One of the most basic and fun construction technique.
The mix used here was Mud: Straw: Husk (2:1:0.8ish)
Water for a dough like consistency
A few things to look out for:
-moisture content (not too soggy nor too dry)
-reinforcement content (increase straw+ husk proportion as you build higher in order to reduce weight), also try and 'weave' the straw into the wall
-provisions to bind two separate day's work (rebar using bamboo+ rough and moist surface)
-an eye for plumb
-good company :)
-blah blah
