One day, I'm going to have house like this. An Earthbag House. Somewhere in the Kootenays with a BIG herb garden and a small apothecary. That's my dream and I'm going to make it happen, What's your dream? http://www.earthbagbuilding.com
Quoting from "Earthbag Building.com" Building with
earthbags (sometimes called sandbags) is both old and new.
Sandbags have long been used, particularly by the military, for creating strong,
protective barriers, or for
flood control. The same reasons that make them useful for these
applications carry over to creating housing. Since the
walls are so substantial, they r
esist all kinds of severe weather (or even bullets) and also stand up to
natural calamities such as
earthquakes and floods. They can be
erected simply and quickly with readily available components, for very little money.
