@mountainjewel's Curation for Earth-Centered Content @the-hearth | Week 8
Greetings Earthlings!
I'd like to feature two New (to me) Steemians this week for the beginning of @the-hearth's curation digest.
@RawUtah & @TheGiftofSelf
These two hail from you guessed it Utah! They are creating permaculture gardens and are plant people and vibrant, healthy ones to the core! I find a lot of kinship and inspiration from their posts so please check them out. Here are two rocking posts from them that you can upvote to show your support on:
From @TheGiftofSelf:
Using Aerated Compost Tea in Your Garden To Optimize Your Inner and Outer Ecosystem (Part 1)
From @RawUtah:
Almonds catching the sunrise...over our food forest this morning.
I had a fantastic time this week supporting & connecting with @walkerland. She was curied on this post and it's a real gem, so check it out!
How to Harvest, Dry & Store Rose Hips (for tea, culinary and medicinal uses)
This Week @the-hearth
@S-H-E-P
We love what Shep is doing connecting Steemians who want to share their skills/knowledge and to learn with people on the ground.
@stortebeker shared his #kin-shep post sharing his journeys and plans for travel/engagment this year.
Sounds like an incredible year ahead, David!
Check out his post, SHEP – As Good As Wooffing, Or Maybe Even Better?, to read up on his journey, his skills he can share and how he's looking to connect!
If you're not so familiar with this recent very inspiring addition to the Steemit community, please check out @notconvinced's posts about @shep-heard detailing how to share your post about yourself or your homestead:
Calling All Travelers! Steemit Now Provides a Way For You to Travel Room & Board Free
@shep-heard is a wing of SHEP and are the travelers, volunteers, Workshop participants, those looking for a gathering of like-minded individuals, work traders, prospective Nannies, Teachers, International Students and anyone else wanting to travel, trade a skill, knowledge or light labor in exchange for Room and Board without the need for monetary exchange.
Also, we'd like to draw your attention to the new whitelist only bot run by @ecoTrain!
@eco-Alex has started up a fantastic voting bot offering 65% returns to the Steemians who delegate to it with a positive ROI on bot-users. This bot differs from the prevalent bots basically ruining Steemit as only whitelisted quality content producers will be able to use it. The bot also stops receiving bids if it's full for a round. Check out the post for more details!
It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the @ecoTrain delegation and voting bot that is now up and running! It has several far reaching benefits and I hope you will read this and be inspired to use it for both delegation as well as for voting. What makes this bot very special is that it will lead to fantastic real life eco-build workshops and even communities around the world.
Next up is a fantastic post by @birdsinparadise.
DIY | To the Rescue! | Can you do it? Yes you can!
@birdsinparadise walks us through the entire process of growing wheatgrass for juicing and smoothies. We're so impressed! She also shares health benefits of ingesting wheatgrass. Check out her post!
@sotall has created a great post:
How clean is your city/county water?
This is a great educative piece that begs us to ask the question of how clean our local water is. If you live in the city or on municipal water, please give her insightful post a read!
Is your local authority doing a good job?
That depends on how you look at it. There are two standards that have been set on determining the cleanliness of drinking water.
• A legal limit number
• A goal number
Most authorities that test above the goals remain below the legal limits, but there are occasions when numbers fall above the legal limit. If the numbers go above the legal limit and stay there long enough, the utility can be issued a violation.
Lastly, @ladiesofsteemit shared a fantastic spotlight on many of our homesteading women:
Ladies of Steemit, Volume 11 | A Humble Homestead
If you didn't take a look at it, please do yourself a favor!
If you've been on Steemit any length of time, you know the #homesteading community is strong. Thousands of authors publish daily from their land, sharing recipes, building experience, DIY projects, farm progress, new baby animals joining their flock (okay, that's our favorite!) - and many of those authors are women!
Thank you for reading through these posts! Please go to these posts and upvote them and follow their authors for more great content!
We started this curation project to boost fantastic posts that educate and uplift humanity’s relationship with the earth.
Thanks to everyone who continually produces great quality content! Your efforts matter!
Spread the word about our page to gardeners and non-gardeners alike and, if you feel called, feel free to donate or delegate to support our project. All SP gets powered up to make our vote more powerful to boost your posts!!
Remember, you can tag @the-hearth if you come across an original and high-quality post during the week. Thanks to @ginabot, we will know!
Much love and have a great week!
@the-hearth is @mountainjewel's love offering to Steemit, the earth and our fellow humans. This homesteading duo's life mission is to enliven and raise consciousness around earth-centered living and being stewards of the earth. We really appreciate your support.
Amazing job (as usual 😉) lifting up these top notch individuals. This is a great compilation of so much good information, thank you for putting it together...I'm off to read some posts!
btw "Hello earthings" makes me giggle everytime
thank you dearest earthling :) <3!!!
You have a third eye for great content @the-hearth. These are all knowledgeable and upstanding stewards of our planet.
Thank you so much for supporting@s-h-e-p as well. 😀✌
thank you so much for your kind comment @notconvinced <3 happy to support shep and the other accounts!!
Great roundup. Thanks for sharing this. I never even knew ecotrain bot was whitelist managed. I know I've used it but never applied to any whitelist, so I guess they do it automatically when you submit a bid? Anyway, really great info here and I look forward to being listed for my own permaculture farm homestead once I get it up and running, though that's at least a year or two away. In the meantime I'll be reading, learning, connecting with others doing some version of what I plan to do, and getting ready to be ready. 🙂
i think your account would definitely be accepted on the whitelist and, by the way, have you ever thought of joining us as a passenger? personally i'd love to see you!!! and your posts already fit within @the-hearth's mission ;) but i also can't wait for you to be on your homestead. major awesomeness!! xo
I'm not familiar with "passenger" or how you apply to get whitelisted, but I'm definitely interested. I'm learning a lot from the ecotrain and the-hearth writers.
here's an invite into the discord https://discord.gg/amkd4t4 :))
