The NEXT GENERATION of Raised Garden Beds is HERE

In this video, I show you the exciting next generation in raised garden beds from Birdies!

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 :)

The lady that half hugged you is so right, you and your channel/channels are so much fun, uplifting and a relief from all that’s wrong with our world today. I’ve watched every episode you’ve ever released and see you as a friend ( not in a weird way 😂🤣 ) You’re a diamond Mark, please keep doing what you do and being you. Best wishes to you and your family, from Britain 👍👍🇦🇺🇬🇧

watching your videos helped keep me sane during lock down in Melbourne while I was stuck in my apartment in the city, it also ignited my passion for veggie gardening (that up until then didn't exist!), I was eventually able to move out to my house and now on my second season of planting now and loving it! keep up the amazing content, can't wait for the potato video!

You may not know this but during covid we sent out links to your videos and channel to local friends, acquaintances here in switzerland. It was a huge success. fathers were building their own raised garden bed with their sons, single moms bought one like birdies and taught their daughters to grow even when they were living on an apartment with a balcony. the only person that wasnt that happy ( at least at first) was the delivery drivers though i must say your channel has been mentioned a lot and i know some delivery drivers that got their own raised garden bed. It is truly a joy to work in the garden no matter if you are 3.5 years old. 35 years old or nearly 90.

Much love and blessings from Switzerland

So excited to get these out to gardeners' doorsteps here in the USA! We made a TON of product changes. P.S. If you're in the USA, tomorrow (Friday November 24th) you can get 40% off all of the Legacy models that we're discontinuing as we begin offering the Next Generation of beds! Cheers Mark, and Happy Thanksgiving! - Kevin EDIT: The sale is now over, and for some of the confusion in the comments below - we offered 40% off of the Legacy beds Friday, November 24th all day - which was the only time we ever advertised that offer. We did a "4 Days of Deals" sale structure this year, so to the comments below saying that they were falsely advertised to and it was only 25% off, that is just factually inaccurate. We were at 40% off all Friday November 24th, then the day changed and thus the deal changed per the "4 Days of Deals" structure. - Kevin

Well Mr. 'Mark', I cannot give you a half hug from where I am (US), but for a moment pretend that you are receiving one from me, simply because of you and for standing in the rain. 😊😉

Hi Mark, I am still loving my Birdie beds that you donated to my garden. They are still going strong and giving me food daily!

[leonieshanahan]

Simon at birdies was really supportive all the years I was setting up school gardens and social housing projects Support local family business that have a great products

[Fiscals_Organics]

I will never be upset at you making commission but I will always respect you more and more for being transparent! Make your money, you’re an entrepreneur

Your channel was the main reason I started gardening. It was something I never really cared about growing up, but your message of self-sufficiency really inspired me. I just finished up my third season, with this one being the best yet in terms of yields! I'm still keeping my operations relatively small (mainly for my wife's sanity) but I've learned quite a bit over the last few years by just "getting into it." it is unlikely I'll ever be able to tell you in person since I live in the US, but I think its fitting that on our Thanksgiving holiday, I say thank you Mark for being such an inspiration and valuable resource to all of us! You are a true blessing!

not ganna lie im an 19 yr who parties almost everyday but ive been watching ur vids for the past 2 yr and ive really cotten into planting coz of u and i feel like ive learnt so much

Hello my friend. I just created my first handful of raised garden beds, partially inspired by you.
I used a simple wire mesh formed into a circle and lined with a landscape filter fabric. It was the most simple and low cost method I could think of. I can't wait to get them filled and seeded. :D

[creatinghanley]

Thank you, Mark, for creating this channel. I love your personality and content. Today is Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, so I’m sending you a big gracious thumbs up, cheers!

Sorry for the long message I just drank coffee. In the past week I've been doing a marathon of your videos :) Pretty much watching you all day long. You did (And still do) an amazing job on your channel. Remember the incredible impact you have on the environment because of what yo do. Your channel help people discover the world of permaculture like it did to me few years ago, and some of them, like me, might decide to start a food forest on their property because you inspired them. In other word, you are planting a seed in the head of people, and a food forest might grow from that.

Let's not under estimate the power of inspiring other people to start a permaculture. We can't force them, but we can inspire them by creating very beautiful permacultures, so much that when they drive by and see it they will be like ''Hmm I might plant a tree or two this week end''. My goal in life is to inspire just ONE person to start a permaculture on his property. This way its a domino effect, and we can slowly repair this world because let's not forget the enormous impact a permaculture has on the environment.

Food grown on a permaculture is free of pesticide and grown organically, truly boosting the surrounding eco-system in the process. The food is not wrapped in 10 layers of non-recyclable plastic, it is not shipped from another continent by boat and then delivered by diesel trucks to my plate. Plus all the employees that would have worked to get this food to me, can do other things instead. The food forest make you work physically, and make you eat healthy, which would help fix the jammed hospital problems worldwide, as well as mental health problems, like it did to me. I can go on for a while but this message is already way too long.

So ... The fact that you inspire so many people to follow this road is truly remarkable, thank you Mark and everyone in here for making a difference, we are the green army. At the end of the day, who knows how much of an impact we have on the environment.

You are the reason I got back into gardening. Your excitement is contagious! Be blessed!

[karenyhogan]

First ones I had seen were on your YouTube videos. Then you talked about Keven in San Diego, California. I watched both of you and your gardening in Birdies Raised Garden Beds. I needed some to relieve my heart of the pressure of bending over. I had this year use of my 4 beds in the greenhouse. I bought 3 more and looking at another couple smaller 30" tall in you outside garden area. I would have bought through you but needed them sooner and Keven had a special. Thank you

Yours and Eric’s channel have to be my favourite gardening channels to watch

[minecraftsalad]

That story at the end was so nice! Gardening has changed so many of our lives

i just bought two raised beds from Vego garden. Was gonna buy birdies from epic gardening store but they sold out of what i wanted and after being disappointed i found vego and they were 2 inches higher than the birdies (17"). plus they included 2 worm composters 2 mugs 2 solar garden lights and a hori hori free with purchase. Still plan on buying a birdies to compare quality and support Eric.

Used to garden in the ground. Then I became disabled. Gently started gardening again in grow bags. Then found this channel and another where sweet potatoes were being grown in a circular raised bed. Have added many fire rings on my concrete driveway and have been growing in them awhile now. Contemplating all raised beds in the future but alas there is only me to assemble and fill them so I add one or two a year.

[pamelaroden]

I am so happy with my beds, and I wouldn't have found them if I hadn't run across your amazing garden videos. Thank you.
