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 :) #garden #gardening #raisedbeds

My family has grown our own veg for generations. I remember as a child when my father planted seed he would say "One for the mouse. One for the crow. One to rot. And one to grow." He got that from his grandpa and I still say it now when I plant. Keeping the old tradition going.

Way back when, my father always had a moving trench in the garden. The base of this was filled with the kitchen scraps etc and back filled with the next trench that slowly got dug alongside. BTW when I had a lawn mower I used that to chop up small prunings and the old plants etc. I ran over it a few times then used the catcher on the last passing then add the clippings to the garden or compost heap. Speeds the whole decomposing process up. 👍😃 Thank you for all your tips Mark.

Agreed! They burn it, or put it in a compost heap, but just put it back in the garden. It's still composting. I don't just do that in the fall, but throughout the summer. When a plant isn't working or peters out, I pull it up and just lie it back in the ground. Unless it has a disease them I get rid of it

Thanks for the entertainment. I enjoyed watching you work so hard and put in those expensive amendments to grow a little corn. My method takes the least amount of work I could figure out to do and no amendments are purchased. I have a commercial mower with a grass catcher and hydraulic dump and a few acres. I till the quack grass that is always there. Then plant the corn with a push planter. Then dump the grass and weed clippings along the side of the corn and spread this mulch very lightly right after planting to confuse the pheasants and hold in the moisture. When the corn is big enough I heavily mulch with the grass and weed clippings. This provides all the nitrogen and fertilizer the corn needs and keeps the weeds down.

I don't have raised beds, as I grow mostly fruit trees. I do have some plants in containers. I try to keep things simple, as my "soil" is sand, in Florida near the beach. Very depleted. I do the chop and drop method for my star fruit tree and others, along with grass/weed clumps that come out of my lawn mower. I have an invasive vine that is all over my yard, and it's very viscous. It sticks on the underside so I have to scrape it off every five minutes or so. I chuck these onto the base of my trees and tuck a few into the white bearded orchid. I also dig soil from the alley where big trees have been dropping leaves, birds have been doing their thing, and the bugs and worms have found a home. This is wonderful potting soil, and I also use it as a fertilizer. Additionally, in hot dry weather I make soil/sand piles around the base of the trees after I water to help keep in the water. I find that the added dirt from anywhere leaks it's extra nutrients down into the dirt and since it's already broken down, the plant can use it right away. People think I'm crazy to say I fertilize with plain ol' dirt, but I do. I also stir around the base of the plants to break up the top and it helps release extra nutrients as well as lets in oxygen. My yard is lush and overgrown, which is unusual for this area.

I’m from lake Mac in NSW and I planted my first ever crop of broccoli this year and they’ve finally started to grow a head!!!!! I’m so excited, I also just harvested my first Beetroots! They were amazing… you’ve inspired me so much and my garden continues to grow every couple months 🌿🌿

Thanks Joe! Yeah, I guess there are a few steps to it but nothing hard (just like a recipe) and if done carefully it should work out nicely. Cheers :)

I have seen some gardening videos where they run a string a few inches above the seedlings and the birds don't like it and stay away. Also using tulle keeps rats, sguirels, rabbits, etc. away because they get their little claws caught in it and it makes them think it is a trap. I really like and appreciate your videos, thank you!

Fabulous video. I planted my zucchini, cucumber, and bean seedlings today, and I remember seeing in your other videos that if we have to use bought products (fertilisers, compost, seed raising mixes) use good brands. I am pleased to see that my seedlings had the best start using the same products as yours :). Thanks for your inspiration! I'm hoping to get soil delivered for my other raised bed tomorrow so I can plant my tomatoes :)

I can't wait to see how your corn comes out as here in the US we are told to plant it 2.5 to 3 inches deep ( a little past your second knuckle). This helps the plants have a deep strong root system. Also you may have stunted plants if all of the seeds germinate ( due to lack of space). I hope it goes well for you. I haven't seen many videos of corn doing well in raised beds. You may want to think about drip irrigation. And maybe a trial patch in the ground seeds space 8 inches or so apart in rows about 10 inches. 2 seeds per hole. Also if you pre soak the seeds it speeds up the germination. Love watching you. And want the best for your growing efforts.

That's what my dad taught me when I was a little kid. I use a old wood chipper for all my garden material. Go's right back into the garden or the compost pile. 👍

Love those raised beds. Those corrugated tubs are mighty pricey over here in the States, but they would sure be nice in the front yard. Look to be great back-savers!! What surprises me, though, is that as much as you like them .... you haven't taken the next step and used one to make a nice pool to relax in after a hard day's gardening. Here in America. using Stock Tanks to make into shallow pools, like a jacuzzi, is quite the trend and they work wonderfully. If you look around Pinterest and KZbin, you'll get tons of ideas on how to set them up, including using pool noodles to cushion the edge and installing jets for a relaxing massage. I looked all through your videos and was really sad to see you haven't already added one to your yard!
