Cob Fibre

[David Paterson]

Can anyone help?

 We are just getting to the stage of beginning our first little cob
project and are lucky enough to have good sources of clay and sand on
site. However with our fibre content we are not sure of this stuff that
we have here in New Zealand that we call hay(long cut and dried summer
grass used for cattle tucker) is any good. People have mentioned
everything from saw dust to pine needles. How far can we push this as in
regards to long term suviability?

Otherwise cob seems like a greatly beneficial time all round.
Invitations are going out for a summer camp'n'cob so anyone in the
vicinity of NZ Dec/Jan and wants to cob by the river send a note.
