Yes my dear..

i would love to live in them.. they look kinda cozy..and they let in the Light and the air.

and they are natural,

how you would choose a straw house over that is beyond me..

Garad
how much do you think sand or earth costs? and plastic sacks?
you can use old tires as well, works fine.
