5 Reasons to GROW Your Own Food NOW! Prepping via Gardening

This video outlines my five most important reasons why I believe you should grow your own food and are my main motivating factors for being as self-sufficient as possible on our small acreage homestead. Homesteading, food gardening, and to some extent prepping is something we should all be considering. Thanks for watching! 🙂

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 🙂

  1. Food that has been irradiated is not radioactive.

    You need radioactive materials to make something radioactive. Or a supercollider will work too. But there aren't many of those around.

    Radiation is a big scare word that people don't understand, radioactive materials are what should concern people, not radiation that has been and gone.

    Ignorance of physics is not a good enough excuse for fearmongering, especially when the science has been well understood for nearly a century now.

  2. Hi Mark, A lot of folks think its too hard to raise a garden. Well let me tell you a hard fact of life. You get a lot out of gardening. So let's get into it. It has allowed our bank acount to get out of the red and beginning grow a little (Not rich but better than being broke all the time), gardening has added a much more vitamin rich diet than ever before, I have Multiple Sclerosis, I'm 72 and still walking which I contribute to my garden. Just a walk about through the garden every day keeps my legs moving as they should. Also our grocery bill dropped from $4500 a year down to about $500 a year. Our neighbors and friends bennifit from our garden as well. We give over a ton of vegetables away each summer. Example: The first garden we made we had a friend and his wife fostering six grandkids. They were having a food deleima (problem) we took them 4 5-gallon buckets of food each week. They were so grateful to get the food you could almost hear the tears in their voice. This is what raising a garden has done for us. Jessie Arkansas USA
