Cob Use of cob to construct a greywater systemDarlene_Conway at trca.on.ca Darlene_Conway at trca.on.caMon Feb 22 10:03:51 CST 1999
I am designing a greywater system for a friend along the lines of Michael Reynolds' Earthship system. I was ready to consider the use of cement with pop cans until I found out about cob last summer. I would much prefer to avoid the high embodied energy of aluminum cans and cement and go with cob instead. With a water-tight lining, I am wondering if cob would do the trick just as well. Any comments or suggestions out there? Thanks.
