Made sure to visit earthship central outside of Taos, NM and my favorite part of the architecture is the permanent garden in the front. One definitely needs to make peace with the odor, but I love the smell of a greenhouse anyway.
I eventually figured out that NM stands for New Mexico but for several seconds there my brain would only give me “North Marolina”.
You never know. It could be New Mork or North Makota, Nest Mirginia or even Nomtana
Nom nomtana
The tires are a really terrible idea that makes it much harder to ram the rammed earth. That increases the labor demands of something that’s already extremely labor intensive (not to mention what trying to swing a sledgehammer at an angle into the wall of a tire you’re standing over probably does to your back).
They also can only really be used in the desert.
But the way the various parts of the earth ship support each other’s functions is pretty good. We really ought to make our city’s systems work like that though, instead of building isolated self-contained houses.
I want one of these so bad
Step one - get a shovel.
Is step two get friends with more shovels?
