Movable Landworkers Cabin

We are in the formative stage of designing a small wood cabin structure that can be transported on a trailer. They are intended to be used as temporary low impact dwellings for landworkers applying for residential permission to live on agricultural land. They will be made for home grown and home sawn timber, primarily larch and spruce; the maximum size will be 2.5m by 12m; they will have a kitchen, shower and composting toilet. They must be movable but we have yet to decide whether this means they will be built onto a chasis on designed to be raised and lowered onto a trailer base. We would be grateful for any advice from those who have also explored this idea.

Custom 3D printable Jang Seeder Rollers

Custom versions of seeder rollers for a Jang seeder. So far, the YX-24 and LJ-24 are adapted to become YX-48 and LJ-48 rollers to double the amount of seeds that are planted per revolution of the seeder wheel. Instead of alternating seeds one at a time on each side of the wheel, our wheel drops two seeds at a time. We also made the holes slightly deeper on the LJ-48. May 1, 2015 - Added the YX-80 for arugula seeds. 80 per revolution.

The tool shown here is a row/bed marker that is rolled out before direct seeding or transplanting. It's purpose is to quickly mark out beds at 1' intervals with an in-row spacing of 11" so that when I direct seed and transplant, crops will be planted on a grid for easy cultivation, harvesting and will facilitate in keeping track of yields / plants per bed.

Sweet Box Germination Chamber V2.0

A "sweat box" style germination chamber built using readily available parts and a broken chest freezer that provides humidity and temperature control. Early season germination can be inconsistent without a closely controlled environment for starting seeds. Commercial greenhouses use similar systems but the cost can be prohibitive for the small vegetable grower. This is a branch of the first version posted to Farm Hack (http://farmhack.net/tools/sweat-box-germination-chamber)
