Urban homesteader and educator with 20+ years helping thousands grow food and live more self-sufficiently
2.5 million subscribers and one of the biggest YouTube gardening channels in the world are achievements I'm proud of; however, when we first purchased our small acreage just outside of Brisbane in 2006, the only things I dreamed of were having a thriving garden and providing fresh, healthy food for my family. But when I first started, I was overwhelmed by conflicting advice, failed crops, and the feeling that self-sufficiency was out of reach. I spent years experimenting with different methods, learning from mistakes, and slowly building up my knowledge of what really works in a home garden, no matter the space or experience level.
Over time, I realised that growing your own food isn’t just about saving money or eating better; it’s about gaining confidence, independence, and a deeper connection to nature and the world around you. I began sharing my journey online, and was amazed by how many people wanted to learn practical, step-by-step ways to become more self-sufficient.
That’s why I created this app: to give you the clear, actionable guidance I wish I’d had when I started. Everything I know, everything I've written or made content about regarding self-sufficiency, has been carefully entered into this app, and I will continue to keep adding knowledge and improving it.
Every lesson, tip, and tool in the app is based on real-world experience, tested in my own backyard and refined through years of teaching others. Whether you’re starting with a single pot on a balcony, planning a full backyard garden, or sighting a whole-acreage homestead, I want to help you succeed.
My aim is to make this app empower you to take control of your food, your health, and your future, one small fist of organic compost and cherry tomatoes at a time. Let's get into it! :)
