Helpie’s Homesteading Curation Report

Thirteenth 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.
  
  

This Week's Featured Steemians

How to use thermal mass to harness the incredible power of the SUN and to grow food year round! By @nickhans

Nick has put out an amazing post on how we can easily use the suns energy to keep our veggies happy all year. He does a wonderful job of explaining the process and the benefits of using such a system.

During the day, the hot sun heats up the water in these tanks (they weren't covered in starts in the winter, so they got more direct sunlight). If they were painted black, they would do an even better job at this. Then at night, they slowly release the heat, keeping the greenhouse warm and increasing the humidity level... Which is a good thing here in the desert.

It’s a brilliant read and his blog is full of other great ideas as well.

First Round Of Canning Of The Season – Asparagus By @knowledge-seeker

@knowledge-seeker has already started his spring canning, I’m so jealous! He takes through the steps he takes the can the asparagus from his garden. Canning is such a essential skill for the homestead and lets us enjoy that harvest through the year. @knowledge-seeker also runs the Homestead Photography Contest, which is a really great competition that gives us a look into the day to day activities on each individuals homestead through beautiful themed photography. He has a wonderful blog and add a lot to the community.

Which came first: the Chicken or the Egg? A Visit to the Chicken Breeder with @mountainjewel By @Birdsinparadise

@Birdsinparadise takes us on an adventure with her daughter to the local chicken breeder where we get a tour of the operation. This post is full of fun photos of the event as well as a beautifully written story. Her blog is full of delicious recipes complimented with photos that will make you drool. I also really enjoy that her recipes often use ingredients that would normally be thrown away, like crepes from the pulp leftover from juicing... she kind of amazing. I always really enjoy @birdsinparadise’s blog and love when she teams up with her daughter to make things extra special.

This concludes the thirteenth 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,
