root cellar building materials

Hi all, I'm new to the site and am excited to learn and share all sorts of information with you all!

here's what i'm thinking for my root cellar:

first i won't use concrete blocks or poured concrete
second i want to minimize the use of any concrete

i have plenty of stone in and on the ground to use but have also thought about using earthbags. i'd like to put a roof on it that would create a small studio space on top....

i'm just looking for some advice and thoughts
all are appreciated!

peace

If you have some good stone to use, then build with it, either dry lay or a lime mortar mix will give you some solid walls that should last a 100+ YEARS, if off course, you have to have a proper footings and drainage.

You could used earth rammed tires such as the one on earthships. They would be very solid walls.
