sounds easy enough right?

quoted from wikipedia "In Ancient Egypt, according to archeology, straw was mixed with mud in order to produce building bricks. Straw produces stronger bricks that are less likely to break or lose their shape. Modern investigations have found that humic acid is released from straw when mixed with mud, basically a mixture of sand and clay. Humic acid increases clay's plasticity."

I mulch with alfalfa straw and top dress with carbonatite. Plants grow well.
