Thank you to Lasse Holmes, a natural builder from Homer, who discussed his experience, methods, & materials for putting together homes out of local & natural materials! A lot of really good advice was given about forming your own earthen (mud) recipe and putting together your own self-designed natural house.  Lasse also shared a great deal of knowledge about rocket mass heaters and how the natural home building movement & philosophy compares to green home construction.

If you missed hearing about Lasse’s experience, there are many great books out there about natural home building.  A good place to start would be the Wikipedia sight for a general introduction of this trade.  The Natural Building School is also a great place to investigate.
