Homesteaders - Living Naturally, Newsletter. 17th April 2019
It's already over halfway through April! Doesn't time fly? Homesteaders and gardeners are busy the world over as they are well into preparations for the new season. It's been lovely to read about what everone's up to.
Things happening in the community.
A couple of weeks ago @eco-alex announced that the @ecotrain would be getting back on the tracks. After a busy couple of weeks, the new passenger list has been announced and everything is back in motion to support those ecological posts on Steem. For more details on how this will work read his post here.
Over at @naturalmedicine you can read the week's picks in the curation post. Also, the winners for the plant medicine challenge have been announced and there is a chance to get an entry into the Archive Amnesty.
Welcoming Newcomers
@wowcrypto joined Steem in January last year, but has made a recent return and shared some pictures of a little container garden growing on their balcony. I'm hoping we can give a good welcome to encourage them to stick around this time.
Some highlights of the week
@eco-alex has been transcribing and editing a biotecture lecture by Michael Reynolds. This is part four, but you can find the links to the first 3 parts towards the end of the post. It's a must-read for anyone interested in eco-building.
@smithlabs shares with us how to make a tincture from what turns out to be a very useful weed. Find out how useful shepherd's purse can be here.
@mountainjewel has written about how trees heal our land and potentially our climate.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but often we're rushing out and don't get the best of breakfasts, if any at all. @celestialcow gives her solution with this immune boosting, soaked oats recipe
Thank you for stopping by. This week's newsletter was brought to you by @minismallholding.

Oh looking good everyone! That breakfast thing I must check out (hopefully wifey will like it too). Interesting about @Eco-alex transcribing... what an enormous amount of work, wow!
Thanks for the news letter 😁
It looks so good, doesn't it! I wonder if it would work soaked in juice too.
