Love it! It looks like a little hobbit house.

I had plans to build a root cellar this summer. As badly as I need one, it seems to have gotten pushed to the back of a long list of to-dos. My brother had given me a load of cinderblocks, which I left sitting on my Dad's farm where my brother had stacked them. I came out to feed the horses one day and they were gone! I should have known better--he probably forgot about me and gave them to someone else. Will have to look into these earth bags...

v....you could always plant it with wild flowers instead of grass.
