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!=20
