Straw Bale Village Do-it-yourself Resource Hub

Welcome to the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) do-it-yourself resource hub. This page is where we will be posting detailed multi-media building tutorials for each component of the Straw Bale Village. We will create this first for the 3-dome cluster as part of our crowdfunding campaign, then we’ll do the same for the complete Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and Duplicable City Center®, and then this and the other 5 villages.

OUR CURRENT FOCUS IS ON THE EARTHBAG VILLAGE
(CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON THE EARTHBAG VILLAGE).
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH THAT VILLAGE MODEL
