[Cob] Natural Builder -animals to troddirtcheapbuilder-Charmaine Taylor tms at northcoast.comSat May 6 18:48:39 CDT 2006
there are several records of cattle or horses trodding and mixing clay-straw to make cob, and the people pitchforking it onto walls. One historical record I read: an accountant for a wealthy landholder visited some farms purchased and reported back that the people there used this method.. of course the droppings are good for plaster, and cob too. having them walk around on a grain mill grinding track was prolly the start, so toss in some clay for them to stomp and the animals are doing two jobs at once.
