Biography
We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

I wonder if the book the OP referred to is “Straw Bale Gardens" by Joel Karsten?
Crimson clover and daikon radish will help until you are able, maybe next fall?

Looking forward to pictures.
Ten years later it might be fun to add your location on the Permies World Wide Map ...

Yes, anyone can add themselves today to make the map current.  Have you added your location?

Very interesting to see where everyone was back then at least for the folks that added themselves to the map.

Here is the thread that goes with the map:

Timothy, that is a great explanation and that makes it easy to know when to use which.

My dogs have always loved any food I give them.

As far as I know from experience all Dachshunds are on a See Food Diet.

If they see it they eat it.

Our newest one loves carrots, the store bought kind because I have never been able to grow carrots.

Just curious, why would an outhouse need electricity?

If I were building an outhouse especially the Taj Mahal of outhouses, I would follow the design of the willow feeder:

chateau de poo https://permies.com/t/25481
willow bank https://permies.com/t/47814
willowonka https://permies.com/t/65018

And if other guests were using the Taj Mahal outhouse I would need signs like the one in this thread:

The video is not about cob, instead the video is about adobe, adobe bricks.  

I do not have sound on my computer so I can only guess.

The video shows that it cost 0.03 cents a brick for adobe bricks.

Th video shows that there is no a/c and I bet they are talking off grid.

Maybe there are no door or windows?  No plumbing, solar, etc.

It might be banned in California though it is certainly not banned where I live in Texas ....

Nicole said, Having your mask broken "on accident" sounds terrible.



Maybe that mask needed a few more layer of paper. Or maybe the final layer could be cloth.

Maybe this will help:
