Some update news and photos.
Early September my area of NZ was hit by a 7.4 followed 3 sec later by a separate 7.1 shallow earthquake 15km to south of the first one,luckily i live 100km to the north of the quakes center because i dont know how my stone tunnelhouse would have handled that kind of shake.
I used truck loads of reinforcement when i was building it just for this reason and thank goodness i did because there's not a crack to be seen.
Here's how it looks as of yesterday,first tomatoes are just starting,the outside ones have fruit thanks to starting them off in here.
Back end view,you can see how its set in the ground when you compare the front and back shots
The native grass that i planted down the sides has really matured in the last year and its this that acts like a blanket over the earth which i added to the outside of the walls.
