Building a 5000 cubic metre mound was no easy task and there was a lot to learn. So we captured the highlights to pass on as much of this experience as we could for anyone else looking to undertake something similar.
Because our area is a flood plain, there's been a lot of people building these kinds of solutions, but information about doing so and what's involved is pretty hard to find unless you know someone who works in that space.

About Us:
We're Alex & Sarah, a young couple on the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, who decided to move off grid and leave the city life behind in search of more peace and simplicity. Follow our journey as we share what we learn along the way while building our Fully Off Grid Home & restoring our Overgrown Organic Tea Tree Plantation.
