[Cob] Straw's Out. How About Palm Leaves?

Any string fibrous material will work so long as it does not cut up your feet too bad. I would try running the palm fronds through a chipper shreader so that they will mix well with the cob.

Hi; 
I've tried to source grain stalks of any kind and the nearest source is 200 Km away. So I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with using palm fronds. They're very sturdy but they don't have a cylindrical structure like straw. I could experiment, of course, but I was wondering... 
Thanks, 
beno
