Lavender weeder
A family-farm workshop project: making and mounting a rotary mechanical weeding tool for a lavender cultivator. A video shows construction from welded sheet metal and the tool in motion.
Rotary tool on the cultivatorAdapt a tool to lavender rows and the equipment already on the farm.
Building with available parts made shape, fastening and movement practical questions. The project was an early experience of farm mechanics and welding for a real use.
Prepare
Select and adjust sheet metal for the rotary tool.
Weld
Assemble the metal parts in the workshop.
Mount
Fit the assembly to the lavender cultivator and observe its movement.
This kind of project taught me early that making things means working with the material and tools at hand.
The video documents fabrication and mounting; it does not establish numerical agronomic performance.
