Cob: Re: where to get clay and straw

[Theodore Schluenderfritz]

thanks to all who gave suggestions.

I'm in North East PA

I took the sample at the surface (below the grass) 1 foot down and about 
2 feet down

the first test I got a very thin layer of greyish clay

I thought, I'll dig deeper and get more, nope...nothing but fine black 
sand (?) and silt.
