Starting a vegetable farm can be very expensive but some easy DIY projects can cut your costs significantly. Lisa Helm will share practical tricks she's picked up from her experience founding the community garden and art park, Garden Station, and the Dayton Urban Grown incubator and training farm.

Learn how to build a hoophouse with parts from a big box hardware store for one-third the cost of a kit, a food-safe DIY salad spinner with more capacity than a commercial hand crank model at a fraction of the cost, a germination chamber, a wash-pack station, nursery components, and more.
