3 Easy Soil Tests for Making Good Cob - Testing Soil for Cob Building
so your neighbor leeches all the fertility off your land, depleting it. your wasting time and money turning your land slowly into desert. the only way to bring major fertility to the ground is to allow animals to graze down the land at least once a year. this gets rid of plant growth that takes too long to degrade back into the soil. it also mulches the land so the amount of carrying capacity for plants on the land reduces. reduced productivity slows fertile soil growth. if the dead plant matter is allowed to constantly build up without being eaten then it builds up and up and up over time. the harvesting of hay from your land is just depleting the nutrients in soil and never returning it like it would return via animal droppings. you should let the animals do the work for you so your not wasting your time push mowing every 2 weeks.
I subscribe to alot of channels; i get like 30 notifications a day. i ignore most - but if This Cob House pops up? i click. youre a big inspiration Alex. thanks
Thank you! I appreciate that!
I am getting close to zeroing on raw land... I appreciate your perspective. I have kept hens in the past, (I had been gifted a high end boy's fort, which was easily converted into a luxury coup. I had five hens, and I loved keeping hens. I lost three hens, over about 18 months, to a strange neurological condition. I considered each hen a member of the family, and it was hard losing them. I even nursed the hens, keeping them inside during the night. I agree, even hens is a major commitment; and most people do not realize that you cannot just leave hens to their own care. That's why so many chickens end up meeting their demise in one way or another. but hens are one of the hardest working farm animals, so they are worth it. I had the idea of creating 'Chicken Tenders', ie. neighbors participating in the daily care when the homesteader is away. The willing neighbor must be fully vetted, as it takes very little neglect to lose a hen. Just a couple of thoughts. I would also encourage anyone to learn basic food preservation techniques, like brining, fermenting, dehydrating and canning. I have considered starting with 1 - 3 hens(already have a free source, actually), and I would likely coup them inside, in converted dog crates. Easy morning clean-up with paper taken out to compost piles or new building beds.
Looking for this video! Yes!
Where do you get your lime from? I am in Tennessee and would love to do a bulk buy. Having a hard time finding it.
Sir. I am watching your videos from long time. And I am enjoying alot. My question Is , Can we built 9" ( Inches ) cob house walls ?
How much would u charge to build a cob house that 3 bedroom. I am looking for a builder and a serious one.
How do i know what Clay i use in My region ? Is it the same they ate making pots of it ?
You've got to see this ! PRIMITIVE SKILLS; Build Stone House - BUILD LOG CABIN with many stones in the mountain He worked solo. Forged his own metal tools. Made his own concrete. And did the roof himself ! omg! ua-cam.com/video/81l6WRKn4a4/v-deo.html
I'm hoping to build a strawbale style with timber framing. Have you covered this before?
Thanks so much Alex! I’m wanting to get started. How to find the right kind of clay in Florida?
To hell with wood and metal frames, I'm going sillicon.

For airflow I'm interested in how they build the cob structures in Turkey/Jordan. They have high towers with lots of holes in them... I'm wondering if there's structural aspects that could be designed to be more efficient structural way perhaps? I'm interested because I'm going to a cob workshop in September close to where I am in the interior of BC Canada and would like to one day build my home. -building orientation, window placement/amount of windows, overhang, use of vegetation for shade, thickness of walls, size of structure, cob/straw etc that factor too in consideration of temperature regulation.
I past one of our common buildings I think it's a medical insurance bldg. Two square planter boxes out front about (2) 2 ft cubes. They're just in front of the entrance. There's no load stresses on them they're made of 1-2 in. Concrete light tan color. Both severely cracked all over. And I'm just going wow. Glad it's not my home that I paid for. I mean they're not going to get them out in one piece and look fairly new.
Thanks to Tal for conducting this interview! You can follow his new channel @new_era_building
After u dig the soil out to build the cob house what do u do about the hole that’s left over in the area that u dug out from
Sometimes the soil is dug from where you dig the foundation footers or foundation ground leveling. If you just dig a hole somewhere for soil, you'll just be left with a hole though.
I hope you know how much I appreciate these videos and learning from you. You’ve given me hope that I can own a home someday. I’m working towards it
Im just typing in Google: "How to install Windows on Next Cube" ...
I heard about mixing latex paint into ferro-cement and then painting ferro-cement with latex to make it more water proof. Have you tried latex paint in the water for cob?
Came here from a linux video
Welcome! lol
This was great - thank you! For the weathering tape on the outside do you put cob directly over it?
I'll actually be putting wood window trim over the tape in this case. Or, you could put metal plaster lathe over it and plaster over it all instead.
I just wanted to thank you for your channel and videos. I'm dreaming of someday having land for a cob house. I'm so grateful I have these resources available to me, even if it will be years before I can make that dream a reality.
Same here❤ even though I'm a woman.. not sure I could do it alone .. but, I would try and I love knowing about it.
Can rammed earth be used with rebar for earthquake resistance?
Top down persuasion😋
I just moved to rural Tennessee and this is what I hope to get to. I'm living in an RV to save and get some land. Thanks for your channel. It's a wealth of information.
Thank you. I understand that to much thermal mass is not helping keeping heat out of the house because the thermal mass will take on to much heat if the hot wheather continues for weeks. I understand that it would be better to have highly isolated walls and make some of the interrior inside walls between the rooms in cob, only;. What do you think ?
Mr. Cob . Really nice and stunning information about failure of the conversation. I really starts loving you ❤
Mr. Cob . Sir. I have almost Summer with temperature 38 to 45 degree most of the year almost 9 months. No snow. Low rain. In winters temp not less then 10 only for few days. Mostly we have 20 to 10. So what kind of Insulation we need for Cob walls ?
No plumbing pipes?
13,000 Migrants crossed the Border of Canada to NY yesterday. And Hey ! I bet they're gonna need some work. 13,000 assistants that ought to help mix up some COB. huh ?!

Can you build a cob house in a cold climates?
Thanks for information about Cob and Straw wall or house thermal.
Mr. Cob House . You must have nice and strong " Triceps "
Beautiful video and stunning information. Thanks . Mr. Cob House
Sir. I have 40 to 45 degree in Summer ( 8 months ) and in winter 10 to 18 degree ( 4 months ) No snow . So what kind of foundation I chose?
do you have any plans to build a straw clay or hempcrete wall where the framing is surrounded by the infill? As opposed to between. Idea being that surrounding the framing will get rid of the thermal bridging from the frames. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
I can look into that! I've been wanting to see how that's done. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks so much for all your videos!! Quick question; would it be a valuable path the build cobs walls around XPS foam sheets (example 12 inches of cob, then 4 inches of XPS foam, then another 12 inches of cob)? We are thinking this would be the best of both worlds; temperature regulation for the exterior and interior portions, with a slowing effect on the temperature transfer.

Nice video! Would it be possible for you to make a similar video that illustrates the cobbauge system? It would be really nice to have thermal mass + insulation combined.
Thank you for this information any and all information is greatly appreciated. I do have a question.? Has anyone been involved with a build , or been inside a cob/ s,bale home with a Rocket mass heater in it .? What was the result if so.?? Very curious for a possible build in the future.😊
Hemp blocks
Thank you for all your videos. I wondered why not do straw/clay on the north side and cob for the rest of the walls ? And for extreme heat here in the south of France, would you rather insulate or have more thermal mass ? Best Regards, Raymond
Cob is cooling, straw acts like a blanket.
Thank you and for all these videos, they are so helpful. Lots of people say that when we have heatwaves that are lasting, 2 weeks and unlike in the desert areas, the temperatures does NOT fall at night, it wouid be better to build a clayslip woodchip (or straw) house than a cob house. What is your opinion and experience about this ? Best Regards, Raymond (living in the south of France)
My dream!
I'm curious about the concrete beam. One of the key ways that old cob houses get destroyed in the UK and Ireland is when people put non-breathable renders on them, since the moisture gets trapped inside the cob and eventually leads to collapse. Would the concrete on top of the walls not reduce the breathability of the cob? Should this technique be avoided in wetter climates?
The cob breaths out the exposed sides, just like it does on top of the foundation.
