I'm wondering about the roof. How are you going to support it?
With something like this:
Strong large wood beams fixed to the 4 vertical pylons, then covered with pallet plates (dismembered pallets already in place)
Then the plates will be covered with a special impermeable membrane (water resistant) and then on top a level of small rocks, then dirt, then flowers.

Neat! I was wondering the same thing. In high school, I built a small house in the woods with some friends, but we couldn't figure out a functional roof.

Wait for it... I am still testing various ways to put together the beams and learning the best way. If I fail, will try another one :)
I am not afraid of failures. For me failures are a way of learning.
Will keep you updated with the things going on.

See how the bags in the first photo are offset in each layer, so a bag overlaps the gap in the layer below it?
Why are yours in straight columns? That’s far more likely to collapse.

You are right. I had a collapse.
As I said, I learn from my own mistakes.
I know, many people told me to put them overlapped, but I wanted to experience something else and I did it in straight columns. I wanted to have certain amount of columns with a certain amount of levels (21).
Yes, during the winter I had a collapse, a huge step back for me, almost half of the bags were fallen and I had to to put them back, some of them even re-make them entirely because the bags were exposed to sun too much and were damaged.
Now I stuck a long metal bare through all the bags and fixed to the pylons and between the walls. Will never fall down again, not even if somebody will try to make it happen.
No worry the next house will be built with overlapped bags. But I am still not so convinced about its efficiency.
