[Cob] clay for cob construction

[Dulane]

You can call a gravel yard. Most of them take some materials from construction jobs. When construction folks hit clay, they usually aren't very happy about it. I got a dump truck load for $161. That was a few years back. They put me on a list and called me when they had a load. They couldn't believe I really wanted it. I remember seeing several different colors of clay in the river valleys in Oregon.

I may have clay below the two foot level on my property, but it would be worthwhile to have it delivered.  Is there anyone who has a reliable source of clay loam for Cob construction in Corvallis Oregon?
