I want to send out a message to all of you interested and experimenting with rammed earth. If you plan to ramm, compact the mixture with mechanical, pneumatic rammers, be carefull: the power of this machines is very strong and the pressure created inside your Formwork will be very high!! formwork must be very very resistent, or you'll spend long time, like we did, trying to fix and reinforce them....

A tutti coloro che intendono fare muri in terra battuta: se battete con martelli pneumatici o meccanici: fate attenzione alle casseformi, devono essere MOLTO MOLTO resistenti e ben studiate. altrimenti, come noi, perderete moltissimo tempo a rinforzarle e raddrizzarle.
