Kim,
the simple answer is for you to do a few experimental pieces. Lime is
mainly used for stabilizin rammed earth, not for cob. A good clay soil
properly prepared and mixed will dry hard like a rock. But, the answer
for you is to simply make a few test pieces. This is what the
professions do, and adjust the mixture accordingly.
