Ecoliving Podcast #5: Straw Bale and Straw Panel Homes, with Viva Homes
With Sustainable House Day happening here at the ecovillage and across Australia in March, we wanted to focus this episode on one type of sustainable house that we have several of here at the ecovillage: a strawbale-insulated home. Straw has been used for insulation for all of human history, but that doesn’t mean that a straw-insulated house has to look or feel like it was made using old technology. The guest for this episode has been involved in building dozens of straw-insulated homes, including a number here at the ecovillage. Sam Vivers is the founder of Viva Homes, and Viva specializes in straw-insulated construction. Viva does both more traditional strawbale construction, and now also builds with their own prefabricated straw-insulated panels that can cut weeks off of the construction time for a sustainable home — and cut a big chunk off the cost as well.

Mushrooms and Mushroom Growing
Pink Oyster Mushrooms from Shed 30 Mushrooms (photo courtesy of Lincoln DeKalb) Want to move beyond fruit and vegetables in your garden? How about mushrooms? Lincoln DeKalb This episode features Lincoln DeKalb, a Narara Ecovillage resident who runs Shed 30 Mushrooms, a small mushroom-growing business based at the ecovillage. Lincoln started cultivating mushrooms at home (and in the forest that surrounds the village), then relatively recently started growing and selling gourmet mushrooms at a larger scale — currently to ecovillage residents, but hopefully one day to the general public. If you're interested in getting started with mushroom-growing yourself, check out these links to things Lincoln mentioned in the episode: Aussie Mushroom Supplies: https://aussiemushroomsupplies.com.au/Urban Culture: https://www.urbankulture.co/Milkwood Mushroom Cultivation Courses: https://www.milkwood.net/category/mushroom-cultivation/Little Acre Mushrooms: https://littleacre.com.au/ And in you're interested in attending Lincoln's workshop at our upcoming Ecovillage Experience Weekend, click this link for more information: https://nararaecovillage.com/narara-ecovillage-experience-weekend-april-2023/ Listen Here:
