Cob street/road pavement

[Bob Bolles]

Thank you Pat - (spelling is not one of my strong points)
FYI, the material used is the seed from the plant (tree actually)
(probably why the mice like it)
which becomes sticky when wet, and will attach itself to any little critter
that passes by.

As a hydra-seed ingredient, straw, fertilizer and seed are mixed and
sprayed on fresh-cut excavations.  The stuff sticks to the ground/bank, and
holds together until the seeds sprout and protects against erosion

I am interested in its possible applications - re Pat's floors etc
but particularly interested in the idea that if chopped straw w/physllium
were sprayed on a surface - say, for example, a cob wall, how thick could
it be applied? How stable would it be? Could the surface be plastered?

Lots of questions - minimal answers
keep us posted on the floor, Pat

Thanks to all for the interesting discussions

Bob
