2. ???? How I Made This Rustic hanger
by @urirexroth
On a homestead you can never have enough coat racks and places to hang other outdoor clothing. @urirexroth really shows us how to take an old pine shelf and create a perfect rustic-looking coat rack that any homestead would proudly have on display. This is a great way to re-use old items that may otherwise be useless.

They're not all brown like you would think.

@nikflossus has been so busy on his homestead transplanting cherry and plum trees; making his lifestyle even more self-sustainable. He's even been using old cupboards to make some raised beds for more gardening. Talk about being creative and re-purposing old items. And do you know what “Hugelkultur” is? According to @nikflossus it's all about mounding up earth with wood to create nutrients for the trees and plants.

About our Curator @goldendawne

You can find me (@goldendawne) on many platforms where I always write about my homesteading and gardening adventures. I've always wanted to live on about 10 acres of land with a huge garden, small livestock and continue expanding and honing in on my homesteading skills.
Having this passion and desire to becoming more self-sufficient and self-reliant in my life has crossed over to the blogging platforms and how I curate for homesteaders and their posts. I love learning new skills and when I see a quality post with a unique twist of life on the homestead I just have to read what is happening. So if you are a homesteader and write great posts you may be who I am looking for.
