Myk,
We haven't used "earthbags" at Earthaven ecovillage, where I live, but we
have used
gravel- filled bags for foundations. The bags are stacked on a rubble/gravel
trench and
interwoven with barbed wire then finally stuccoed. We then have a foundation
upon which
we can use strawbales, cob, or clay-straw infill. In our case we have a pole
frame
building with clay-straw. We're quite happy with it.
