This video shows how we test soil for clay content for building with cob and other natural building techniques. This is from several natural building workshops in Spring 2022 at Centro Educativo Suelo Sano in Escamequita, Nicaragua, just south of San Juan del Sur.
If you are planning to live offgrid or just want an ecofriendly, sustainable home, you should definitely consider one of our workshops, where we teach various methods of building with clay, sand and straw: Cob, Rammed Earth, Tapia, Bajareque, Earthen Floors, Light Straw Clay, Quinche, Wattle and Daub and several ways to decorate and plaster with clay and lime.
