Hello Laura!

And welcome! I will keep an eye out for your new book. Water conservation is a topic central to the lives of all people, and demands more discussion ( and action!).

Sure it isn't poison ivy? three leaves..strongly toothed.. fast growing in disturbed areas. Not sure, leaves can be highly variable. More pics always help. Smooth bark though?..

A bit late to the party it seems!

Hello All, Jennifer, Jay, Jean!

I find this thread especially fantastic. I have a familial history with bousillage and tabby construction, and can attest to longevity of its design (one of the oldest structures on the MS gulf coast). Unfortunately that being the case those relatives are long since enterred.  The idea of using these construction methods has accordingly died or been dismissed as pure non-sense. I have a vision to utilize these methods in an effort to create a sustainable identity in this area lacking in such. A means of reclaiming culture and roots of creation. I was hoping for and update on @ Jennifer's project and i Hope the cosmos have seen fit to aid you in you're goals!

As well as anything in the way of Education opportunities on the topic of bousillage/tabby. I find it offers many of the benifits of cob and mitigates for a few draw backs in a wet hot rainy humid environment.
This is a great discussion and there is much to be learned from the information previously mentioned.

Bless

Hey there Don,

I am also on the Gulf Coast, the eastern side of MS. Have yet to purchase land of my own but I  have great enthusiasm to create a more sustainable GCMS, w/ food forest and community gardens as just a couple ways to promote sustainability and foster the human connection. If you need a hand dont hesitate to ask!

Hey!

Im in coastal Mississippi, finding other sustainable individuals in MS is quite a challenge. Its good to see some more folks! Im deciding where i would like to (literally) put my roots. Im of the mindset to enact change in one's neck o' the woods but currently confronted with the delicate balance of acreage vs. community. The questions often grow faster than the plants. Good to hear from you.
