  • Earthbags were just filled with soil and tamped down. No structural improvement (cement or lime) was added. Documenting so that the hosts of our future earthbag workshop could see what our soil was like.

    According to my research you need 21% clay and 79% sand for wall building. 10% clay and 90% sand for stemwall. 44% clay and 56% sand for plaster. This needs to be tweeked for your climate.

  • What mix did you use earth to clay? Did you put anything else in the bags?
