[Cob] cob on earthbag

[ocean]

Well, we're somewhat off topic, although you can build cob on top of 
the earth bags...

BUT I wouldn't cut away the bags, in fact all I've read says you need 
to completely plaster the earthbags with cob/cement/etc to prevent the 
UV from breaking down the polyethylene!  Doesn't sound like you want to 
cut them away...

You can wrap the earthbag foundation with chicken wire, hardware 
clothe, old wire fencing, etc, then plaster it just like you'd plaster 
any cob wall.

Anybody got an earthbag/cob hybrid they want to tell us about here on 
the coblist?
