We have become quite fond of this type of building and are embarking on our second project using earthbags.
it is going to be a semi dugout goat shelter.

we have found that the new type woven plastic feed and dog food bags are PERFECT to use for these projects..

the concept is simple,fill the bags and stack them just as you were laying block,barbed wire is used between the layers to hold it all together and you tamp everything down to keep it level and settle it all in..
this is a great way to build with recycled items at virtually no cost.

i am wondering if anyone else here has messed around with this type construction and if so i would love to read about it..

as far as our newest project,it is going to be a 8x8 shelter partially underground and it will have a earthen roof. almost all materials will be recycled or harvested from here on the property.

thus far i have completed all the digging required and we are having a "workshop" next weekend to "git er dun"..

if there is a interest i will post photos and/or video of the process..

if not, i wont bother..lol
