this is so untrue.... England specifically and alot of Europe used/use this style and it still lasts! it does take maintenance and keeping water off the walls always helps.Amit Enventres wrote:I live in ohio. People have tried cob here. It's fun to watch it melt slowly over the years because of the moisture here. Cob, like its sister Adobe are meant for dry conditions. Even soil cement, which I experimented with, melts here and it probably would in other wet climates. Cob is ok for indoors here though. I thinki straw bale might be similar because it usually has a breathable cob exterior. How's your supply of pallets?
