Countryside and Small Stock Journal magazine published by jd Belanger had an
article last year or year before on rammed earth construction. In follow up mail
several issues later was a source for a rammed earth brick making machine. The
jist was that the soil must be as free of organic material as possible (just
the opposite of what most people want for gardening) and with a very small clay
content (holds too much water). Sorry but I don't have the address handy. If
interested, just email me.
