Hi guys and girls, I'm in the "planning and preparation" stage for the next build project. I'm trying to get a price for a roll of raschel knit tube but I can only find prices for bags. Does anyone know of a supplier in the uk, or in the eu who'll post to uk?
Also recommendations on bag/tube size for a ~1.5m tall retaining wall/wheelbarrow ramp. I'm hoping to use the same size to build a small shed, I'm guessing if it's good enough for a retaining wall then it'll hold up a tin roof without much fuss!

Thanks in advance!

I use the 45x60cm net bags as I wasted hours trying to find net rolls. Truthfully that is a Temu or Vevor order rather than ebay.

The bags actually are much easier to work with as a solo builder i have found - whenever i move earth i bag it.

this is how i make ponds and living walls for all structures, a hole becomes a wall very quickly, so raised beds and mini swales are legion!

One of my earthship inspired builds was documented and introduced on the YouTube channel “Liveration” but I sense this community would be interested in more details regarding permaculture technology utilised over what is now 5 experimental builds of underground homes on my playground I call home.

I welcome any questions - ideas I have, answers I will give

These people: Sinclair-rush netting seem to be Kent based and do a range of netting and protective sleeving. Not sure it is the right stuff for earthbags though.

this is specialist and expensive (posh) and expensive, net bags never fail - double bagging makes net bags handle sharp stones easily without tearing or splitting
