Cob: Foundations on slopes

Sun May 21 21:48:47 CDT 2000

Has anyone here built a foundation for a cob building on a slope?  I was reading in the cob books about rubble-trench foundations, has anyone tried that?  My sister is an architect and tells me that I should be concerned about the foundation slipping gradually downhill.  That's actually my main worry (at the moment).
