The Earth Bag Dome Begins To Take Shape



We have done two rows of earth bags.  They are filled with a mixture of lime and earth, mixed in a wheelbarrow and then shovelled into the bags.  It's a bit like knitting, in that when you've started it's hard to stop. 'Just one more row'.  The big wooden bit is a form for where the door will go.




We have also got water and electricity.  Bim and Billy have been helping by digging a trench.  Hot work. Yesterday we could water the garden without having to choose which ones were the lucky ones, every plant could have some :).  Even have a stand pipe.
And finally, a big yellow lily has opened up near the compost loo.  Happy days.
