“Rather than laboriously tossing clay slip with straw by hand to make light clay straw for finishing the stuffing of the bale walls, we used this mixer to speed up the process. We could mix large batches of light clay straw in a short amount of time as well as maintain a consistent amount of clay and moisture on the straw.
Two people load the mixer at one end with straw and clay slip. The clay slip gets mixed beforehand in buckets. It is a combination of water and either bagged clay or soil with a certain clay content.
The long barrel of the mixer is sloped downwards away from the end that gets loaded, and the straw and clay slip are tossed together as they move down the length of the mixer.”

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers? I’d
definitely appreciate it.
Sorry, our blog has been acting up the last two weeks. We’re trying to get it fixed.
Advice for blog writers? I’d say keep posts relatively short and to the point, and fairly frequent (daily is good). Always be searching and thinking of interesting topics. Don’t be afraid to delete spammers.
My brother recommended I might like this website.
He was totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much
time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
This is a topic that is close to my heart… Take care! Where are your contact
details though?
Our email addresses are at the top of the page.
Earthbag Building Blog was a good read
All the best Chad
That’s a good idea. One could use an old washing machine motor to power it.
