¶ Grow-a-dome
Index Entry
The idea of the grow-a-dome is one that I’ve had around for many, many years. The idea is to plant and grow a geodesic trellis dome of interwoven live bamboo. Then you let it get overgrown with rather hardy vines like wisteria so that it will survive on the bamboo framework even if the original bamboo dies. And on the inside you just put a dacron tent lining–just as in any of the standard trade-fair domes. . . . This would be very suitable throughout southeast Asia where they might function also like hostels, where people could put up their own tents inside the grow-a-dome.
