Cobb Construction
The term cob is used for a monolithic building system based on a mixture of clay, sand and straw, that uses no forms, bricks or wooden framework. Cob-like mixes are also used as plaster filler in several methods of natural building using other materials, such as earth bags, timber frame, cordwood, and straw bales. Cob is one of the simplest and least expensive building techniques available, though typically very labor-intensive. Its other great advantage is its versatility. It can easily be shaped into any form including sculpted benches and fireplaces.
