That way a garden COULD be transported.

Ohh that is a good Idea.

I'd consider including a trailer-mounted outhouse, too; since you'll be digging in there anyway. :roll:

You know? A hydroponic greenhouse on a trailer would work fairly well in a sealed circulatory system, less weight than dirt, less issues, and the axle can charge a battery to power the pump...

For winter ops, you'll probably need to insulate the underside of the trailer to at least some degree. If it's up on a trailer, you have more heat loss out the bottom than a "real" greenhouse.

Lowes and Home Depot have some nice transparent and or transluscent panels that are light enough for such a project. Use the slightly more expensive polycarbonate ones for the front end though. I'll have to tell about the shower trailer project we had for 2 week group camping trips. :)
