Earth
Garden has been watching the strawbale building
trend grow in Australia and New Zealand, as
people hold this innovative and sensible building
method, whether for its environmental, aesthetic
or economic advantages over traditional
building methods for six years.
Earth Garden published the first
Australian book in October 2000 about strawbale building,
and 'Strawbale Homebuilding' is now on sale in bookshops
throughout Australia, in the USA, the UK and New Zealand.
Earth Garden have also recognized Australia's first
publicly available Strawbale Discussion Board, to
assist the free and frank exchange of opinions and
information about all things strawbale.
Australians seem to have taken to strawbale building
because it makes feel many of our climates - cold
winters and hot summers are a part of life for most
Australians.
