I wanna earthbag house!

[AnnieA]

They're inexpensive, 'earth' friendly and don't have to look like beehives. I can only imagine how cozy and quiet they are.

12 is great isn't it! I wonder how hard it is to maintain the living roof.

I bet they have better insulation than my house does. I have my doubts about them standing up to earthquakes, hurricanes or a tornado, but then, what does.

@HoneyNut Wind load testing has shown that they're stronger than conventionally built homes due to the mass of the walls. As the bags are placed, they're woven with barbed wire for stability, then are permanently sealed on both interior and exterior surfaces with a strong, permanent substance such as concrete or stucco.
