Cob: cow dung flung

[Charmaine R Taylor]

I can give 3 anecdotals (sp?) on dung in cob/earth.
. its also been used in Africa and other countries ( Like UK, etc)  for
centuries to add to the plasters of earth, adds a waterproof abilty,
plus it has  organic fiber from a vegan source. :>

2. Becky Bee, adds dried cow pieces into her cob mix then just stomps
with her feet...for the squeamish probably gloves and  shoe are best...I
have heard of a fingernail fungus that can develop in humans, but
hopefully the cows are healty.

3. Back to Africa A recent Peace Coprs worker I volunteer with locally
was in Africa  for 3 years and confims her hut was platered ( over a
woven reed/wattle wall) with a clay and dung mix, and she did some of it
herself to patch up areas.
