In our difficult time many people previously not even tempted to work on the land, got the land and grow vegetables-berries, which become a significant food primacom to the table in General and vitamins in particular.
Small-scale mechanization
IN THE STRUGGLE FOR THE HARVEST
A real scourge of the potato fields was the Colorado potato beetle. And in recent years because of the warm winter it is getting more and more. To deal with it in different ways. But the most reliable and effective way all the same- spraying with special chemicals. If the area is small, then no problem. Buy in store or on the market hand-held sprayer for any model that is charged with a solution of capacity for work! An hour and a half and the plot of the pests exterminated. But this, again, in that case, if the potato plantation is small – five to ten acres.
BEES WATERED AND FED THE MACHINE
When rented with option to purchase three of the apiary, I realized how difficult it is to handle a large number of bee colonies. Part of the problem was solved with the help of the trough-drinkers, slightly improved development offered by experienced beekeepers in the pages of periodicals. Each of used to me bee-feeders-drinkers consists of a wooden mandrel which is inserted a glass or plastic bottle with thread. Mandrel is better to make from dry birch – less burrs when machining.
CONCRETE — JIGSAW
Well-known model electric fibroelastic inherent drawbacks: on the table crawl, hands from the constant tension when working with the machine buzzing… to cut delicate items, should be thoroughly accustomed. But if broken flat spring near the nail, there arises a problem of their repair. But the vibrating base, remaining out of work, can be used!
MIXER WHIP UP
Anyone who self built a house, garage, cottage, etc., knows that the most difficult stage — zero cycle (the Foundation) associated with the preparation of a large number of concrete mix or mortar. Of course, if you have a mixer, then everything is easier and simpler. But to buy such an expensive setup for short-term use is expensive and knead with a shovel in the trough is not very desirable. Way to make the mixer itself. In the “Modeller-designer” there have been several publications on this topic.
GREENHOUSE BIOFUEL
The greenhouse is hardly surprising. As in the days of V. dal, compiler of dictionary of the living great Russian, it’s all familiar “hothouse without the furnace; dug-in srubar, a box of manure and black soil, indoor removable Windows for Virasana early greens, vegetables or fruit, loving the heat”. Keeping the overall features of its numerous analogues, greenhouse and received recognition from the members of our garden co-op has substantial differences. This excavation shed design that runs on biofuel and is equipped with mechanical system avtobronetehnika. As a “removable Windows” used house the sashes, the Central one of which – with opening transom or large window.
AT PEST — A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
There are many different tools, devices, equipment, value of which is primarily determined practical purpose, and their appearance and technical aesthetics are of secondary importance. I think that applies to them and of garden sprayer machine, which sprayed pesticides against pests of plants. If you have at least a small locksmith skills, then make a sprayer you can own from a suitable container. The principle of operation and technical parameters (capacity, performance etc.) it differs little from those offered by industry.
TO GROW POTATOES? IN THE SAWDUST!
It is possible to invent in all spheres of human activity. And agriculture is no exception. It is known that potatoes are best grown in sandy soil: and plant it well and harvest easy to mechanize. Well, if the soil is solid clay, weather – rain, rain, revocable, and agricultural equipment available? Grow crops in this case, the farmer helps his fiction. To trace the course of thought of the inventor, as a rule, difficult. But by and large, useless. Much more important is the result of the thinking process. In the case of potatoes, in relation to my humble experience since 1991, it can be so.
SPRAY? DISK!
For chemical protection of agricultural crops from pests and diseases, and in making micronutrients during weeding chemicals are usually converted into coarse aerosol, which is directed to plants or soil. At the same time seeking to labor costs were minimal, and spraying the preparations were used, if possible, without losses. And fractional composition of the droplets, the content of active substances try to make optimal.
SELECT THE KRUPORUSHKA
Have in the farm or on a personal farmstead of a good high-performance kruporushka not a fad, but rather a vital necessity. Especially when you consider the high cost of ready to “purchase” animal feed and often inconsistent quality of the advertised. However, some specific designs of existing diversity of shredders (including home-made developments, published at different times in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”) to choose?
