Ivy on side of bus!?

TheRoanBus · 02-24-2018, 06:15 PM

Hi!

I was thinking how amazing would it be to grow climbing ivy on the side of the bus? Stipple with the paint you're using and that'll give the ivy some groves to grow in. I would build long skinny flower beds on the bottom of the bus, fill with flower bed mix and cover with landscaping fabric so the soil doesn't "jump" out. Ive never seen it done before, but why not! It would add to insulation, camouflage and aesthetics. Just image ivy growing around the windows, beautiful!

OR

Spray the outside of the bus with a mixture of moss seeds and water and just watch it grow. Theres moss you can buy online specially made to do this. You can even make patterns with different types of moss.

Chia Bus

Might not be completely legal to drive with it that way.

while it seems neat and definitely functional but it makes your metal rust..

Have you ever passed through one of those agricultural check stations? The ones where they screen you for produce and live plants?

I'm thinking some of the fake stuff from a home decor or craft store and some cable clips with self-tappers...

Live ivy?[emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]mmmm.... Good luck?

Also
FYI
It WILL NOT stay on
Moss or ivy
The wind will rip it right off
I tried this on a project years ago

That's not ivy, it's Jimson Weed.

If it’s stationary
It would be fine

haha, i used to do hydroseeding and sometimes we'd get sprayback on the truck and that stuff would stay on forever until you gave it some elbow grease, wouldnt fly off when we drove on the highway 70+mph. that is with enough of the "tackifiers"

lol it'd be great to see this.

It's good to know that it is technically possible to drive a sprouting bus. I'm trying to decide on the right fertilizer.

Good reason to go with a composting toilet if I ever hear one.

I was thinking more like a maseration pump and a spray wand attached to the black tank.
