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 :) - Навчання та стиль
I don't have any garden to grow, I just watch your videos because I love the joy and passion you put in your work. Bye bye from Italy
Maybe start with 1 potted tree :)
You can start with container growing
this guy is the freakin' Steve Irwin of gardening! love it.
True!
@@youtubeaccount5201 not funny
Best part is , both Guys are from the same area / sunny Queensland is the place to be 😊😊
@@andresibarra9914 why?
Lmbo that was exactly my first thought!.
Best pruning tips I've heard
This guy is good. And I actually understand him. Have a good day.
I just love watching your garden ...its so beautiful
Seriously enjoying your content. Just the sheer enthusiasm makes it worth while. Easy to follow instructions, sensible notions.
Just a big thanks
Excellent tips! I would have added don’t put diseased branches in the wood chipper as you will spread the disease throughout your orchard and either burn or completely remove diseased branches from your property. It is surprising how hardy trees can be to pruning! But take care not to spread disease. Keep some alcohol wipes in your pockets to wipe down between trees at the least. If you are pruning limbs that you know, or suspect are infected, wipe down between cuts so that you don’t spread the infection throughout the tree.
If you know how to compost the mulch, the "diseases" will be killed and overtaken by the beneficial microbes in the good mulch
I will always come back to your videos to learn because you get to the point and are so helpful!! Love your channel
The lemons looked beautiful
Brigitte LM yeah they did
Great information, detailed explanations and LOVE the before and after picture. Thank you so much!!
I enjoy watching this guy's videos. very good , well done
Fantastic video! Glad to see another subtropical Australian backyard grower, your info could never be more relevant for me, many thanks!
Thanks Joe, cheers mate :)
Greetings from rural northern California! I have been an arborist since the 1980s. Your video was a bit different, and I can see that it works for you. The one thing I would submit concerns making proper cuts when pruning. I needn't say a lot... just don't leave stubs. They die, dry and crack and let in pathogens that will allow disease. People can use the pruning books to see how to make the 3 step pruning cut, and what the desired result will look like, so the tree can seal over a pruning wound.
For discussion, let's talk about pruning for more fruit. To do a regulation pruning on a fruit tree you will get a thinned out tree. It will grow less fruit because it is smaller. However you will get a better quality fruit because the growth and development energy has less tree to support. So each remaining item gets more attention from the tree's system. For apples, for example, it takes about 35 leaves to support each fruit.
Thamks for a good video. It was easy to watch.
Michael Dougfir
Thanks for the ‘35 leaves to support a fruit’ tip. That’s one of those things that will stick in my mind and help keep things in perspective
I also wanted to ask what you mean by ‘stubs’. Are you saying to cut as close to the supporting branch as possible? And is there a situation where you’d use a product to put on a fresh cut? Or just let it heal naturally?
Does it matter which branches are pruned? I have an apple tree that had a ton of tiny branches coming out of larger main branches, and there are alot if medium sized branches too. Should I just go for all the small ones and a few medium ones? No idea what kind of apple it is. Previous owner didn't know either.
Interesting thanks
@@swaggattarius4355 Always let it heal naturally. Do you want to cut close to the tree but you absolutely do not want to cut into the branch column. Look it up on Google and you’ll see what it is, usually it is fairly easy to determine its location all the way around the branch you’re trimming off. When you trim a branch off it stops growing from the stub and begins growing from the branch color, which is trying to grow over the end that you just cut so as to seal the tree off from pathogens. The smaller of the distance between the branch color and your cut, the faster the tree can seal its wound.
@@nickuva6508 Leave the bigger, more mature branches if possible. Ideally you want to trim dead, diseased, and crossing branches first, then look for branches that are pointing straight up or inwards and trim those.

Fantastic video!! Just the information I was looking for!
Thanks Mark, great vid. Heading out to the orchard right now to do some overdue pruning. 😃
Thank you! Pruning has always scared me. It's a topic my husband and I disagree over often. Now, I can help him instead of hindering him. :D
BTW, I couldn't help but immediately think of the Crocodile Hunter when I first saw you - talking with your hands and with the same passion he had for animals--in the first few seconds of the video. A new subscriber here!
Nutrition Prepper's Sister thats nice ... 😊 and you are correct

Hey, thanks for the tips. I just came back from a garden meeting here in Margaret river and I have learned that pruning in summer, right after fruiting, is very good too. I did not exactly hear why though. Next time I will ask the person when I see him again
Amazing videos. I've learned so much.
Awesome tips Mark
EXCELLENT Video Mark!!!

Great video Mark!
Hey Mark! Husband and I appreciated the video - we bought a property with fruit trees on it last year and they need lots of love so this is good timing! We had a follow up question, though: how do you harvest a lot of fruit? We are up to the task of caring for a small orchard, but we would love some tips or ideas for how to best tackle harvesting! Thanks in advance, we have learned so much from your videos :) Much love from Seattle, Wa USA!!
Great video! Loved the information! 😊
Your trees look beautiful Mark. When transplanting young peach trees, i leave the suckers the first year in case of transplant shock, one of my best trees died down to a single stalk after I moved it 5 years ago. I didn’t have the heart to cut the small sucker that had started beside it. Today the sucker produces well, just to be different I suppose. I started the mother tree from a seed when I was a boy. so I’m a bit sentimental about the peach trees.
Great video yet again!! Thank you, keep them coming ;)
Thanks David will do mate! :)
Great video. A lot of usefull information. I loved it
Im sooo glad i watched this video 1st ... Thank you
Very knowledge dear 💕
The Steve Irwin of gardening😂 love watching and very knowledgeable 🦘🐨
Excellent common sense tips, thank you! And, congrats on reaching 80k subs. Very well-deserved. Here's to your continued growth, in the garden and on YT! ~ Lisa
Hi Lisa, and thank you! Yes reaching 80k subscribers is amazing and very encouraging! :)
You have a good voice to listen to and a good pronounciation. Can you please also make videos about how pruning berry bushes like ribes?
nicely done !
very inovative
Thanks sir
Good tips mate.
great video
Great video !👍
Thank you :)
Thanks mate
I just ordered a persimmon! It's coming at the end of March. I live in a very different climate so it's probably the only overlap fruit tree we have haha. It has a very large zone range!
good tips mark nice one
Thanks Jennifer! :)
Great stuff!
Thanks Karen :)
The tips are spot on - great video, mulching seems to improve fruit tree resistance to fruit fly as well...
Is that right! I didn't realise that it can help against fruit fly but I'm glad it possibly can. Thank you :)
marilyn gandhi i use a natural compost/ mulch type blend of grass and straw, no fertilizers, just a bit of soil amending 😊
Hope to see some cooking videos soon. Love the videos Mark
Awesomeness!
Nice
Thanks for the tips!!!
Thanks Leo :)
You welcome did u get my facebook message?
Thank You
Thanks Edith :)
Good tips Mark.
Thanks Pete :)
I like the mulch part , is the best .
too much mulch on the trunk will cause problems.
I've watched a few homesteading and self sufficiency UA-cam's but most of them are either boring or the presenter is annoying. You on the other hand are interesting and practical. I'll definitely follow your videos from now on :)
You are doing a great job.
Mark, wonderful, full explaination. Very helpful. As it's winter here in the US, perfect timing for me to tackle my plum tree. Thanks and cheers.
Julie Mix Good Morn Miss Julie, from where do you hail? I'm in Nor Cal..Paradise
Hi Julie, I've heard plum trees are an exception to prune in winter as rot can set in. I would leave to spring as weather is warming. Please research this on internet further. Regards Alan
I think you should not prune your plum tree in the winter but wait until the sap is rising to avoid silver leaf .
+Alan Shrimpton Well, thank you so much for the advise. I will look it up. It's a very old tree, but still producing, and I want to give it all the help I can.
+Jennifer Prescott Hi, down there. I'm up in Washington on the penninsula. Cheers
good tip's
Thanks Jeanne :)
Useful tips for when I grow some fruit trees.
Best of luck for when you start growing yours mate! :)
I hope to start this year, if possible.
ooo you have a pumello tree. I am addicted to pumellos!!!
