Build Your Own Farm Tools: Equipment & Systems for the Small-Scale Farm & Market Garden

Josh Volk, writer of the best-selling Compact Farms, gives small-scale farmers an in-depth information to constructing custom-made tools that may save money and time and introduce much-needed efficiencies to their operations.
Volk begins with the fundamentals, equivalent to organising a workshop and understanding design ideas, mechanical ideas, and supplies properties, then presents plans for making 15 instruments suited to small-farm duties and processes. Every venture contains an evidence of the software’s function and use, in addition to the time dedication, ability degree, and tools required to construct it. Tasks vary from the super-simple (requiring a half-day to construct) to the extra complicated, and embrace how-to images and illustrations with variations for customizing the completed implement. Together with directions for constructing objects equivalent to easy seedling benches, a mini barrel washer, a DIY germination chamber, and a rolling pack desk, Volk addresses methods design for farm effectivity, together with the best way to design an efficient drip irrigation system and the best way to arrange spreadsheets for gathering necessary planning, planting, and market information.
