A Wholesome Homestead

A Wholesome Homestead Expose on how to homestead in a wholesome manner with regard to permaculture, ecology, self-sufficiency and ecomony.

Backyard or urban homesteading is possible only if people understand the dynamics between their diet and how it gets to their table. Encouraging average people to at least buy local organically produced food, if not growing their own is the thrust of this page. Encouraging people to modify their lifestyles in order to end health and wealth insecurity; to live simply so that others may simply live.

On March 17, the Sun conjuncts Neptune. Once again, we realize that not just performance counts but that trust and a sense of belonging are also prerequisites for a successful life.

Three days later, on March 20, the Sun enters Aries. It is now the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and night and day are the same length. The Sun's entry into Aries marks the start of the astrological year and signifies a new beginning, which we could celebrate.

At the same time, Mercury is conjunct Chiron and the Moon's Node, and the Sun sextiles Pluto on the 21st. It is evident to all that we need to solve complex problems, but all options seem painful.

Are you wondering if your old seed packets are still good to plant this year?

Before you throw them out, grow them out! If you have old seed on hand, you can do an at-home germination test. Put 10-20 seeds on a moist paper towel in a loosely covered plastic container. Label the container with the date, variety and number of seeds. Start checking the paper towel in 10-14 days and count how many seeds germinated. Divide the number of germinated seeds by the total number of seeds, then multiply by 100 to get your germination percentage.

Bladder Buddy Brew
I consider this safe for any woman of any age dealing with chronic cystitis — even women who are pregnant, lactating, or using chemotherapy or other heavy drugs that suppress the immune system (and make cystitis more likely), so long as the dose is not exceeded.
½ ounce/14g yarrow flowering herb (Achillea millefolium)
½ ounce/14g marshmallow root (Althea officinalis)
½ ounce/14g uva ursi leaves (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi )
½ ounce/14g echinacea root (Ech. angustifolia ONLY)
Soak the dried herbs in two quarts/liters of cold water overnight.
Bring water and herbs to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and steep for four or more hours.
Drink by the sip, about a cup an hour until symptoms abate.
Continue drinking 2–4 cups a day for at least a week.
For prevention, drink 1–2 quarts a week.
