Thank you all for your posts! My alerts got hurried in my email and I’ll be taking a look! I’m so sad that in Alaska we have no lava rock mines even though we have so many volcanoes. No way to publicly access companies that mine it if they do. I’m thinking maybe I could drive a load up, or maybe I could make an air Crete/styrocrete exterior.

Basically it wouldn’t be affected by moisture or rot? Like on the outside of the dirtbag home, a layer of Aircrete? Would this prevent the bags from breathing? What if you made Aircrete, then ground it up into small poreous rocks like lava rock?

Hey does anyone have some good resources on earthbag basements? I’ve seen a couple YouTube videos where they collapsed but they were not circular.

I live in Alaska, reasonably dry but it rains a bit. Gets cold. I was thinking of earthbags reinforced with that glass polymer rebar and putting insulation around the sides, and a plastic water barrier sock around it, to about 2 ft above ground level.

Any advice or material to read up on would be appreciated.
