Rammed Earth Wall, Part I

I build a garden wall out of rammed earth.... note this is NOT stabilized rammed earth. No cement is used

I'm in Reno, Nevada and getting ready to do this very thing! Looks fantastic and I appreciate your posting your video! Blessings and Strength to You!! I have a Hydraform Block machine that I will be making compressed earth block to build the wall system. I will also be trying a section of Earthship Biotecture tire wall with...

Gonna be using rammed earth for my buildings on my ranch. Thx for the video

As the wall construction method continued, i wondered about the likelihood of physical wear and tear on a person's joints. As efficient as this combination might be, there is a potential down side to it. Yes, i agree that there is a "feel good" benefit to this method of self-sufficiency, but there is always a price to be paid for everything. Enjoyed watching your construction method and your enthusiasm.

freakin awesome video. thank you.

Dont worry cracks man, you will fix. Enjoy

I wonder, since its not stabilized, if you should leave the forms on overnight to ensure rigidity and possibly reduce the damage caused my accidents (corner). Great video and thanks for sharing. I think there are also gloves you can buy that reduce the vibrational impact of ramming and I would agree, lift, drive down but let fall.

I am learning from you. I want to do a fence around 2 acres of land

[@NoirHammer]

Now this is what I would call proper rammed earth because you left out the toxic cement. However, I'm thinking some hempcrete would help to stabilize these walls or perhaps volcanic ash, if available, to mimic what the Romans did. Thumbs up!

[@priestesslucy3299]

So how do you connect the two wall segments? I didn't see it explained anywhere...

[@Daffodil956]

Beautiful.Can you suggest what's need to be done to resist earthquakes,like a normal building.

[@keywestalert6329]

You could of added lime and maybe gypsum. Clay is nice for it as well

[@carsonc4134]

What’s the max recommended height for a rammed earth wall? For instance if the form was 10 feet high, how would you be able to tamp it down when it’s so deep?

[@abdellahilaamiar7152]

you did terrific job, if punlish an PDF pleaze let me to know. thank again.

[@lkhbhydroponic6858]

Awesome experiment what if you let the form stay over night would it be better ?

[@Ootabaavicinema]

Hi..thank you for sharing your knowledge and your experience. I want to construct stabilized rammed earth foundation for my earth bag square house at our farm. Already I have excavated for foundation for 36 inches depth and 28 inches wide . Hope my foundation works well. Is My idea ok sir?

[@soundsofmicronesia2587]

How come you used a little cement with wall?

[@ericfermin8347]

Last a thousand years? You damaged it in the first 5 minutes.
