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 :)

G'day Everyone! I'm posting this video on election day in the USA so I hope it's not a "rotten egg" lol... Seriously, for those of you in America watching this, I do wish you all (in the biggest democracy in the world) the very best. Whoever wins, I'm just thankful we live in countries that enable us to vote freely. As always, thank you all for your support, and make sure you Get Into It! Cheers :)

You inspired me to build a bed and grow a garden. First year was a success 😁

A gardeners dream is to do comparisons.

Apparently a fish head under a tomato is awesome

[jeshurunfarm]

I am most definitely doing that with my next tomatoe bed.

i use an egg and a banana under each tomato I planted this year. Best yield ever!

Thanks for your diligence to conduct these types of experiment in the garden and to document and share your results. Your efforts are appreciated!

Everytime I watch you, I get some great nuggets of advice. EVERYTIME!!! Thanks for your wishing us the best during a very uncertain and nervous day. What we all need to remember that the change we want in the world starts with us.

Thank you! Just watched a guy say the egg thing was rubbish well now I know better!

>50% increase is not just some tiny increase. That is tremendous.

[ericarose]

that's more than a 50% increase, that's phenomenal! That's fantastic, I love these garden experiments!

Thanks Mark I love your channel. I also get a kick out of your lame dad-jokes. Please never change. Your channel is a gift to the world- I’m watching from Chicago and can’t wait to plant my tomatoes.

I absolutely enjoy these videos and am learning so much from them. Thank you for making them. Subscribed. 👍

[cheripierre]

Awesome video Mark, I guess I'm going to tunnel under my new tomato seedlings I just put out yesterday and shove an egg or two under each of them. I'll remember this for future planting for sure. Your wisdom and experience are greatly appreciated from this 62yr old 1st time serious gardener.

Make chili verde sauce with the green tomatoes or “pickle relish” my kids love it !

[elizabethveness]

thanks for doing these experiments. for those of us with limited space its always good to know how to get the best from your crops.

[mixalispatsourakis]

Mark I show my respect! You give a lot of help to ordinary people to cultivate their food with good results!!

[riccardoberry]

Man watching these makes me so sad yet excited. I live in the Canadian pacific northwest so were going into our winter. Couple more months to go until our growing season but atleast i can watch this to tie me over till then.
Cheers mark

We compost our shells with our kitchen scraps in buckets of soil. During winter.... i try to collect some kelp from the beach (San Diego) for composting over winter. I use this to plant my tomatoes. But for good measure i drop a whole egg in the hole under the plant. I really got a nice, healthy harvest. So yes... i had EGG-cellent results too. lol

An old Southern U.S. thing, there was even a movie made with the name. Sliced up, breaded and fried, the Green Tomatoes are very good.
