[Cob] durable clay

[Mary Hooper]

Damon, so glad to read your note about durability of  your clay.
My house sits on clay so pure i can make bricks just by cutting it  
into blocks with a spade and letting it dry in the sun. LOL.
Am thinking of cutting enough to build a low wall around the small  
veggie  garden. Then I can fill in where the clay was with organic  
matter and have a better growing bed. I do wish I was twenty or  
thirty years younger and still up to stoop labor. I'd be working on  
the cob playhouse I started but had to stop when my back gave out.  
But a few solid clay  bricks a day an pretty soon, there's a wall. I  
think. Your post gives me hope.
