Cob Cottage Restoration
Built from a mixture of wet clay, reinforced with dung and tussock. When I asked the DOC ranger if he was using cow dung, he told me he wasn't. "The recipe's a secret," he said, "known only to me and the brotherhood." He has an old sheet over the wet mixture to try to slow down the drying process in the hot sun. "It's almost too hot for us Pakeha boys to work," he said.
