Earthbag Building: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques

In combination with other research, this helps greatly with simplistic structural planning. No plumbing/electrics in this though; think of this book as the beginning or framework of your build. But of course, choosing to begin is the first step, books second, material preparation third and actualisation last. I'll update with images soon.

This is a great 'how to' guide. I feel after reading this that I could build one. They even go into making your own tools step by step. Very good book thoroughly recommended if you are interested in alternative materials.

This book is fantastic, it has clear instructions for building an earthbag structure from beginning to end in detail with plenty of diagrams, measurements and pictures.

I built my own earthbag house using this guide alone. It is incredibly detailed and the illustrations are great for understanding how to put earthbags together, adding strip anchors and the art of 'diddling'. There are some areas where information is a bit scarce, or more illustrations would have been useful; windows and doorframes ( Both I, and another friend of mine who also built such a house, had various issues with the methods outlined in the book) and bond beams for round houses for example. But generally, a wise buy if you're about to embark on earthbag building.

I MUST ADMIT WHAT A GREAT ALL ROUND SERVICE , JUST WHAT I NEEDED AND LOTS OF INFO BUT THE PRICE IS A BIT HIGH,.POST/PACKAGING WAS FANTASTIC . WILL BE BACK IN THE FUTURE. A BIG THANK YOU
