Pedestal greenhouse or general-purpose table

By Jan Steinman

Straight table legs get in the way and are fragile without lots of bracing. A pedestal base with 45 and 30/60 geometry uses 40% less lumber than a 6-legged table, is self-adjusting on un-level ground, and is much stronger than...

Farm Hack Talk

Aquaponics

Every year, we see our world population growing and a subsequent decrease in food availability. Rural America and its small farmers are losing access to labor, ingenuity, youth, and capital. Food quality and safety are being compromised for profit and an unsustainable notion of 'progress.' Budgets are getting increasingly tight for small businesses. The desertification of our environment and build up of toxins in the eco-systems is rapidly advancing, as we approach what is believed by many scientists to be the sixth mass extinction.

Solar Powered Greenhouse Ventilation

Basic Information

Because we are in transition, we will be starting seeds for Riverpark Farm in my personal hoophouse. The hoophouse measures 10' X 20' with a 90” Diameter hoop. The space is big enough to do the work I need, but isn't a perfect seed-starting location. I don't have any electricity on-site where I could power exhaust fans or circulation fans, which are crucial to successful seed-starting in transitional weather. Additionally, as the hoophouse will largely be unattended while I'm at work during the day, the system must be automated.
