Can you use dog food bags. Because they look just about the same to me. And i have a lot of them. And my friemd is saving some for me too. Reply
Dog food bags do not breathe so any damp contents will not dry or cure, so these would not work well earthbag building. Reply
You could run an experiment by punching some holes like that, filling the bag with damp earthen fill, compacting it and letting it stand for awhile and see if the fill material dries out and hardens or not. Reply

Would it work if the bag had small holes punctured to allow ventilation?
