The Private Mud Home Facebook Group for Mud and Lime Lovers

Picture
Back in 2017 I started the Mud Home Facebook Group for mud and lime lovers, tiny off-gridders, and earthbaggers alike. It turned into a surprising lovely (I generally hate social media) and very different kind of Facebook experience. I was lucky. A bunch of gracious, supportive, brave, and sometimes very knowlegable people joined. We created a space for experimentation, sharing, learning and support.

Unlike a lot of the larger public forums which can prove a bit of a free-for-all, the Mud Home private FB group is a safe space with very limited numbers of members. I keep it that way for a reason. I want genuine community. There's a big difference between free advice/comments from strangers (some of which can be completely misinformed), and someone with over a decade of experience who knows the whole story of your build, and cares about the outcome.

How to join?
These days the Mud Home Facebook Group only opens its doors at certain times of the year. Currently only Mud Home course participants can purchase access to it.
