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 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 :)

in Denmark we always grow onions and carots in the same bed, they support each other in a great natural pest control. onion bugs don’t like carot bugs and carot odeur - and vice versa.

I appreciate your videos so much! No bullshit glamour shots or unnecessary musical montages or pontificating— just straight up USEFUL information.

I am just getting into your video's - this may be my 4th. one watched. I live in the U.S. here is North Carolina, but regardless of that, you give such thoughtful and detailed advice when it comes to each plant, taking the guess work out of it. Not only do you make it all seem so much easier, but truly fun and enjoyable. I Love to garden. I also LOVE finding others like you that don't make it look and sound so clinical and exact. I appreciate you! Thank you so much! God bless!

Onion prices in the philippines have been rising very quickly these past few months. My mom likes gardening and I've been trying to convince her to try farming onions. This video might be very helpful in just that. I'll this to her later.

Thanks for the info! Quick tip for those looking at "no-till" methods in raised bed such as these. Get yourself a nice fat PVC tube, drill lots of holes 3-5mm in diameter (more below the soil line than above) stick it in the ground as far as you can and fill it with composting worms such as red-wrigglers. Then just feed them your kitchen and garden scraps. Does a fantastic job at keeping the soil fertile with minimal effort.

I cut the bottom off of onions and plant them. I regularly add ash to my onion farms. (I use plastic kiddie pools for planters.) This is my first year. Thanks for all the great videos. You’re my gardening professor.

I just wanted to say that I love your videos. Gardening can be very intimidating, but you are so funny AND knowledgeable it just makes learning it with you a breeze. Keep it up man you are doing great work! Don't change your style!

I store my onions in pantyhose and tie each one off like a sausage link, all you do is trim the tops off and they slide right in then I hang them in a dark closet and they last for months. I just cut off a link when I am ready to use one.

Grew up helping my dad with his big garden. Finally got a home of my own and built a small garden with room to grow. Just found your channels and love listening/watching while I’m out working in my garden. Thanks man!

in my village we tie them using the dried stems like a braid, then hang them to dry, the same can also be done with garlic, and peppers even

I really appreciate how easy you were to understand with slow speaking clearly and not over explaining things just simple this is what works! Going to try this for my garden this year 😍

You probably won’t see this because it’s an older video. But I am 10 seconds in and I love your personality and energy. Immediately subscribing.

Inspiring! I've grown onions in a heavy clay soil with varying success. Love onions and envious of your growing climate, albeit each climate and soil type works well for different veggies. I'm in Scotland and I can tell you haggis, neeps and tatties is a popular dish because sheep, turnips and potatoes thrive here ;-)

[warrensaunders]

Really like your content. You explain things very clearly and put a lot of thought into how you make your episodes.

[FreyaFL]

I've been looking for someone to tell me just this! I have a smaller space that I want to plant LOTS of onions in, then use them as they grow. I'm not a fiddly gardener, so measuring everything was turning me off the whole process. Thank you for the great instructions!

My great great uncle Alfred breed and was actually the founder of kelsae onions in the 1940's and his son continued cultivating in the 1970's, noy long the royalties were sold to a local garden centre but unfortunately a good majority of the seeds were destroyed in a fire at the garden centre, we are trying to get the royalties back to keep the variety in the family, its amazing to see how far they have gone I never thought they would venture to places like Australia, we are still cultivating them and trying to save the variety hopefully we can 🤞

I bought some rolls of galvanized flashing at Home Depot . Figure out how deep you want them then I used tin snips and cut the roll in half to make two round circles line up the two ends of one half and don’t try to hold them together with bare hands us vice grips once you’ve ligned up the two over lapping ends hold it together with vice grips drill first hole through both ends and install a pop rivet then proceed to other end then the middle, about 6 rivets should do it . There’s no bottom . If you use them for potatoes all you have to is lift it up and there’s your taters oila

I don’t always grow whatever it is your episodes are about, but regardless I watch your videos because just a quick analogy you’re like the Morgan Freeman of the garden so you’re really easy to listen to and plus your information is really good to

I planted Egyptian Walking Onions this month. Love your approach to gardening and growing food. The books aren't always the final word on everything, especially your own experience and common sense. I love your videos.~~Zone 8, Texas, USA
