RE: [papercreters] New Member Intro

I think you might have things starting to grow in your wall as manure is great plant food.

<< Manure dries to a fine and compactable powder. That would make a great wall this year but most years, the water table here is just a little bit more than 2' so I'm thinking that, as available as it is, I'd better stick to the sand.

 

I’m not understanding why you can’t use the manure in your bags.  If you add just a bit of cement (like 10/1) to the sand & manure mix, pack your bags, stack a row then spray them with water seems like it’d make the cement set up and your bags would be more stable than without the cement and lighter than with straight sand.  I don’t think I’d use the bags with manure in them on the bottom course or two but if you’re going to stucco the wall and cover/protect the bags I don’t see why you couldn’t use
