[Cob] cob raised beds?

[Amanda Peck]

That sounds wonderful.  We've got ledge stone here, but the pieces tend to 
be huge and heavy beyond belief.  People do move them--I was in a restaurant 
at noon where the steps between two of the dining rooms were some huge 
stones--4-6 inches thick--the largest over 5 square feet, in different 
colors.

You're right, might even be a little easier than a rock foundation, no 
worse, certainly.  And gorgeous.  At raised bed size, and a bit thinner, 
they wouldn't be too dreadful to move.

Cat here,  In my area there are many cut stone.  I have collected them
    for years and have made my raised beds from these.  In areas that do
    not have the cut variety there may be stone available to dry stack.
    It takes some doing to dry stack but it looks beautiful.  It's about
    the same as doing the foundation to your cob only not as wide.  When I
    lived in CA the mexican workers were very talented building these.
    The paths between the beds can be done of sand and lime it makes for
    less weeding.
    for the good of all C.
