Moonshine! Fermentation produces CO2. How efficient, I don't know, but consider the side product.I have a few things I am trying to plan going on right now and would enjoy some feedback..
1. Off-grid Co2? With no propane or natural gas is a sustainable option available? I have been trying to search for something to grow/keep in the flower room to produce Co2 naturally once I vent lights and seal the room for summer. No solutions yet..
2. Has anybody used the fence rail top tube bender from buildmyowngreenhouse.com? I am looking at the DY-20 to build a simple 20x24 propagation house in the next couple weeks. I was planning PVC conduit but with the minimal extra cost I would rather use steel.
Also, any recommendations on a small tractor? Looking at Ford 8n's. I keep hearing mixed reviews on how well loaders actually function for day to day chores. Currently thinkng 8n for plowing and general field work and then a possible yard tractor size with a bucket. This would work well in the chicken coup and pig pen I think.
Just started some Seedsman skunk/haze and 5 more Satori. I am really hoping for a male as my last 18 seeds I have popped have been female. Really looking to do some Satori F2's and some Satori crosses.
Thanks for the help!

I just purchased a BCS walking tractor.

Haven't had a chance to use it, as it's a thousand miles away right now.
BCS does have an excellent reputation and both Joel and Chris at Earth Tools are very helpful. Joel actually talked me out of buying a few implements, saving me $$$.
It is 2 wheeled and doesn't have a skip loader along with a few other features of a full size tractor.

I have the 4',6', and 12' hoop benders from BMOGH, along with the stand. Only the 12' and bigger really fits the stand. The smaller benders can be rigged to fit.
I do recommend them for making fairly consistent sized hoops.
Basically they are just a jig.
Made of 2 bent fence rails, tacked together with a hoop at one end to hold the end of your pipe.
The stand is 2" square stock with 1/2" emt used for bracing.
It's just a mom and pop shop. It's reasonable quality and it isn't going to break like something I would try to screw together.
You may want to check out the Gothic style hoop houses before committing. They may be better for your snow load.

You can weight down the back of your tractor. We used to get someone on the back of the New Holland in order to pick up a pallet of block. It would pick them up though.
