Is it the rubber that smells?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

no, the tires are well sealed behind adobe. The smell is from the huge amount of super healthy wet soil all along the windows, its the primary thermal sink for the passive solar and there is a LOT of it. IIRC, the guide said there was about 10 cubic yards in the planters, which is a standard dump truck.
