[Cob] Wisconsin cob?

[Janet Standeford]

Hi evveryone,
I had a chance to work on some cob that went over straw bales down the 
road and the finish before earth plaster is lime soaked straw, chopped 
fine first. I this how everyone else done this?

First they soaked 8 gal chopped straw for 1/2 hr (when taken out- barely 
dripping) in 10 oz lime plaster to 4 gal water.
Then they mixed 3/4 gal lime plaster slurry with 2 gal clay slurry then 
added 2 gal packed sand and then added the wet straw.
This was mixed in a mixer.
