Making a cob bench
Here we are found making a cob bench. What is cob?
Final stage, we wait for the cob to dry. Then we apply the final wheat paste plaster to protect the cob from eroding in the rain.
Cob is just one of the techniques employed in the practice of Permaculture. Check out Ken’s Permaculture tour for more information.

I’m a student in South Africa learning about sustainable techniques, hopefully aiding major housing probs here, do you have any advice regarding general cob use and any knowledge of waterproofing regarding organic materials?
Your advice would be appreciated.
