Testing Soil for Durable Compressed Earth Blocks

In this video, we continue tweaking the soil, sand, and clay ratios to perfect our compressed earth blocks. The right amount of water has been tricky to figure out, and the sandy soil on our land tends to crumble easily. To improve the mix, we sourced two different clay-rich soils—one from a local stockyard and another from our friend Mark. It’s been a long road, and we're still far from perfecting the mix, but we're making progress! Follow along as we share the challenges and small victories in our journey to build with compressed earth blocks. #arizonadesert #earthblock #rammedearth
