As far as I know, it's as simple as making a frame for the wall, adding earth (sand, clay, and sometimes cement), then compressing it until the desired height is achieved. The most I've made using this method was an oven used for baking breads. greenhomebuilding.com/rammedearth.htm

Rammed Earth construction, there's another fine topic to be included in Autonopedia. We do have some info on this so it will be considered for a new article or articles in the near future.

Not a lot happening around here it must be said, but this part of Autonopedia has only just been launched so it will take a while before word gets around!!
