[Cob] Strawbale/Earthbag Foundation

[Patrick Newberry]

I have one wall that has an earth bag foundation as well as earth bag
walls at either side and inbetween it's a strawbale wall. Gosh it's been
a long time, but

Here I just stacked them for a photo opp but obviously this is not how
they were stacked when before I plasted. It does give a nice photo of
the walls on either side.

It's a little hard to see, but on the right of this picture you see the
bales as placed after plastering.

Hi,
 
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience/suggestions connecting
earthbag foundations to wooden posts and to strawbale walls.
 
I'd really appreciate any input anyone has.
 
Thanks,
 
Evan
