A More Sustainable Adventure

Making & Using RICH Chicken Compost to Plant Garlic + MORE!

By letter2self on August 9, 2023



In this video, I show you how our chickens made the best compost fertiliser then we use it in the garden to plant garlic and top up other raised garden beds such as raspberries and mint.

Go here to get Birdies Raised Garden bed in the USA: https://shop.epicgardening.com/ and use SSME2020 for a 5% discount.

In Australia, go to https://birdiesgardenproducts.com.au/ and use Code SSMEbird for a 5% discount. In New Zealand, go to https://birdiesgardenproducts.co.nz/ and use Code ssmebird22 for 5% off your first purchase.

Plastic Forests: This is the company that makes the plastic sheeting in rolls used to make our chicken compost ring https://plasticforests.com.au/ I believe the key to solving our plastic problem is to make recycling all types of plastic easy for everyone and attractive for businesses. Plastic Forests have pioneered eco-friendly ways to recycle soft plastics once thought to be impossible to do – that is the kind of technology and small business ingenuity I love to see!

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 🙂
