Hi
I have again some question about earthship. because I am about building one maybe alredy this year- if all documents will be accepted. but shure next year in worst case

okay
my question is about the green space in the winter garden

would it be possible to get there a lawn? I love to lay on the lawn. my Idea was to get one inside of the home between the plants.
Would it work? I know probably there could be some problem with wet air inside. Am I wrong? But what would you say? would it be possible?
Here is a sketch:

I could not find anything about them. You may be the guinea pig with this idea.
Lawns need;
- soil
- sunlight
- moisture
- trimming
But some herb lawns dont need trimming and that may be an area to look at.

The newer model of earthships I have seen in taos,nm the greenhouse is somewhat seperated by a wall/windows.So I think it would be no problem to grow a lawn.You Should give it a try and let us know how it turns out.You could be the pioneer in this endeavor.

The little engine that could.

If I were in this situation I would want to plant low-growing native grasses like these conservation grasses. Buffalograss, Curly Mesquite, and Blue Grama. Plant these three together for a maintenance-free area.

I assume this would be a greenhouse-like area with lots o light.

This thread will give you some information on the Buffalograss:
