Thanks Cherry!
Awesome info. Yeah, the Cob Cottage are the origional builders in the US and they have been at it just over 15 years I believe. It's a relatively new thing here in the US but a very old tradition elsewhere. I love the living roofs, you could grow your veggies on top. It IS alot of work. Straw bale being less as with Cob you must create your bricks for the inner walls. But Cob is cheaper. Did you know Cob means lump of earth?
Now all you need is lots of great friends who are willing.
There are some communities starting up here locally doing the green building thing. Real inspiring to see folks working things out without the exchange of money and the happy harmony it creates.
