How To Make Adobe Bricks

Here we are learning to make adobe bricks that we're hoping to use for several projects (hopefully an outdoor bathroom/shower very soon!). We went with the following recipe, but may change it slightly to make it just a little wetter in the future. The bricks came out just a little "chunky," so I think a little soupier mix might solve that. We may also sift the ingredients in the future to help smooth the bricks out a bit, and we'll make any updates to the process that will help us be more efficient when trying to make mass quantities. A cement mixer is already on our list, as we need about 400 of these for the outdoor shower we're planning!

Recipe:
- 4 parts water
- 2 parts chopped straw
- 7 parts soil (ours is pretty clay-rich)
- 7 parts sand

I think in the next batch we'll try 6 parts of both the soil and sand, which will hopefully make the mix a little less chunky. This would make the ratios as follows: 2 water, 1 straw, 3 soil, 3 sand. We'll let you know how it does in our outdoor bathroom/shower build series. Hope you can stop back to check it out!
