Cob Code approved cob & Fibrous cement

[suetoddchelceylindsayolivia]

I am interested in where I can find info about this cement/sand/paper blend.  Is it used as structural support?

I'd be interested in Allen Gooch's original email, and I think most

By the way, how does one sign up for the earthfriendly and self
