[Cob] stabilized earth balls

[Patrick Newberry]

Yes, they were made by hand and they were placed by hand. Yes the stick to the bags as well as to each other, not really any different then if it was plaster.

How are the balls made? by hand? or is a form of some kind used? Maybe plastic
grocery bags? How are they attached to the earthbags?  I have an earthbag foundation I want to cover in the most earth friendly, natural way and wonder if I could cover it with these stabilized earthballs.  Will they attach to the bags by themselves, or do I need some type of binder (like AE)?
