		<description>There&#039;s a very good chance you won&#039;t have to buy the clay at all.  Keep searching the internet for how to do a &quot;jar test&quot; on your soil - basically, you shake up some small soil samples in a jar, and the various components of the soil - sand, clay, and organics - will settle out into layers over a couple days.  This gives you a rough idea of how much clay is in the soil, and in most cases there&#039;s enough clay to just use the dirt under your feet mixed with straw and maybe some extra sand. That&#039;s part of the beauty of cob - less to buy, less to haul. </description>
