Spaceman-- they are two different 'minerals' but caliche is so
great that I'd try it if you can use it.
mixing it WITH any local clay will give you a strong binding material.
Mary Miller-- a long time ago PC experimenter sent me a sample of
papercrete with caliche, vs cement, and the dang thing is very strong.
since it is a LIME based material, it will bind well to the AE or
other mixes you try.
go for it and let us know.
melting shingles in diesel fuel at $4. a gallon?
AE is so cheap ( $20. 5 gal bucket) that it might be worth trying both.
BUT also since the tar shingles are just tar- paper base and gravel
why not SOLAR COOK them.. make a crude slider door solar cooker over a
pile of shingles? ( with old PC panels around it. and melt it down
faster with no fuels needed?
even on a small scale you can test it in a big black pot or old drum or similar.
