I'm planning to rent a mini-excavator in May to install a septic system and installing earthtubes is a side project I've been considering while I have the equipment on site. Currently, I'm considering two 60 foot runs of 4" pipe buried ~6' deep. The runs meet at the end at a vertical well where they could either be connected to create a closed loop or optionally left open and air could be pulled from both. I'll make a sketch and post it here in the next week to give you a better idea of my plan.

Do you have a well for water? There is a thread, which I'm sorry I can't find at the moment, about cooling with well water.
