Today is the day of the week that I do my weekly HOLLER OUT to other homesteading steemians who have influenced me, offered support or made a post that really spoke to me. Last week you may remember I had a featured homesteader, as well as the four other homesteaders.
The FEATURED HOMESTEADER is just a favorite that I have found this past week. And to add a little twist to it all... Every week the featured homesteader will receive one-100% UPvote from me (they get to pick which post I will Upvote in the next day or two of this posting) AND when this post pays out next week after the seven days, he or she will receive 5sbd in their wallet.
The remaining four honorable mentions of this HOLLER OUT Tuesday will each receive one steem from me. Again, when this post has been live for seven days and pays out next Tuesday. Consider this a Pre-and-Post Holiday gift from me to you.
'Tis the season for giving and sharing! And in the holiday spirit, I am giving.
HOMESTEADERS on steemit!

Permaculture Principle #3 Obtain a Yield
There is the idea in permaculture of Stacking Functions. How many functions can one thing be employed to do. Chickens give eggs. Sure. But protein is only one function. What other functions or yields can they provide. Well, they can scratch and turn or prepare the ground. They can provide insect and weed control. They can also produce chicks, if a rooster is present. Considering how to utilise tertiary functions of something we work with enables our systems to be more flexible and resilient
