Earthbag construction is a sustainable building method that uses bags filled with soil or other natural materials to create walls. These bags are stacked and compacted to form sturdy structures, often shaped like domes or arches. This technique is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as it utilizes local materials and reduces waste.
The process typically involves filling polypropylene or burlap bags with earth and layering them to create a strong, insulated wall. Once the walls are built, they can be plastered with natural materials like clay or lime to enhance durability and aesthetics. This method is gaining popularity for its resilience and low environmental impact.
