Earth blocks. No, not cob blocks….these blocks do not contain straw. Hydraulically pressed in one of our hired machines. #selfbuild #newbuild #makeyourown #naturalmaterials #sustainablematerials

Hydraulically pressed cob blocks. 125mm - specifically designed to be laid on their edge, means that only 12 are required per square metre #cob #naturalmaterials #SustainableDesign #sustainable #EcoFriendly
