Earthen floors have been doing their job for thousands of years. They’re warm underfoot, beautiful, durable when properly sealed, and you can make them yourself from what’s right under your nose. They’re also one of the most satisfying natural building projects you can take on: forgiving enough for beginners, with results that make visitors stop and stare.


If you’ve been curious about earthen floors: how to make the mix, how thick to lay it, what to put underneath it, you’ll want to take a look at my How to Make an Earthen Floor ebook. It walks you through the whole process, step by step, from testing your soil to laying and finishing a floor you’ll genuinely love living on.
