I am looking to build a cheap solar dehydrator!!

I have looked on a few different websites and have read numerous pages on ideas for the Solar Dehydrator that I am looking to make. I wanted to get the communities ideas and suggestions before I commit to one single style!

I am looking to make one as inexpensive as possible, and hopefully mostly out of wood as I do not have access to a wielder, nor am I one myself!

 

Thank you for all the help and I look forward to the great ideas!!!!!

Peace

Irrigation Pump

Hi! I have been consumed with this problem and haven't been able to find a solution. I am looking to build a rather inexpensive solar irrigation pump that can draw water out from depths of about 500 ft. I wanna combine this pump with drip irrigation. I'd like to use it for my farm in India. Looked into buying one but companies selling such pumps are super expensive. Anyone here have any experience with solar irrigation submersible pumps? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
