Finally the day we have been waiting for! It is time to get our feet muddy and make plaster with 100 % natural ingredients.

In this video I will be sharing how my partner and I are creating beautiful walls with just a few simple ingredients, found anywhere on earth.

Here are the exact proportions of the earthen plaster we make in this video:

8 buckets of dry sand
5 buckets of (clay-ish) dirt, soaked in fermented prickly pear juice
1 bucket of horse manure, also soaked in prickly pear juice
3 buckets of finely chopped straw
