Title: Mud sheds?
Post by: anna on January 15, 2004, 14:27:20

I guess this is a bit flippant, but has anyone ever considered making their own shed out of mud?

Some information on how this could be done is at

Oh a Cob wall,
Watched a barn been restored on tv they were doing the Cob wall, straw and mud very interesting.
If you did it on lottie you would end up with a pool could grow fish insteed oh trout mummmmmmmmm.

I'd love to have a go at this (it's wattle n daub by another name isnt it?) but I reckon the vandals would have it down in minutes...

Maybe could try a small version.  Any excuse to get all dirty  ;D  Mud is almost as good as fire  :D

Great site Anna, cheers for the post...
