Construction
Enclosure Design
MATERIALS:
Fescue Grass Sod Roll
Plywood
1x1 Wood (to make brackets)
Water-Resistant Black Tape
Metal Mesh
Flat-head push Pins (to attach mesh)
Wood glue
Nut/bolt (with Black Tape to seal 'spaces'/assembly together)
Screws (for brackets)
Humidity/Temperature Sensor - from a Elegoo Uno Project Super Starter Kit
COST:
$40 Elegoo Uno Project Super Starter Kit (Amazon)
$35 Plywood
$25-40 Water-Resistant Tape
$10 Fescue Sod (8.34 SF, Lowe's Garden Center)
$15-20 Metal Mesh
$2.11/ea. Zinc Plated Hex Bolt (Everbilt 1/2 in.-13 x 6 in. from HomeDepot)
$0.26/ea. Zinc Plated Hex Nut (Everbilt 1/2 in.-13 from HomeDepot)
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Drill Press
Screw Driver
Pilot Hole Drill
Bandsaw OR Table Saw
Ruler
Clamps
BUILDING PROCESS:
1. Cut wood pieces for each side of the box and the plant-holding assembly, drill holes in the end of the box (opposite the planted side) for air in and out. Make 4 'filters' to attach to panted assembly to make 25%, 50%, and 75% exposure within the testing space.
2. Glue/assemble boxes (clamps, wood glue)
3. Assemble planted filter - two pieces of plywood hosting holes as descried above lined with metal mesh that sandwich a wooden frame holding the grass in place (frame lined also with water resistant tape).
4. Situate sensors
5. TEST
