| Et nydelig eksemplar av de mange halmhusene man finner på Hedemarken. På Toten tror jeg ikke det finnes et eneste eksemplar. Kanskje et resultat av de mange bygdedyrene som ikke kom seg over Totenåsen, den gang Tor Jonsson jaget dem ned fra Gudbrandsdalen? Foto: Rolf Jacobsen |

Oh please please translate the picture captions! Are people finally mixing dung into cob? That's the way it was done in the old days... it creates waterproof structures, resistant to mold.
ReplyDeleteDear Vera, happy to see you still sometimes visit my blog!
ReplyDeleteYes, my blog is a mess of Norwegian and English language.
Here is actually used poor cow manure for plastering the walls! Nothing else! I don't remember if they said the manure should be fresh or to first ferment for a while. But what was very important was that the manure was from cattle grazing on natural fields, silage doesn't work. I think this is because of a higher fibre content from natural pasture?
How very cool. Where can I learn more? (I love your blog. Wish I knew Norwegian... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! But your blog is better! My blog is just a small blog giving a few drops only for a better world. Luckily 3 major blogs have entered the scene in Norway the last few years, so I do now have some hope these can play a larger role in shaping the Norwegian opinion.
