Self Sufficient Me

@selfsufficientme

I have written a book! https://www.briobooks.store/products/100-top-crops-you-can-grow Hi, learn organic gardening, realistic self-sufficient living, keeping quail, chickens, and lots more! My channel is about self-sufficiency and based on my blog (established several years earlier) called "Self Sufficient Me" this doesn't mean I believe I am totally self-sufficient (nor do I want to be) but more that I want to "strive" to be as self-sufficient as I can with the current resources I have on offer. Thank you for subscribing! Look, and see the Earth through her eyes... metaphorically means trying to work WITH nature rather than forcing it artificially.
