I whipped up a new post for my new blogging job at Green Options, which can be found at Green Building Elements: Natural Building 101: Building an Eco-Friendly Cob House.
This is a sort of introduction to cob building for anyone unfamiliar with the technique. Please check it out!
Hi there, I’m Ziggy. In 2008, I launched The Year of Mud while building my first natural home. This website is a collection of personal stories and experiences building with clay, straw, and wood over the past 15+ years. A few of the things that get me fired up are natural plasters, timber framing, & Japanese architecture. In 2012, we started offering Natural Building Workshops, so you can learn essential hands-on skills to build your own natural home.
