[Cob] Curious about the clay

[Damon Howell]

Robert,
	There's no need for going commercial, that's what everybody (or most  
of us) here understand. No offense, but your clay skepticism seems to  
be grounded on lack of knowledge of what the material is. Have you  
been to a workshop or helped someone build with cob? If so, that  
experience itself should have washed away all doubts. But if it  
didn't, maybe you shouldn't go ahead with cob because you will  
constantly be worrying about your building. Finding clay good enough  
for cob isn't hard because it doesn't have to be pure and it doesn't  
have to be much. Here's a rule of thumb: it just has to be sticky.
