[Cob] Waterproofing with prickly pears (Jill)

[Jill Hogan]

Hi Mitch,
Fermenting is what you want. The chopped leaves sit in water for three weeks and brew become quite ripe and glutenous and that is what you paint on with a paint roller.

  Jill:

  Regarding a topic on prickly pears that you posted more than a week ago, I live in an area with many such plants, so making a “water resistant” mixture like you suggest is feasible. However, I would have thought that any organic material (such as chopped prickly pear leaves) sitting in water for several weeks would ferment. How do you keep the liquid from spoiling?

  Ma’a salama.

  Mitch
