Things happening in the community.


@naturalmedicine, in conduction with their Spanish sister community, @holos-lotus, is running an earth healing challenge. It is running for 12 days, so there is still plenty of time to get an entry in.

Some highlights of the week




For those of us who garden as naturally as possible, we try to create an ecosystem which is balanced enough to not need pest control. However, sometimes even the best balanced ecosystems can get an imbalance of something, but you still don't want to be spraying toxic chemicals on your food crops. In his video @sustainablyyours gives us a poison free option for getting rid of squash bugs and takes us through some of the early warning signs that you may have them in your garden.

Apparently @generikat's infused herbal oil salve brings relief for cracked skin and psoriasis and she's sharing how she makes it with her lucky readers. Her philosophy is to keep it simple, which certainly suits me.

Fudge! That sickly, sugar laden treat which is as unhealthy as it comes, right? Well I'm gobsmacked, because @buckaroobaby has fudged this traditional recipe into a healthy version which apparently mimics the traditional one in taste!
