Just wanted to say thank you for these videos. We live in SE QLD (about 2 hours west of you) and find your recommendations and experience invaluable. My partner and I were so excited to use our tax return to buy our first raised garden beds last weekend - Birdies of course, thank you for the discount. We have now upgraded from containers and one in ground bed to four 1.2 x 2.5m raised beds. We have saved so much money and gained immeasurable mental and physical benefits from gardening and would love to buy you a beer if we are ever in your neck of the woods. Never doubt the good you are putting into the world!

I for one watched your whole video and enjoyed it very much. I don’t live in a subtropical climate so it’s interesting to see what you are growing that I can’t. We do a lot of salmon fishing and the freezer burnt or to old to eat always gets ‘planted’ in the garden. People have been doing this for hundreds if not thousands of years. Why someone would leave a negative comment is beyond me. Using everything is a good thing. Especially animals that we eat should never go to waste. We use the heads for crab bait. We use the bones of deer and elk for bone broth and making bone meal for the garden. Your garden is so beautiful! I have two gardens and I know it takes hours and hours every day to keep it going. And sometimes it fails. I just had a Vole do what your cockatoos did to my pole beans. :( oh well, next year….😊

And I made a green onion powder/flakes from the flower stalks of the walking onions. It is like you ate fresh onions, but a minute or two ago, and maybe a bit got stuck in your teeth. It’s so fun. Most of the garlic 🧄 was tiny, so some I put in a foil pack in the oven and roasted them till I could squeeze out the goo, instead of trying to unwrap a 1000 tiny cloves. I just love growing stuff.

"Food gardening is about what's growing, not what it's growing in"... love that! And I would add that it is also about the crop you get, not what the plants look like. Because it's so easy to get worried about the appearance of the plants (they're not green enough, or their leaves are being damaged, etc.)... but some of the best tomatoes I've ever tasted were off of plants that looked TERRIBLE! So it's really important to get out of that "house plant mentality" when you step into the veggie patch...

Wondering if you’ve ever grown Elderberry?? Thanks for the walk about round the garden 😊👍 Everything looks great. Sorry to see the damage the pesky critters do, but if Im honest, I did giggle since I deal with the same torture! 🤭 Little buggers I’ve never left you a comment, but since you mentioned our 3 sisters… I felt I should. Our people supposedly came up with that design and it is a great way to grow the 3 up 🎉 We found a garden clay that is sprayed onto the plants. It looks odd, but doesn’t hinder the sun doing its job for photosynthesis but it does taste yucky to the pests… including snails, slugs, squash beetles etc and the birds don’t like it either YAY!! We have been having great success for our first year using it. We had to spray the fruit trees as well and its made a huge difference. Thanks for your time and the lovely videos. Much Appreciated!! PS you can eat / drink the aloe Vera as well as using on your skin!

Love how you do all these experiments so we can learn from you! I don’t have a full veggie garden yet, but I have learnt so much from you with my front garden which is more floral. I built 2 years ago and I’ve been using mulch to improve the soil, turning it in every 6 months and adding more on top. I now have beautiful soil developing and earthworms in it! Just from using the cheap Bunnings water saving mulch. When I turn it in I add compost and add a lot of soil wetter to it. So happy with how it’s developing! Thank you!😊

I love planting different veggies together so they have new “friends”, I also plant flowers around the edges for the bees and for me. Lots of marigold and calendula, lobelia and nasturtiums. Good to know I’m on the right path. We’ve also got our first compost this year… wish us luck, we don’t know what we will find when we take the side off! 🐦‍🔥

They’re called potato onions because, much like when you plant one seed potato and end up with several tubers, when you plant one potato onion, you get a mess of more onions at the end of the season. An excellent onion that I have found will bulb up nicely in short day onion areas with some nitrogen fertilizer. But they don’t keep for more than about 4 months.

Hey Mark, sorry the cockies raided your garden, I know how that feels. I planted freesias in my new garden (4 years ago) and as they started shooting out of the soil, the cockies & long bill corellas came down and ate them. I woke one morning & caught them having breakfast on freesia bulbs! They seem to have an instinct for bulb plants & know to dig for the bulb. Probably what “saved” your garlic was the taste of the leaves. In the wild these parrots love nut grass, they help spread it into our gardens where we don’t need it. With the potato shoots, it could have been the high moisture in the stem & that “snapping sound” that makes them happy (😢 sorry) Since I started feeding my wild friends with wild bird seed from Woolies, I havnt had any destruction in 4 years. PS. They might come back for your passionfruit 😮

Thanks for the garden tour! Love the ideas and prolific growth that you have with your garden. I am more a desert environment, but get lots of ideas from what you share. 😀

Greetings from the Sunshine Coast. Thanks for another super interesting video, Mark. After seeing this video I now know that it is not too late to plant my sprouting potatoes, and an asparagus tuber start. It is warming up too fast this year. Hard to believe that it is still winter.

Ananas (ah-nah-nah) is french for pineapple. Noir (n-wah-r) is also french for black. So black pineapple tomatoes.

Mark you make my day! I just added another small patch to my garden, and hopefully one day all have maybe a 1/3 of what you built. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for all your help. We are in the United States ( Arizona) We grow year round here except 2 months in the extreme heat. I'm in Yuma, one of the grow capitals of the world. Self sufficient me has been a blessing! Thanks again!

That's amazing! Have you gardened before? If you were willing, Mark has a forum and we're always interested in how people grow food and what techniques they may use. It's called Self Sufficient Culture, and can be found in this video's description box. You can click below if preferred too. We hope to see you there ;) www.selfsufficientculture.com/

Love your videos! I've always had bad luck with peppers. No matter whether I buy plants or seeds I rarely get a good harvest. This year the orange bell peppers I planted from seed all died before I even got them in the garden. So, I happened to buy a red bell pepper from the store and decided to start some seedlings from those seeds. I now have ten huge plants with more than 10 peppers on them.

I did a similar experiment this year with my potatoes. I popped off the 2 to 3 inch eyes and only planted those. Some did better than others but I did get potatoes from just the eyes. I hope it works for you!
