Cob cob recipeBenton J. Miller and Phyllis Rameriz phillis at itlnet.netMon Aug 11 18:08:47 CDT 1997
<HTML> Hello, <BR>Greetings cob people! We are searching for information regarding the "recipe" for the mixture of our cob. What is the ratio of clay,sand, and straw? We took a soil sample from the land we plan to build on and we are not sure how to test it properly. We put it in a jar and filled with water, but it just looks like a jar of red mud. We are in western Oklahoma and the soil is very red. Down at the creek on the land the mud looked very "clayish". <BR>Anyway, any help would be greetly appreciated. <BR>If we need to purchase clay for the mixture where will we find it that would be close enough to make it financially feasible? I've heard the Austin,Tx. area has good clay soil. Just wondering. <BR>Recipe anyone? <P> Many thanks, <BR> Phyllis and Benton</HTML>
