Each project includes an explanation of the tool's purpose and use, as well as the time commitment, skill level, and equipment required to build it. Projects range from the super-simple (requiring a half-day to build) to the more complex, and include how-to photographs and illustrations with variations for customizing the finished implement. Along with instructions for building items such as simple seedling benches, a mini barrel washer, a DIY germination chamber, and a rolling pack table, Volk addresses systems design for farm efficiency, including how to design an effective drip irrigation system and how to set up spreadsheets for collecting important planning, planting, and market data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josh Volk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635863201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635863208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Storey Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 8.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Josh Volk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053790556415,"sku":"9781635863208","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17a5ad8c-7751-44ff-a5ac-cecac78e8d1c.jpg?v=1685026282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/build-your-own-farm-tools-josh-volk-9781635863208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
