Habitat for Humanity: building everlasting homes in Nepal.

Four : one : one
The recipe for the plastering mixture is a simple one ... 4:1:1. Throw these quantities of the ingredients into the mud pit and mix it up by walking in it. Wearing rubber boots or even barefoot.
As with any recipe, the ingredient list is important.
BAREFOOT MIXING
For the plaster mix:
4 parts mud
1 part cow dung, to increase the adhesion
and 1 part minced rice husks, to enhance the mixture
