What about plumbing? A. >Natural Plaster, (from Robert LaPorte's Moose Prints) > >Rough Coat: > 1 part creamy clay slip (from site or mixed water and clay) > 2 parts medium sand > 1/2 part fiber (chopped straw) > What about dried blood or lime (type-n) I willl more than likely use the recipe on at least of the walls as I would rather not have to buy anything unless It really makes a significant difference.
