COMPACT WALK-BEHIND

Homemade cultivator it is desirable to make universal, so it can perform various agricultural operations. However, to create a design that is optimal for any work at the farm, is not easy. So, powerful, heavy duty motor-plow, as a rule, is too broad and clumsy in the aisles, and brisk the tiller can’t beat plowing the dense earth. One solution to this problem is offering our reader from Krasnodar territory Vladimir Yakovlev. Its compact one-wheeled machine will help in the treatment of garden beds, will not damage plants close together and, if necessary, in just 10 minutes will turn into two-wheeled motor-plow.

SILENT ROAR

SILENT RUMBLEIn the construction of cottages, garages in the farm economy often have to sift through loose building materials, soil or garden soil. It uses a special device — the so-called roar. His classic version of the frame with the grille installed on the box is a very cumbersome and inefficient.

WATERING MACHINEThe garden in the garden requires constant attention and care. But if the issues of timely tillage, planting and fertilizer application depend primarily on the diligence of owners, the need to maintain optimal soil moisture is dictated mainly by natural factors. The arid climate of some regions of our country requires an additional daily irrigation of family land. This condition becomes crucial for obtaining good yields.

A HOME FOR BEES

On the slider rest seven light plywood cassettes with cellular framework. For inspection and replacement of frames of the cassette may be made removable metal table.

ACROSS THE FIELD SWEEPING PLOUGH

THE FIELD IS SWEEPING THE PLOWWe offer our readers the plow rather unusual. It is not necessary to pull forward, neither a horse nor a tractor, and the now familiar motor-plow is selhozgodu clearly does not. It has no motor, however moves together with the farmer down the furrow. Not continuously but as steps. The fact that the drive in him — a foot, lever. Alternately pressing on the pedals, the farmer moves the stops, pushing the body of the plough cybertigeranime jerks on the treated land. Traditionally, that seemed to be unified, the process of plowing divided here into two separated by time subcycle: “trim” and “blade”. The design of the rotary blade with variable profile allows to reduce the drag of the soil by “pruning”, as well as to improve ergonomic features and the second subframe.

BEE CLINIC

BEE HOSPITALOne of the most dangerous and contagious diseases of bees — varroa. It is called mite, parasitic on the bee larvae and pupae. To deal with it, bee colonies were treated with a solution of oxalic acid. Doing this usually. One of the keepers takes the frame with honeycombs and the other one squirts liquid from a spray sitting on her bees at first with one, then with the other hand.
