Cob, cob and onions

I made a window sill using a very rich-straw mix and it is really fun. It is so sculptural to work with, and so sensual, stroking the surface.
The basket is hanging from an olive branch I put into the cob. Handy for bags and coats, near the door. Note the bottle-niche with a wee bit of light coming through!

Most of the final layer in place. I have been digging away at the entrance because it was too high and because I need the earth to build with.

I have put in deep jam jars with lids at table level where I can store pencils and note books, etc.

Here it a meter of onions, strung onto a stick, ready for the store room. Onions grow well here and don't need any watering. Well worth the initial effort.
