“Hello Owen, We’re excited to announce a new venture to produce structural masonry from diverted excavation right at the building site. Rather than haul off the excavation then import building materials, we think it makes sense to repurpose the waste material into building materials used right at the construction site.

Ingenious New Building Method Replaces Concrete Block with Rammed Earth
This may be the biggest story of the year. I just found out more information about the clay masonry blocks we reported on the other day. It turns out they were invented by rammed earth expert David Easton, and the blocks are already for sale in northern California in the San Francisco area. That means the development of Watershed Materials earth blocks are much farther along than I realized. This is VERY good news for natural builders and so I will do additional blog posts on this subject. Today’s blog post is about David Easton’s new home that’s made with these clay blocks.
