The tires are very toxic and so are the bottles. Bad idea.

Looks like an upside down trash can. Hopefully it’s disposed of before the bottles rot and blow away into the watershed with all that tire exudate.

Horrible idea. UV sunlight will break those bottles down in a few years at most, leaving microplastics in the soil.
It is useless as a real gh because the huge gaps will provide no insulation at night
Honestly seems like more harm than good

disregarding the fact that the bottles are plastic that is specifically NOT made for these purposes, what happens when you get like a tiny gust of wind? lol.
Also there’s nearly no structural support against racking. You need a truss design on your framed walls without OBS (plywood) or that shit will fall over like a silent film gag. Cementing the posts will work as a truss but who knows what the hell they did here. and why is so short at one end lol

Interesting idea but the labor cost would not be worth it. You can buy enough greenhouse poly to wrap the sides for like $25. Plus everything else that’s been said about the bottles degrading quickly.

Why not use glass bottles if available and figure a way to bind them together

At a nickel per bottle…

It’s not that hard to cut glass bottles in half and mud them in instead, Earthship style

Tires! The key to healthy compost!

If you drink that much soda, you will have other problems 🤣

I think you should examine your soda intake

It would be a challenge for me to collect this many 2 L bottles unless I went to clean up the ocean island I don’t drink soda like this

That is cool. I think glass is better for reasons of microplastics and long term durability.
