Cob: commercial clay

[Dulane]

In Seattle I have found several sources of commercial clay. And I intend to
use them as soon as I am ready. They are listed below. I myself cannot
justify digging 4 ft. deep on my property to find the clay that I know is
there geologically. Sometimes it occurs in shallower areas, even here. (My
construction spot is in a garden area of silt-rich soil.)

Idaho has several rich supplies of kaolin
email me if interested, they are all south of Cour d' Alene
