Dr, what should i put in the bag to build a small/medium sized earthen/natural fish pond?
Gravel or sand because water won’t hurt it. Plaster with cement.
I would love to see some photos of earthbag built greenhouses, planters, erosion control terraces, pools and ponds. where can I get more info?
I am building 3 120 square foot earth bag structures. Once done I will want a greenhouse, a few planters, and some erosion control. any info would be great.
