Modern HVAC cost about $200/year to own + $2000 per year in energy costs. Or more. Over 100 years, that's $220k. Over two hundred thousand dollars. Good engineering at the start saves the most money long term. I'd love to see programs like this build class in all 50 US states.

The whole property was (3 dwellings including the Earthship). The backstory is the Earthship could only be approved if it was zoned as an Airbnb (for tourism). But the owner builders were so impressed by the result that now they want to live in earthship of their own. So they’re on the hunt for that now.

What an incredible doco and project! Loved this, and it was really special to actually meet the owners and hear more about their experience at the screening. This has been really inspiring and made me wonder about the possibility of getting involved in a project myself. I've been interested in Earthships for 15+ years so this was a really unique opportunity to get such a nuanced insight into the process. That community though! And what a journey to be sharing in together. Hard work, connection, and fun. Good old getting-hands-dirty outdoors experience under the sun seems like it would do wonders for the soul. What an epic vision and so wonderful to have actually been to this property and seen the finished product - the interior design was also so rustic chic and delightful - very very tastefully done. I would love to spend some time staying in an Earthship one day! Having visited two Earthships in SA, the infographics in this doco allowed me to understand on a much deeper level the way some of the processes, structure, and temperature modification works. I loved the time lapses, seeing the work on speed lol, and the way the trees grew with time framing the property. Thanks for a great experience Nick aka Graaly :) 🤗🌏🛳📽🙌👏

You're right-this is an Airbnb, and I completely get it - houses are primarily meant to be lived in, not just used for short-term rentals. I agree. That said, an Airbnb Earthship can also serve as a unique way to introduce people to the full, immersive experience of what living in an Earthship is like. It often helps inspire and sell others on the principles behind these sustainable homes. Another consideration is the structure's longevity-while it's being used as an Airbnb now, future generations could use it for a home, many times over. Please share any additional thoughts you might have on this.

Fun. My only issue is all the complexity in giving the plants access to the water. I like the simplicity of a wicking approach. But I like the upcycling of the water bottles and crate approach. Probably just laying cloth in the crates would work for wicking the water, especially once the plant roots start sucking on it.
@growingwithgraalyАй бұрын
Cheers for your ideas. I thought about that too. The only risk I see with your suggestion is if a human or animal were to step onto the floating section (thinking it was land), they'd probably get trapped and/or sunk. So the heavy duty version was what I decided on. From a safety standpoint. at the very least. Thanks again for chiming in.
@HoboGardenerBenАй бұрын
@SuburbanHomesteadExperiments That makes sense. I like the big platform aspect, I just wonder if rags could have wicked the water for the plants so there isn't anything to break down. That's all you do for a typical wicking bed, provide a soil wick for the water to travel through osmotically. Also have the olla clay pot idea to work with. Unglazed clay pots slowly release water to roots that attach to the outside of them. So perhaps they could extend down into the water like a reverse olla.

Awesome!! How long did this take you? How thick should the Perspex be for highest performance? Is it worth going any thicker than your 5mm? How much expansion did you allow for with the expansion and contraction you mentioned with the Perspex? 2mm all around?
@growingwithgraaly4 ай бұрын
Hi there, thicker would only improve thermal performance but 5mm thick is working well. I left 10mm gap but that’s probably overkill. But it’s hidden by the outer frame so it didn’t hurt either. I hope this helps.

If I may offer a counter argument I’d say, humans are part of nature so you could say, it’s really nature working with nature. And nature (as you see it) may need a helping hand to rebuild. If Gavin had done nothing, it would have been an ever growing weed paddock. My two cents anyway.
