Cob: Cob ponds?Michael Bowen msb at fullpotentialmassage.comFri Apr 26 12:43:53 CDT 2002
First I would like to say "hello" to the list and let you know that I am psyched to find this cob community! I am currently digging a hole in my yard for a pond and have noticed that the rain fall in the past 2 days has not drained out. I have a very heavy clay soil and was wondering if I could create a cob pond that would last for a while?(really not into spending several hundred dollars on a plastic liner that my dog could puncture-he is 120lb bernese mtn dog that loves the water) I understand that cob will wear a way in a heavy rain situation but was unsure if sitting water would have the same effect? Any ideas are appreciated! Also was wondering what your favorite books for learning cob are? I currently do not own any, but would like to purchase some soon. I am new to list am excited to learn more about the art of cobbing!
