[Cob] reinforcement and--oh, heck, boots

[Amanda Peck]

And also, he sent me a little video of a couple of guys stomping cob--and 
yes, they were wearing big rubber boots.  It took a minute.  ;-)

Straw is your main reinforcement in cob.   But there may be room for 
something else that goes vertically, between layers.  It seems pretty hard 
to shove the straw down into the layer below.

It would seem that if cob had layers of mesh that it would reinforce it.
