Cob: winter work on wattle and daub by a neophyte

[Amanda Peck]

You may have to ORDER your lime.  You want hydrated lime, not the crushed 
limestone that the Co-op has.  I've occasionally found small quantities of 
hydrated lime in hardware stores (to quickly quickly quickly de-acidify your 
soil--buck a pound in two pound bags) or in grocery stores (pickling 
lime--probably even more).  There's supposed to be a place in Memphis that 
still carries it, so if you're not too far from, say Mayfield, that might 
work.  I need to find the name of that place again, and call them (I'm in 
Tennessee, near the Alabama border). The big lime plants will sell you 
small--for them, like 40 pounds--quantities.  I expect shipping is 
exhorbitant.

You're brave.  I'm headed into my third winter in a travel trailer on my 
land.

Ruth Datooth (aka Anna) wanted to know about lime, so she can get her house 
more or less organized before winter.
