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!

Garden

The following is a playlist of all our gardening videos.

Gardening is by far the most popular videos I make on YouTube and interest seems to be growing as more people discover the beauty of this video platform.

Chickens

The following is a playlist of all our chicken videos.

We’ve been keeping chickens for a decade now (as at 2016). We mainly use our hens for egg production, fertiliser generation, food scrap management, and fun. 

Quails

The following is a playlist of all our quail videos.

We keep quail for the meat primarily but we do sometimes eat the eggs.

Quail is an easy poultry species to raise and is a great starter bird for people wondering if poultry keeping is for them.

Ducks

The following is a playlist of all our duck videos.

We started with Khaki Campbell ducks first given to us by a friend who couldn’t keep them anymore and then discovered Pekins, which are great layers and good to eat as a meat bird.

Food and Recipes

The following is a playlist of our recipe videos.

These recipe and preserving videos are not the most popular videos to upload, however, I personally do like making them and sharing some of my kitchen adventures.
