The clay soil I have here in SW Arizona is fine and works great for papercrete. I have made blocks with cement and clay and the only difference is that the mix with cement dries faster. They both absorb water to an equal degree. If you have access to clay I would recommend using it instead of cement in the mix. Much cheaper as well as much greener. Some of the newbies that have cropped up on the site lately seem to be bent on reinventing the wheel. There is tons of information in the archives of this site and much to be learned from the experiments and results of others.
