Walls of earthbags

Never ones to shy away from a new idea, the South Melbourne Commons crew have begun building unique, earth bag retaining walls for some of the site’s food gardens.  Here’s proof  that you can use the dirt from beneath your feet to create simple but beautiful structures in a manner that’s easy to learn, seriously environmentally friendly and dirt cheap. Having learnt the basics from Guiding Star Creations, the Commons will continue to explore earthbagging techniques.
