From old books on beekeeping found out that Dadan, which are known even to a beginner beekeeper, as side and ceiling insulation in their hives used mats of straw cutting. I use mats of Chakan, which is usually cut in early winter. The result got rid of the dampness in the hive. But in the spring after the flyby of bees re-make of the case papers. Convinced that Chakan is a great insulation.
Old, seemingly obsolete washing machine— a treasure for zealous owner who loves to make things with their hands. Available it be convenient stainless capacity, small motor AVE-071-4CM (220 V, 180 W, 1350 rpm), ballasts, enough compact body and lots of parts that still can be use. For example, for the solution of many problems of mechanization from the processing of gifts to the garden for fruit juices and vitamin-nutrient mixture to miracle mills with high productivity. Propaganda is the most interesting of these developments, and a lot of attention and my favorite is “modelist-Konstruktor” (see № 12’92, 8’99, 5’2001).
We offer mini tractor “baby-3” (the third model) was made by me in the calculation of the mechanized harvesting of hay. From here he and a sufficiently powerful power unit, and two spring-mounted seat (which is perfect for the driver and a partner of the operator with frequent movements from one meadow to another), and high maneuverability in combination with multi-speed modes of operation (8 forward gears and 4 backward), and a convenient hinged mechanism, which is maximally adapted for a standard mower.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
