Lotus Garden Newsletter for Homesteaders. 2nd June 2021

https://images.hive.blog/p/X37EMQ9WSwsLaUVnWj5uXRHwjwzR6KfScsHyS24twkWHXTmg7HHYV2ZDbu3ucAdhpBRP1fEBG2nnWwfeNM2cVsmthXs2LvzMfVxfG?format=match&mode=fit

As I write this it's approaching lunch time and my stomach is starting to remind me of that fact. Then I'm being teased with content showing me wholesome and delicious looking home grown and home prepared foods! I hope you enjoy the features today, which all seem to revolve around food in one way or another, whether it's growing, preparing or clearing it out the other end.;o)

Things happening in the community.

There are a few more days left to get an entry in for the healthy eating challenge. This is your chance to share your personal food experiences. Does the traditional food pyramid approach work for you, or does your body need a different approach?

Some highlights of the week

What goes in, must also come out and in the case of food we know what's going to be coming out the other end at a later point! However, toilets don't just appear, so @soulturtle created his own composting toilet for the homestead.

@canadianrenegade is building an air pruning bed for tree and shrub propagation. This is not something I've ever encountered before so I'm not even going to try to explain it. There's always so much to learn.

Over in Thailand, @artemislives visited a new organic farm to table enterprise in Chiang Mai. How amazing do those fresh, growning foods look!

We have a cheesy post from @wwwiebe with a step by step guide to making Farmer's Cheese. This is one of the simplest and most basic cheeses to use up any excess milk.

Each week one of our featured authors will be selected to be a 5% beneficiary of The Lotus Garden newsletter. This week @artemislives will receive this award.

Thank you for stopping by. This week's newsletter was brought to you by @minismallholding.
