Woman/Man Hours

Earthbag building break
Take time out to relax and admire the fruits of your labor.

We calculate a conservative overall time of 4 bags per person per hour for construction of the entire earthbag system, using the 50lb bags. This takes into account filling wheel barrows, laying wire, leveling forms, hard-assing, tamping, installing chicken wire cradles, strip anchors, shelf brackets, and slowing down as walls get taller. As the walls get higher the dynamics of the team shifts, keeping one person busy filling the wheelbarrows. At this point it is helpful to recruit one or two additional crewmembers.
