Bio dome ?
« on: November 20, 2011, 02:15:58 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has any info on the Eden bio dome . I am considering building some thing like this to grow food year round . I've never done anything like this so all info would be great like coast to operate and build. This looks like a good way to start but I'm not sure if it's a gimmick.yalls help would be great fully appreciated. I live in Alabama if that helps on what would be the smart thing for me to try.

I wonder what wind load it can stand before rolling over.

Domes generally can handle alot more wind than a normal structure. There is alot of good info on the net. You just need to be able to wade thru it all.

Geodesic domes were big in the 70s. Mother Earth news had a few articles but there have been construction plans and use articles available often. As Shu said, just search and dig a little. ear
