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'm the former owner of a cooking school in Thailand. After moving to western Mexico I was lucky enough to be given a galangal plant by a Thai restaurant owner. I repotted it into a large pot in which it grew to about a meter high, before I was able to convince my landlady to let me plant in the backyard behind our apartment building. However the only spot she would allow me to put is in full shade. It's been there for about 6 weeks and has spread out a bit, but any upward growth is barely noticeable. I believe it will survive but I don't expect it to thrive without sun, nor do I expect the rhizomes to ever get as plump as the ones in this delightful video. I'm grateful for what I have though, galangal is unknown here and not to be found for sale anywhere.
Galangal is an everyday spice in Cambodian cooking. It's used for fermenting vegetable and Cambodian sausage. It's also used in soup and marinating meats.
You’re my favorite person on UA-cam!
The Bonanza theme song is going to be stuck in my head now, thanks Mark. 😂
Ear worm time for sure!
I've been trying to get it for over 2 years in south africa. A week ago my hubby found two plants at a nursery and boy I cried like a baby. 🤣🤣🤣I am so protective of this plant 🤗🤗🤗
If you are in KZN I can send you a rhizome or two. :)
Your video is very informative. Thank you. I’m Vietnamese and my mom cooks galangal very often. I remember seeing the galangal growing around my grandparents ‘s house. I like to grow them here in US, but don’t know how to grow them well until I saw your video. Thanks again; now I know what to do
My grandpa's favorite show😃
And yea, yer weird, but in a good way...more like unique! Entertaining AND informational.
This was super helpful. I have three clumps of rhizomes I ordered and am going to start growing my crop now using your directions! Greetings from Florida.
I've been growing galangal for years as I thought it was ginger when I first planted it. Never knew what to use it for and recently tried adding into my lemon grass tea as an alternative to ginger. I like it. Gonna try adding it to my Taro soup after watching your vid Mark. Vid was very entertaining nice work
Galangal and lemon grass are main material for our Thai famous "Tomyum", you can try this receipt by search on google.
If you like Thai cooking is a distinct non-substitutable ingredient. Such a unique, fresh flavour!
You're definitely the best kind of weird and I love it.
Mark quite possibly the best intro.........EVER!!!!! Love your spunk and quirkiness my friend keep it up
You’re such a dad haha I love your dad jokes 😂 And your energy! It makes me wish my dad had loved gardening too. I could’ve shared your channel with him... oh well! I always watch your videos before going to bed it calms me down before going to sleep and I dream of gardening after hehehe!
My husband and I have learned so much from your videos. We love them! Thank you so much for taking the time to post these amazing, educational vids.
Because of you, I grew galangal, which is doing well by the way. And since we love all kinds of SE Asian cuisine, we love that is readily available.
I watched 3 other videos on galangal before watching yours which was by far the best and answered most of my questions. Your passion is packed with information. Thanks.
I've never heard of galangal before until one hour ago. It's one ingredient in a Thai dish that I'm going to order tomorrow at the local Thai restaurant after reviewing their menu. I'm also going to try growing it next Spring, yippee!
Your video is very informative and funny! I just subscribed to your channel so I'll watch more of your cool videos. Oh, I love it that you grow organically and like frogs and snakes :)
You're the nicest weird person I know, and I should know, cos I'm a weirdo magnet!! lol
omg! lol at the end you should have shoved the Galangal into a holster LMAO. awesome. plants look fantastic
You are so appreciated here in the SE US, I feel like old 9A-humid and hot here- doesn’t have a lot of great content geared towards what works well here but I grow turmeric, katuk, etc here well because of the climate. Thanks for all the great subtropical content!
Riding off into the sunset on his mower 😆
You got a good sense of humour. Enjoy your educational knowledge. Keep it up👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You got a thumbs up JUST FOR THE INTRO SONG! Love it! You are adorable :)
Great.... now I have the Bonanza theme stuck in my head :D
LOve the intro man. haha what a comic. Good informational stuff too
Lol, I just snarfed my tea! I didn't think of that song when I heard the word galangal..... NOW I do! Lol, I'm going to look pretty silly the next time I got to the Asian market
It's impossible not to adore this man!
I'm an American, have never heard of galangal. But I'm looking forward to giving it a go next season. Thank you!

galangal is expensive in Usa about $10 for a pound (1/2 kg) very cheap in Asia.i used it for Indonesian and Thai cooking.
I LOVE your large clump in the background! I am now inspired for mine! Thank you!
I've never heard of Galangal before but will definitely try to grow it.

Interesting video. Now I need to grow this. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have never heard of this.. looks intriguing
Very helpful and amusing. Thanks
Job well done my friend you’ve done a fabulous tutorial here which is entertaining & I can watch with the family, full of beneficial knowledge right to the very last detail, thank you so much please keep up the good work! You’re our Australian star, when I first discovered you I thought you were going to only garden common stuff but you are growing things which is very exciting such as your galangal, avocado, mango, banana & your style from trial & error + great things which I probably have missed. Looking forward to more.
Someone gave me 2 of this and your video is very helpful. Looking forward to planting them

Thanks for sharing it so beautiful I will plan some
Fantastic video thanks!
Love the video bud. Yes.
Wow you had plenty. This is a good herb. Thank you for sharing ❤
that must be one of the top 5 intros- and another great vid :-) thumbs up, share-wait for the next ;-) I want to add galangal to my zingiberales banana circle (turmeric and ginger and bananas so far)
You have a vid for everything!!!!! I love it!!!!
Good show! I love this in Thai soup
Hello from Canada. Mark you gotta e the cutest , goofiest, most well informed and great video content. Very well informed. thks for bringing the videos. appreciate it
Thank you. I've never heard of this before
I'm growing ginger, tumeric and galangal along the northern side of a row of bananas. Seems to be going well so far even after all that rain.
Thanks for this one Mark I have some galangal growing in a huge pot but it's not doing as well as yours so I might try moving it.
Nice video.
You might want to invest in a pinch point bar to dig up massive roots. Super easy to pry without slicing the roots.
Also I noticed you shred paper for the composter. Excellent worm bedding material. Would you consider red wiggler worm composting? Probably the fastest way to recycle nutrients of fruit and veggies I've ever seen
Wow. I have never seen this plant before now.
OMG that intro was hilarious!
Hahah, when the hose got caught my wife had tears in her eyes 😂
the flames really got me fired up to grow galangal
You think of the Bonanza theme when you think of Galangal? Every time you say G'Day I expect you to say "Wheres the Cheese"
Awesome thanks
truly nice info indeed. rgs
Loved the Bonanza intro. No, you are not weird.
Thank you very much.
I like ypur take on gardening I believe I live in a similar type of environment as you. I hope my galangal comes out nice
Thank you for sharing .. your introduction is FUN .. a bit of history about the plants and all the way to our YUMMY food . Most impress on your tips number 4 and 5 .. I don't use any pesticide with the domestic pests (cockroaches ..etc) I starve them by keeping the food cover nothing left on the sauce bottles ..etc and if I see them I would sweep them out of the door .. if any of my plants showing signs of being attacked by the bugs - I cut the sick bit off let them sun dry or freeze them so I can use the good part at a a later days.
9/10 for this video ..
Galangal is the most important ingredient for cooking Thai Tom Yam Kung soup, Thai Curry, Thai Satay...... 👍
Thank you, Sir... Hopefully I can grow Galangal in the near future. GBU always and a;ways. Amen.
Found it thanks.
Thanks, really informative. Funny guy.
Not weird just showing your age. Mark great things you do very inspiring
I was already singing galangal when I saw "galangal" in the title before watching xD
Awesome.
You are adorable and super funny. Love your videos.
I reckon you're right growing it in full sun. I've had galangal "growing" for about 12-18 months in a mostly shady sheltered position and it's no bigger than when I planted it.
It’s a great plant. At present, it’s attracting all the grasshoppers in my garden.
Goofing a round with your galangal. !!! 😅😅😅😍😍😍 Fun in the gsrden.🎉🎉🎉
yack f zay haha I love it, I can imagine my self with the family in the garden.
