Garden Tractor's Trailer Used As A Greenhouse
I found a way to use my garden tractor's trailer as a greenhouse so I can grow small plants for transplanting into a garden after the danger of frost is over.
  I simply put the small plants in it and covered the entire trailer with storm windows. I heated it with a 60-watt bulb attached to a bulb socket attached to an extension cord strung from the house.
  When weather reports say frost is coming, I cover the glass with a Masonite sheet or plastic tarp.
  Although I haven't tried it, you could also insulate the inside of the trailer with Styrofoam. (Jim E. Dale, 721 Hillside Dr., La Cygne, Kansas 66040; ph 913 757-2084).
