Well, I am not sure about how you will do it. But the best thing right now is to get the SEO services for your webpage so that it gets boosted and you can get more clients from google. This can easily be done if you get the web 2.0 blog backlinks (link is external) from us and work on them. So hurry up as the offer will end very soon.

I just sent off some soil samples to a lab, but am wondering what this could additionally offer?

Hi! If you’re interested in a history making* opportunity then perhaps you’ve found a place for that to happen on the 30 acre patch I’ve been working on since 1984. Read my bio and if you’re still interested then let’s talk.

A teacher friend asked us for faster build that is less dependent on soldering because they don't have the budget for that kit. So we've developed a "minimum version" of the 2019 classroom logger using pre-made Dupont jumper cables (as we did in 2016) to reduce the build time to about 1 hour. I've also added support to the code base for using the indicator LED as a light sensor, so they can use the logger with their existing curriculum even if they don't add extra sensors. The ability to use the red &blue LEDs as a proxy for PAR measurements may be interest to the farming community. (see: Forest Mimms publications on that for further reference)

This version of the Cave Pearl is probably the best starting point for people building their very first Arduino-based data logger.

Dr. Beddow's instrumentation students have been building our EDU logger for more than three years and, based on that experience, we've redesigned the classroom model to accommodate a wider range of student projects. A full set of part links & YouTube videos explains the new assembly in enough detail for beginners. We've also released a new "Data logger starter script" which should run on just about any Arduino-based project:

Hopefully this version of the logger is easier for people just starting down the path to building their own environmental monitors.

As we know that tractor is considered as the primary agricultural machine which is widely used in agricultural fields in especially in Food production. Tractor Safety is must not only for woman but also for men, Before buying any brand New or Used Tractor, either it is Massey Ferguson tractor (link is external) or something else we have to ensure & maintain quality standards.

I would like the plans for building this bed shaper as well. Where can I find or get them? Thanks so much.

Dear all, I am also very interesed into this project, because it might wind up changes for agroforestry and keyline disgn (regenerative agriculture) From Germany I also would like to support this project. I am good in project management, facilitating, general management, finance, organisational setup. Thank you for getting into touch.

Hello! Is there anyone who develops this project? There is an partner who is interested in developing the solution while retaining the license (Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) .What is the degree of detail of the project at the moment? Also in Russia there are strong guys on the hinged equipment for Conceptual scaled 'farmbot'

Hi Paul, I was working with a farmer pal of mine to build something similar to what's on the site. would like to know of your progress and whether you have drawings you can share. we are particularly interested and exploring motor to hub drive concepts. any leads would be appreciated. Much thanks! Cheers, Jamey Gerlaugh gerlaugh@gmail.com

Thank you so much for the pig waterer design. I think it will solve my trouble with pigs and water. I don’t have Sono-tube. An easy alternative is to simply cut the sidewall out of an old tire and pour the cement in. Choose the tire size based on your strength, and the size of pigs you will be using it with. The page mentions doubts about using iron pipe with potable water. Black iron pipe rusts out pretty quick, use galvanized iron pipe instead. Galvanized iron pipe is much cheaper than brass and will last many years. Andrew

A visiting researcher dropped by our humble basement workshop with questions about the physical skill level students would need if they added one of our DIY data loggers to their environmental curriculum. I figured the easiest way to cover that was to simply build one, while they recorded the process.

The result of that 3 hour session is now available on YouTube

The rigging diminishment between the Exercycle and the thresher drum isn't essential, and can be balanced effectively as a bit of hindsight. Exercycle accompany a wide range of apparatus proportions between the wrenches and the flywheel. The thresher drum will work best at something close to 200-300 rpm. https://dissertationhelp-uk.co.uk/ Too moderate and the grain won't get sifted. Too quick and the wobble in the pivot will shake the machine separated. Some wobble, recall, is great, as it shakes the seeds down. The bicycle chain some portion of the transmission will be content with a bigger proportion; the v-belt some portion of the transmission will be upbeat (there will be less contact) with a littler proportion. When all is said in done, the flywheel stores more vitality on the off chance that it is turning quicker (motor vitality increments with the square of speed), so there are a few motivations to have an expansive proportion to the flywheel (ex. 4:1 increment), and afterward a little proportion to the drum (ex. 1:1.2 lessening). I trust this is useful!

Hi case495maine -

The Open Pipe Kit website lives at https://openpipekit.github.io (link is external)

The .org address was just a shortcut to the website that we decided not to bother paying for. Sorry about the confusion.

we are in new jersey which has typical summer heat, but some days in recent years have been brutal with the humidity (and i've lost a few batches of my beloved herbs) some things i do when it's gross outside: avoid drying racks (love them, collect them, ditch them when it's august and im a sweaty mess) the solar dehydrator is an awesome tool for drying herbs and i have some plans for a few neat ones if you want links! my kids and i have made twenty-minute pizza box dehydrators that worked as well as the more intricate designs i've found. heck, just make a solar screen and set it outside or on your car dashboard. just keep an eye on them, it's quicker than you'd think and you don't want to bleach them.

some herbs i struggle with even using the above, and so i try to soak them (fresh) in oils/vinegars for condiment / salves etc
