schoolbus greenhouse
got an old gutted schoolbus on our property. Was thinking about making it into a makeshift greenhouse. Anyone ever try the same? Any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance.

Mother Earth News had an article on such decades ago. Should work reasonably well other than a lot of energy loss when it is cold.

Bales of hay can be placed all around the bus, up to windows for insulation, maybe overhead also. The rotting hay would make some heat year-round.
