Cob: plasters/chopping straw

Wed Aug 1 14:32:25 CDT 2001

 I ran a lot of straw through a yard debris shredder.  Noisy & messy, but it produced a lot of chopped straw.

Also, I found that for earthen plasters on straw bale, I wanted the chopped straw to be a little longer than you might expect.  I run it through a one inch mesh screen - tossing out what doesn't easily pass through.
