Solid Earth Adobe Buildings
Thanks again to Cliff for another good tip. I love earthbag building for its incredible structural qualities (earthquake resistance, strength, bullet resistance, low cost, simplicity, etc.). I love adobe primarily for its amazing beauty. The rustic beauty of finished adobe walls is very warm and comforting. One option is to combine both building methods. Use earthbags for exterior walls and adobe for interior partition walls.
