Frequently asked gardening related questions
Natural building in permaculture refers to construction practices that use readily available, local, non-toxic, and often recycled or renewable materials, minimising environmental impact. Examples include straw bale, cob, rammed earth, timber frame, and earthbag construction. These buildings are often designed with passive solar principles, integrated with the landscape, and aim for high energy efficiency and low embodied energy (energy used in material production and construction). They embody the ethics of Earth Care and People Care by creating healthy, sustainable living spaces.
