Extra
Video: Cob Mixing Basics
A
nice example of mixing cob using a tarp. It's basically mud, a little
water and straw mixed together. Mixing in a tarp makes it easier to get
the level of moisture uniform through the whole mix (you pull up the
sides of the tarp rolling the mix in on itself). Balls of this are
pushed into the walls
of this very small structure. You could build a chook house this way.
