ABOUT: Kat Johnson began learning about organic farming in 2005, as a high school intern on an organic farm in California. Since then, she has worked on ten organic vegetable, urban, and livestock farms in four states and gotten her hands dirty in all aspects of farming operations from hauling water, to management, sales. In 2021 she began designing her own ‘Farmlet’ In Floyd County and went full time as Kat The Farmer growing salad-centric crops along with creating value added products. Kat believes in transparency in growing practices, and in creating a community of growers that can share information so that we all succeed in creating more resilient farms, food systems, and the communities they support.

I like the thermostat outlet!!

[@tclodfelter8789]

One thing I'd suggest is for the AC unit is you should have brackets on both ends. If you do travel with it...there will be a LOT of vibrations and it's pretty much balanced there in the middle.

[@katthefarmer]

Agreed! I have also seed folks make covers for the fins so that they dont get filthy during transport too. Seems like it would keep the AC unit working for a longer period of time.

Thats cool!

Good video.

[@katthefarmer]

Thank You

Pretty clever with the sliding wall...I'd like to see it in operation!?

[@katthefarmer]

I have to admit I haven't slid it around much- But I might this season as I grow more tomatoes than I did Last year ;)

[@urgencepc4563]

Nice trailer!
It is so sad that people buy cool bots just to lower temperature on AC units... they're wayyyy overpriced.

[@kong4679]

does this one not use that coolbot controller

[@rubycullen3815]

Enjoyed your video. Couple of questions. How did you make sliding wall? Anything you would do differently after this build?

[@katthefarmer]

I think I would have done spray foam if I did it again (maybe tow it to an insulation company and have them do it on site!) I ended up having to replace the used AC unit I got within the first season too, and replaced it with NEW. The Sliding wall is just a few sheets of foam board taped together and cut in such a way that it wedges into place.
