Kelly Hart is the host of www.earthbagbuilding.com, www.greenhomebuilding.com and www.dreamgreenhomes.com, and has built his own home using the earthbag technique. He has adapted the concepts popularized by Nadir Khalili and his "superadobe" building, by filling the bags primarily with crushed volcanic rock. This creates insulated walls that are similar to strawbale, except that they are completely impervious to damage from moisture, insects or rodents. Kelly has produced a DVD, titled "Building with Bags: How We Made Our Experimental Earthbag/Papercrete House", which chronicles his adventure of building this house, and shows other earthbag houses as well.
