DON'T Pay $12 DOLLARS for a Head of Lettuce!

In this video, I show how much money you can save or earn by growing your own lettuce or salad crops at home instead of paying inflated prices at the supermarket!

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 personally think the gardening community on YouTube is one of the best on the web. The comments section is always full of positivity, helpful tips, thoughtful questions, and motivational feedback. Thanks for your support! Cheers, Mark :)

The good thing about this craziness is that I'm growing so many vegetables that I once bought. My family and I love learning and eating what we grow. So rewarding on many levels! 🙂👍🏻

I must congratulate you on the thumbnail on this one, Mark. The puns just add to the enjoyment. I’m sure you have never appreciated your high raised beds as much as now.

just stepped out on my patio this morning and picked about a gallon bag full of leaf/crisp lettuce. it tastes so much better than store brought.

Watching you these past few years has been an absolute joy. Thank you for the education, the sharing of your experiences with food gardening and thank you for making us laugh.
Bless you for protecting us for our freedoms that we enjoy and bless your wife for serving your country too.

The audio is so crisp and clean. It really adds to the video when you can really hear someone properly. 👍

[timkoh]

Your intros never fail to put a smile on my face, Mark. Thank you as always!

[madelinej.]

The signs of a true teacher - motivating, engaging, fun, knowledgeable. Mark, you've got it all!

[Junzar]

That’s why I call my lettuce “nanner-manner-banner” lettuce. It’s great to have food that won’t be subject to recalls or inflation. It tastes better, is super fresh, and doesn’t take up room in the fridge!

[wolfmangosan]

What a punny video 😆😂
I love you brother stay strong keep planting and preparing God bless all you do

[KushFlight]

I love this guy! I really want to hang out with him and learn everything I can from him to be successful in my own garden. He seems like such a cheerful and humble guy and fun to be around. Too bad we probably live way to far apart to ever make that happen. Just want to say that I do enjoy watching your videos everyday and I learn so much from you. Thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing.

What has amazed me with this lettuce-gate thing is that people actually still eat iceberg lettuce! I grew up on it and hated it, it was the only lettuce available. So many beautiful varieties available now, don’t know why people bother with it!

[nineteenninetyfive]

Lettuce is so easy and quick to grow. It's my number one crop every year and long may it Romaine so.

[WayToVibe]

Invested in a second raised bed this year and learned about a whole crop of pests I didn't even know existed in my back yard. Fighting them is actually kind of fun because I love learning by doing, but I'm also getting to succession plant a lot of stuff on accident due to having to replace destroyed crops. Thus, I'm having things come up for harvest at different times, which is making actually eating and preserving it a lot easier since I don't have to deal with it all at once. Yay for learning!

We live in an apartment and now have a vegepod and a quail hutch going. Veggies and eggs for the win!! All you need is 2 square meters and you can grow heaps!

[seermoota]

I discovered you a few months ago and I watch a video every morning. I can't get enough of your wisdom. I was raised with vegetables and you are adding so many wonderful tips to grow them better. I thank you for that. Nobody like you.

[FaustsKanaal]

I live in the netherlands where most produce is grown on a massive scale in greenhouses, and we are a big food exporter, but even here prices are going up rapidly (fuel and fertilizer have gone up a lot especially). So I started a vertical urban garden as well, and learning a lot from your channel.

[emilyemm]

You are certainly my favorite gardening channel. Just a joy to watch, and so informational as well. I also enjoy your style which I think is more realistic than the perfectly manicured gardens!

[jadusiv]

You’re a cool guy. I wish I had such a big garden to mess around with.

[stevesmith]

So many varieties! We grow a mesclun mix. Just spread it around and let it grow how it will. When it's young, reach in and grab a few handfuls! It grows right back and it's fantastic! 😍
