3 Gardening Upcycling Hacks for Growing in Small Spaces Ep4 S1
This episode shows 3 great gardening hacks of upcycling ways to repurpose items for growing food in small spaces.
The 3 x examples of growing food using upcycled materials are: vertical grow wall using old pallets; old jars; and a mini greenhouse made from recycled plastic containers.
This is the fourth episode in our growing food in small spaces series ( see Ep1 here https://youtu.be/Nh0ol-eAN2U and Ep2 https://youtu.be/jkWWB9O2wQ8 and Ep3 https://youtu.be/RUpR6nGLFmw )

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 🙂
I would love to do that palette wall with nasturtiums
What kinds of fruits and veggies can I grow in these walls?
I love the army references and when you bust out the ET.
Thank for the awesome tips. Can’t wait to use them
Woah that walk up camera work in the first shot was class
You’re super sexy
So jealous of your climate, in Norway our growingseason is just may to september…
Love the pallet wall! I’m definitely going to try that one!! Thanks for sharing.
These videos from Mark have inspired ideas I’m definitely gonna use.
He’s also like a happier friendlier chonkier Russel Crowe
Are you not entertained? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
Your forearm is jacked
Do you have a video on doing the mulberry cuttings? I have tried a few times unsuccessfully myself
Pallets are on for a year or so but we had one sitting in our yard (used to have bricks on it) didn’t get rained on over section it was fine, the section in the weather it rotted and the nails rusted…. Not good to have rusty nails in the yard… So when you’re pallet dies, get rid of it
Great ideas!
The gabby sausage holly suppose because joke contradictorily twist till a grumpy bottle. spiritual, hanging estimate
Drilling a hole in the bottom of a jar gives better drainage than putting rocks in the bottom. Use a glass and masonry bit, and go slow.
Good drills soldier, took me back to kapooka
Mark how many bags do you think would take to fill 1 pallet ? Great idea just doing the engineering behind it before I try
Ok Mark you got me. Can you give us some anchovy recipes please. And the name of the anchovies let you get in those beautiful jars. Thanks.
I wonder if Australians have any clue how happy "g’day" makes us non-Australians
Outstanding.
G’day Everyone! Hope you are enjoying this series if you have any comments or questions on this episode whack’em down below and I’ll try my best to get to them! Cheers 🙂 P.S If you haven’t seen the first 3 episodes here’s a link to the playlist https://goo.gl/ef3jNt
"weapon fails to fire"
Brought back some memories
LOVE LOVE LOVE the pallet wall!
I would love the growing season you have, the growing season here in Canada is only a couple months.
Amazing absolutely!
How do you keep the pallet from falling over?
Bob Ross has been reincarnated as an Australian gardener.
Love this video mate
Cool
Gold. Pure gold!
Do not use any type of plastic container that had non-food grade material in it
how do you stop the soil dropping down between layers?
Lock and load!
This guy has got legs for hands
I don’t know if you mentioned it or not but only bottles should be used that food come in any type of plastic that had any plastic that had like antifreeze in it bug poison fertilizer anything that is poisonous should not use the bottle they came in some plastic buckets are marked on bottom whether they are food-grade arnott
What part of the Mulberry tree did you take the clippings from? Does it matter?
As I was watching you a little over halfway there was a snake hanging out by the orange container behind you
Love the pallet idea. Think I’m gonna try that. I predict the strawberries are going to spread and take over the top though. Any suggestions for what will grow well together in a pallet in a hot, south-facing area? (Northern hemisphere)
If someone in the northern hemisphere (zone 4) were to plant strawberries this way, the roots would die off in winter, wouldn’t they?
Great ideas ..especially like the pallet garden : }
Od dudova dobra dudovaÄŤa rakija!
Such great ideas. Thank you!
“Cock lock and look in!" God that takes me back!
2 minutes 25 seconds in. Mark, what a legend you are!!
I didn’t really understand how he trapped the soil in the pallets, I like that idea though..
Love the video, but one question. How do you anchor the pallet so it doesn’t fall over from wind?
I may put strawberries in a pallet. I really like that idea.
