No-Till Growers | Foot-Operated Root Washer (DIY) @notillgrowers | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
As promised, in this video my engineer buddy David Ladnier joins me to break down the new foot-operated root washer at Rough Draft Farmstead. David helped me to design this to increase efficiency in our wash/pack area and I wanted to get all the nitty gritty details so you could build one yourself at your farm. It is open sourced, so below are all the pieces and parts. Let us know if you have questions and also tag us with your versions!
