Earth blocks

Here's a photo of the earth blocks our guys are making for the Guest House wall.  The bulk of the blocks  is clay from our property. We add some sand and a little cement (as a binder).  This is the most economical and ecological solution.  The drying process is a little tricky but we'll keep at it.

Earth bricks


The guys are making earth bricks from clay and sand which will be used for a construction project. We have a hand-operated hydraulic press from Belgium and can produce 300 blocks a day. The cost of cement has gone through the roof so making these is smart and economical.
