Cob: Lime over cob/adobe/-resource articles

[Charmaine R Taylor]

Hi Mattthew...yes the NHL rep here said the same thing...on the 
compressive numbers, there was a UK co, a while back but they are not 
importing to the US after all ,so we  on this side of the big waters 
could not get it easily, or at all.

now this hydraulic lime seems ideal for some purposes, such as the 
marine or highly wet envions you described.
thanks for  the info I am always collecting data on lime use ( gee, 
somebody has to)


he also showed samples of layers of lime mortar/plaster over strawbale, 
wire mesh, clay- but using such expensive lime when out own limes at 
one-fifth  the cost does ot make sense, except where conditions require 
it. ( thrift rules)
