As usual, nature is not always as idyllic as we would like.

  1. A very tiny village in the center of Vancouver Island, B.C. had a store with a turf roof. Goats grazed on it, the owners walked on it and all this could be seen from the road. It became a tourist destination for decades. Last time we drove there, it was gone. I’m sure it was one of a kind—the owners may have died or became to old to maintain it.

    LOLOL!
    in the pioneer days here… after the land run…
    people lived in sod huts partially underground. the roofs were always turf.
    while visiting the museum in Clinton they had a replica of a sod hut.
    dirt floor packed so tight it looked like brown linoleum. we were fascinated.
    a very old lady stood there as we were discussing it.
    she turned out to be the great grand daughter of a couple who lived in a real one.
    she said they had to hang a sheet over the ceiling because often a rattle snake would drop down and the sheet would catch it.
    OMG! take me back to the EAST on the next stage coach!!!

    I wouldn’t want a turf roof on my house but I’ve seen something similar on top of a garden shed that was very cool!
