HI
I  am curious about building an eathship on inheritance ground. if I dig inside the earth the back wall has to be somehow support. I know that tires are also used as retaining wall. but what if the ground is  a heavy clay ground grab for about 2meters deep (about 6,5 feet) should I support the back wall stronger in someway? thanks

Be wary of tires, a lot of people say they can be dangerous for wall/house building.
