JacobSpringsFarm:Greenhouse
From RAWiki
One of the Jacob Springs farm [|buildings] is a half hoop style greenhouse that is located on the southeastern corner of the farm. It is connected to the south side of the woodshed as a lean-to greenhouse. This greenhouse is typically used to extend the season of certain favored crops eaten by the farm team. The structure was built entirely from salvaged scrap by the farm team in 2010. 10 salvaged 1,000 liter IBC tote tanks provide some heat storage capacity. 8 upcycled bathtubs are used as planters for these crops.
