)

[@HappyfoxBiz]

Ants... they once nested inside the CDROM drive of my computer, killed the CD drive but was fascinating to see how they nested in so well... and this computer was used 24/7

[@karenpuschmann4157]

Great ..i just wish i had your water pressure

[@Selfsufficientme]

Hi Karen, our water pump is a cheap Chinese made standalone ($180) German designed but made in China it's very effective at pumping water even a few hoses at a time! All the best :)

[@eatyourgarden]

I love cheap nozzels, they are made of plastic and plastic doesnt rust.

[@Selfsufficientme]

The screws that hold them together do! And the cheap joins and rubber seals leak like an Asian fishing boat. 👍🙂

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Oh Yes. I was going through one every six moths because I have the habit of letting the hose hit the ground and it would crack and I would always leave it where is lay. Meanwhile ants, the kid, the pets where all having their way with it. Knowing myself, I knew I wouldn’t change my wicked ways so I bought an expensive one to take all the abuse. I have had it for years.

[@Selfsufficientme]

LOL fantastic! :)

[@ElChones]

do you ship to the US for shirts and merch?

[@Selfsufficientme]

Yes for sure! Spreadshirt is based in the USA and this is my shop goo.gl/ygrXwU Cheers :)

[@ElChones]

thanks a lot! picked up a shirt with small logo!

[@JulieMarshall-r8n]

I have a creature stuck in mine, so I will need to disassemble. Lesson learned: run the hose before you connect the nozzle. 😢

[@ghamraoui305]

Or soak in vinegar

[@sterlinghawk_g20]

did both vinegar first and then had CLR at home. Neither worked

[@Tom22Lr]

If I had bore water I would have irrigation on all night

[@jeffygbeck]

isn't it cheaper just to buy the new hose attachments? CLR is like 19 dollars compare too the sprayers like 5 dollars

[@Selfsufficientme]

You reuse the clr liquid pour it back into the bottle and store it away or use it for other purposes 👍

[@jeffygbeck]

oh didn't know you could reuse clr then I will definitely give it a try thanks for the tip mate

[@oopssugar]

Nope that costs alot and vinegar is almost free and works amazing it unclogs everything with a bit of baking soda too.

[@wendyshipley6799]

Is is just me or did you notice that @ 2:51, the sprayers are different?

[@Selfsufficientme]

It's a conspiracy! Cheers :)

[@topgrain]

I had ants invade an open hose i accidentally left stretched out on the edge of my yard. I capped off one end, but forgot the other. I have no idea how deep the ant colony was in the open end, but the hose was shot.

[@karenkmk4035]

😂👌

[@Esther-wt8ww]

Too much talking

[@nowthenad3286]

That acting was painful to watch.

[@C80ree]

Why have you changed the way you do things? Up until now you have been putting your content first and only asking for subscribes likes and patreon support at the end of your videos. I did not watch this video because I didn't like the way it started and I gave it a thumbs down. I might be the only person who feels this way but to me this was disappointing. And if you're going to do all your videos this way I will probably unsubscribe. I don't like the way people on youtube ask for likes, subscriptions and support on patreon before you even see what they have two show you (just my opinion).

[@YouRemindMeOfTheBabe.]

I half expected you to tell us how to keep crocodiles and kangaroos out of your garden when I heard your accent 😂.

[@matthewhathaway8622]

Thanks
