Helpie’s Homesteading Curation Report
Sixteenth Edition
Welcome to the weekly Helpie Homesteading Curation Report, where we feature some amazing content creators coming out of the Homesteading Community. Our goal is to find those individuals that are producing high quality content and raise them up to help them grow.
We do this by featuring them here to introduce them to all of you lovely people. We hope this helps to get them a larger audience, therefore getting them the recognition we think their wonderful content deserves.
Then, because we think it is important to give credit where credit is due, we split this reports payout between the featured authors. We believe this is the only fair way to curate these individuals content that they have worked so hard on. We hope that if you choose to use these blogs in a post of your own, that you will join us in paying them for their content as well.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our favorites here each Monday.
First Things First: What is Helpie?
Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including;
- Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge
- Daily Steemit related trivia and contests
- Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories
- A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community
- Daily upvote from Helpie for members
- Weekly Curation of great quality content. We have a Fine Arts Curation Report in addition to this Homesteading Curation, and hope to add more categories in the future.
Helpie is an invite only community, but anyone can participate in the daily trivia questions. You are not required to upvote Helpie’s posts to participate. This initiative is not meant to be a vote for vote operation; it’s an educational tool only. If you would like to be considered to join @Helpie as a minnow in training, please consider joining PALnet/MSP and participating in the community. We have scouts constantly looking for the right minnows to support, and they will reach out with a private invitation.
All featured authors will split the SPD reward of this post, because we believe it’s important to pay authors for their content they worked so hard on. Please make sure you check out their blogs as well!
This Week's Featured Steemians
Botany BASICS for Gardeners AND Nomads By @Ofsedgeandsalt
Kelly is fairly new on the platform and currently lives as a nomad, foraging a long the way of her travels...but, she use to be a farmer and considers herself an amateur Botanist. In today’s post she shares a beautiful and in-depth look into the different plant families and their properties. It’s a wonderful read and complimented with lovely photos as well as being so full of great information.
I used to teach classes on this so, its kind of my thing. I love to share about seeing plants this way- it helps when you're planning out a garden or looking over someone's plantings and accessing what is going on. It's also cool on the road cause you see these families everywhere, like wild lettuce, Datura in the desert, or wild brassicas on the california coast. Its helps me to orient. Being a farmer doesn't mean you can't relate to the world outside of that. It gives you tools to SEE.
The information covered is vital for any homesteader and I believe @ofsurgeandsalt is definitely someone to watch on the platform.
BLOOMING ALOES ARE A BUFFET FOR THE BUSY BEE - THE CONTESTS OF PETALS #FLOWERS By @Buckaroo
@Buckaroo has a wonderful blog full of adventures on her South African Cape Homestead. She says she’s a “Homesteading mama. Passionate about goats and natural healing. Artist and Writer. On the narrow road seeking Truth.” I always find her stories and photos really enjoyable and todays post is no different. She has captured some stunning shots of some beautiful pollinator friends around her homestead and I couldn’t help but share them.
Blooming flowers must be natures buffet to the little worker bee. I find it mesmerizing to sit and watch the flight patterns and enthusiastic gathering of pollen by bees.
Bees are so fascinating and I know getting shots like these are not easy to capture!
Greenhouse Update By @Costopher
Cos calls himself a beer drinking gardener, which immediately makes me smile. He has a stunning greenhouse where he is utilizing hydroponic techniques. In today’s post he takes us on a tour to show us how all the vegetables are coming along. I am constantly amazed and intrigued by hydroponics as well as aquaponics and am so thrilled to see so many homesteaders using these techniques and sharing them on the platform.
This concludes the sixteenth edition of Helpie’s Weekly Homesteading Curation Report. We need your help in lifting these wonderful Steemians, so please go and read the featured Steamians blogs and show them the love that their hard work deserves. We believe it is important for us to lift up good content on Steemit to help further grow the platform as a whole.
We are constantly searching for good content that deserves to be in the spotlight. If you come across a Homesteading post that you believe is worthy of promotion in this weekly report, feel free to tag @llfarms in the comments or send a DM message over discord.*
Thank you so much for reading and Happy Homesteading,
