Earth Bag Mud Plaster House DIY Project – Off The Grid Earthbag Home

As the name says, this is building a stable, livable home for people to get involved in building. It sounds crazy, but there are pros to it. Mud was the basis of many other structures before stone, then steel because the main source. Plus, people are thinking about making things all natural living in the outside world.

This is where mud becomes a valuable source. Concrete causes a massive carbon footprint and does work well with drainage, making things damp. For the foundations, build a trench half-meter deep, fill it with rocks or a pipe with plenty of holes in them, and lay gravel on top.

On top of the house, you need to make living roofs. Add plenty of rainwater to mud and it’s very heavy. While the weight can be a concern, mud roofs give great insulation against heat and cold, can be the setting of a beautiful garden, are inexpensive to build, and shields the home from large sounds, fires, storms, and invading UV rays. There are different kinds of living roof. The intensive roof is heavy duty, over four inches thick, and allows to make a garden. Extensive roofs are easy to make and thinner but need to be maintained more.
