Cob: RE: Domes ...Raduazo at aol.com Raduazo at aol.comWed Dec 8 16:34:07 CST 1999
It is possible to make earth domes using synthetic bags filled with earth and tamped into dome shape. I think the bags are then coated with cement. Whether this is safe or not is open to question. Cement tends to trap moisture in the earth of cob and adobe. I assume it would also trap moisture in these earth filled bags. Whether these bags will accumulate enough moisture to cause catastrophic failure? That is the question. Ed
