I also saw plans to make a greenhouse out of an old trampoline frame. Good ideas!

I like cheap, easy or free. Trampolines can be had cheap on craigslist.

I checked the link you gave, then followed up watching some YouTube videos using the trampoline. Frickin' awesome. Mother Earth News has some good articles as well. I'm kicking myself now because my neighbor tried to give me their trampoline a few months ago and I said no. We don't let our kids play on them, especially with other kids on it. Too dangerous, seen too many serious injuries. Our youngest started Kindergarten with a cast on her leg for a broken ankle playing on one at our friends house, that we didn't know they had.

Now our neighbors have it set up, and it's too late. But I know now for next time.

I wonder if the plastic bottles "leach" chemicals like they are said to do if reused or sit inside a hot car or in the sun?

BPA isn't found in all plastic bottles. You'll have to look for those that DO NOT Have the #7 recycle symbol.

Thank you! I just may try making a small one. Wonder if there are plans for a beer bottle greenhouse. Inor would love an excuse to drink more beer.

I'm sure there is. I even saw a beer can house last year.

Look up earthships...they can be made free using tyres and mud...and they're great to work in too.. A colleague of mine is in the process of building one to live in after he built one as a work shop.
