Finish Earth Plaster to cover interior of cordwood / earthbag structure
Attempt 1
Ingredients:
1500 ml sifted soil, hydrated to a gel/paste like consistency. Gathered subsoil (16 inches deep) from near the well. Hydrated the soil and sifted it using 1/8" screen.
200 ml fresh cow manure. So fresh there was still steam rising off the top. I am told freshness is not necessary, but that composted manure is worthless.
200 ml wheat paste. Added whole wheat flour and cold water in a pan. Stirred together well. Then heated until pasty. Add immediately.
Handful of chopped grass. This particular grass was found above the tent site 10-15 ft short of the property line near the goat fence. Chopped into 1" lenghths. Did not include roots or seed stalks.
