How to Make a batch of Floor Cob:

First, get 3 five gallon buckets of road base:

Spread them out on your mixing tarp:


Add 1/3 bucket of pure (local) clay, and pick out any organic material like leaves and sticks:

then, spread out the clay and stomp on all the clods, ideally getting all into powder:

Then, start mixing it up, first by tossing in the corners:


then giving it a couple of 'burrito rolls':

Then add water and dance on it to squish the clay around the sand and gravel:



After you get in about 2 or 3 gallons of water (depends on the dryness of the material) add straw, and stomp:

When it all looks mixed together, and everything has a coating of clay on it, call it done:

Toss it into place, stomp it in, and screed it flat. Repeat.
