We will show the step by step process of making your own mud bricks. đĄ
Mud, as opposed to the popular view, is not a good insulator. We live in a mud house with 18" thick walls, which provides a high thermal mass and helps with temperature extremes we get during the day (cold nights, hot days) where we are. The bricks we make are 12" (instead of a 9" red brick). Mud is a very forgiving medium to construct with, and when you make any changes to the structure ... you don't create any debris or rubble ... you can just reuse the mud!
This is how we make the bricks.

No sand to the mix ?
music was awesome
Awesome đđ
how long to dry
was this soil sand based, clay full, or regular garden loam like soil, dirt, sand all mixed into the earth?
My autistic son finally accepts that dirt and water makes mud - thank you!
He was absolutely fascinated by the fact that you can make bricks from it as well.
We really appreciate your video.

Hey same! As an autistic Person I gotta make a village siitakkeita for autistic people in the woods! And Idk start a nation or you know a micronation. A micronation is a nation that is a country not recognized by the UN. Examples are: Molossia, Principality of sealand, Transnistria and more.
But Thanks for the brick tutorial
Now I truly belive that mud can be used as bricks.
â@@lucas_A_Conway a year late but as a historian with an interest in geopolitics:
Nation, State and country all have distinct and specialised meanings: Nation is a people/territory with shared culture, ethnicity and language (think entire island of Ireland) , A country is a distinct territorial area or political entity (think England), A state is an independent country ruling over itself and usually internationally recognized (think United Kingdom of Great Britain)
Micronations are not nations unrecognised by UN because Taiwan is great example it's an unrecognised nation of 23+M but it is not a micronation.
A micronation is a misnomer (name that does not suit what it refers to) but it's a self proclaimed country ran by small group of people who have a small piece of land and claim it's supposed sovereignty despite it's obvious dependence on outside world and often being inside another recognised state.
Friends, you are looking at one of the oldest building practices in all of human civilization. Worked well five thousand years ago, and can still be useful even in the 21st century.
Can you build a house out of it and if yes what happens to it if it rains
@@kl4006 the brick solidifies, doesn't fail during rains. It's very efficient
It isn't efficient. in most places you can't use bricks like this for a reason.
They wear down quickly. A few decades, and the adobe brick walls start cracking, etc. and the house will fall. Also, it gets wet quickly. Oh, and I haven't mentionted mice and rats. They love these.
@@jacintbenkovics5502 it becomes stronger if you cook it with fire. Not as strong as concrete but a good alternative cost wise
@@rocklee1764 i have 2 tribes outside rock lee and j.b. that is helpful
Got it!

Crap.
Snow bricks

Frozen bricks balala
This is what I needed plz do a full video on construction process too so that ppl will get encouraged to go for a mud house

Come to DAV ..they are teaching how to make mud bricks as project ....
Also fire it so it become 10x stonger
Boss: I'm sorry but we're going to have to fire you.
Mud brick: it's ok boss, this will only make me stronger.
@@dicemonger6270 mud brick only need sun and clay brick need fire
y do people dislike the video? its home made brick..
I know. It's Awesome.
probably cause they couldnt see the end or what to do next, plus whatever words were there were covered by the video suggestions placed at the end, an incomplete video. ~obey Jesus to enter Heaven~
You know whats its called
"*ITS FREE REAL ESTATE*"
@@romuloaycardo5961 You are rightđđ€
Because they didn't have the patience on building there 5000 bricks and there house collapsed
Wow....my house is made of mud ..its very old house now...its 140 years old...and has no crack anywhere!!!My walls are almost 70 cm thick!!!
I really do know what I'm doing this summer.
Ok make sure to heat it because it will hold longer
Did you?
@@sandgrains3418 No lol, let's try for next year.
@@Kraffff I wish you success and a happy year
â@@Kraffffyo it's been a year
Awesome work and thanks for sharing!
Here in Kerala, it's difficult and costly to procure a compressed earth block (CEB) press (like the Mardini MB-2 out of Karnataka or the TARA Balram-MI out of New Delhi; so we're leaning towards earthbag and adobe for constructing a small Secure Storage / Seedbank / Storm Shelter. I like the dome roofs with the earthbags too!
ECHO community has a great article on building Earthbag Seed Banks.
The house build from this bricks is very healthy, it will be cool in Hot season, warm in cold (winter and rainy) season.
The big problem is Mouse, Mice. size of the wall is large width, i.e. minimum 18 inches. Ground and first floor may be constructed, not more than that.
Plaster must be from this type clay which requires maintenance with interval of 5-8 years. Cement and sand plaster may be made with help of nails but plaster life is 15-18 years, after that remove plaster and once again make plaster.
But any it is environment friendly bricks and home no wastage which can be reused.
In kannada language (Karnataka one of the State of Union of India), the soil is called as "HALU MANNU" (HALU name or type of soil, MANNU means soil.)
We use it in my country . Yemen
@Sabah Zarid namaskara đ, HALU-MANNU means a variety of soil (mud), noto halu =milk. In variety of mud, halu, lu pronounciation is differrent from milk but in english use same alphabets for both.
Lu= àČČàł, Lu=àČłàł
@@user-rd4qk6nz8i Please, "I want to know what materials are added to the clay when kneaded to become a obedient don?
what about mouse and mice? why is that a problem
@@rsdsma775 Im sorry for you for what Obamna did to the brick houses there.
One of the best videos on this topic.
Thanks
Brillient effort to train the people.Please keep it up. It is a great contribution for the society.
Just did this, now i have a gigantic hole in my backyard. Lol
That's cool! If you live in a cold winter climate you can make the hole an underground garden it will always have a consistent temperature if you make a transparent roof you can plant anything tropical at cold weather, or you can make a pond. đ
@@elieelias4928 maybe a personal swimming pool.
use it as backyard fish pool...... simpleđđđđ€Ł
Well you have to use clay soil and a normal agricultural land soil and straw
Make a bunker with the bricks you madeđ
finally, i can be primitive technology
Thank you for sharing how to make mud bricks you are truly awesome and wonderful ^^
Looks fun and learning ! Amen ty always a blessing
Our pleasure!
Thank You. I really appreciate this vid.
thank you for this video. it's very helpful.
Thank you from houston tx usa
Thank you from Fort Worth TX USA
Texas is the best
I am gone try it for sure.
This is the most beneficial video I've seen today. You're helping so many people to do their work on their own. Thankyou â€ïž
Thx for uploading
Oh nice u can reuse the mud
Very very nice information
i have seen lot of houses and barns of dirt bricks in village where i live
âMud is gud for ur skinâ
4 year old me: my skin is as smooth as ur principalâs bald head.
Easy to follow. Looks fun. Drying in UK might take some time..
Supper sir ur explanation
You guys are doing such cool stuff all the time
Thanks Yuklz! :)
Exactly
God I almost walked outside to do this forgetting it's 17° outside
Edit: tip when making any type of bricks agitation is good on the mold to get air pockets out for extra strength
Can we put grass instead of straw?
Karim Mohamed yah u can even use twigs because it acts like the bones
Weâve used pine needles.
Dry cow manure works too.
I bet even sap would work so yes
I AM MAKING MINE WITH GRASS, I have 1/2 an acre of grass and my house is so hot in the summer that I am determined to go this route. I love the idea of the brick. I was going to just pour it on top of the cement roof. Thank you Gracias from Mexico
this video is really helpful 8n my compition
Thank you for educating me.
Good music
Love from jammu I am also planning for mudd house.
Should. Put it in the oven to dry quickly or just let dry self
Oven for pre-fire to prevent cracking during firing
How do I prevent from cracking brick when drying process begins.?
Me:
My parents: what are you doing
Me: building a house

@@peepalfarm I want to build it but I have as much as no space for it because flat land is expensive in europe
Can we replace straw with sawdust? We have so much soil from foundation digging. Need to make something... This video is inspiring
awsome video!
Nice video! Keep uploading!
You should write peepal farm or Robin on the bricksđ€Șđâșđ
Thanks for teach me
I was thinking of building a fire pit in the back yard with this method and stone gravel.
Adobe bricks.
Ground / earth / mud, straw, water. Form brick. Let dry. Cook in fire. Yum im hungry.

Pity that the text flashes by so fast and the text at the end is blocked by ads.
Can I use wood strips rather than straw?
Same question. Straw isn't something I can find laying around the woods here
@@jq7323 try it, I don't see why not. Personally I would use strips of bark. Do you not have nettles or shrubs you could use?
If itâs too stiff I wouldnât recommend it must be skinny and flexible
Also get some green grass cut it and tie each one with some string and allow it to die off slowly or put near a fire
@@theoneandonly15 maybe plastic cut to real small
This is very simple
is it possible to make the roof mud like laying thin logs across and then mixing straw and mud across it
Sure but donât expect it to last or be water proof.
You would want to create fires clay tiles for the roof. Perhaps mud would work in place of clay but the important part is being able to fire dry it to retard water and make it hard enough to withstand erosion.
saving in case i get in a apocalypse
What are the dimensions of the mold?
12 in x 6 in x 3 in
Soo do I just let dry out in sun or do I have to bake them? plz say sun plz
Shade. Try it and see how it goes.
rebecca moon any will do
It's just mud. It will fall apart first heavy rainfall. You need clay and dirt and it has to be burned after it dries up.
What if im a Australian trying to do this with just dirt? Will that work?
Bien Sync pull off fibers from wood and use as straw very effective
@@rakeenaktar6843 where in a drought right now and straw is only for farmers so that wont work
@@cocoa4548 use lawn trimmings
Moonflower yes but it will crumble
I'm in QLD and ive used yard clippings, dead and live grass all with success. Straw is hella expensive because of the drought so I feel your pain my dude. Just empty your mower catcher into the mix and youre good to go. Made some about 2 years ago that have been left in the rain and when theyre dry they are stupid strong. (to avoid wear and tear obviously make a cover of some kind)
Super cute
i want make mud house
this video
advise me ...great video keep itup ...
love frome Hyderabad .ts
For good and strong brick u can use soil , cow dung and Chuna.
Please, if you have information, what materials are added to pottery clay, to make it to den?
What about drying? How long before they can be used for construction?
You need to let them cook. Some people create smoke ovens.
I have a question.
A life saving Question, ???? Does anybody know, is Mutual industrial fire clay good for putting Clay bricks together & safe to use / okay to use for making my forge ?
Anyone who is willing to answer, thank you sincerely in advance, it's important for me to know"! Thank you again for answering in advance & Good tidings / take care & thank you sincerely uploader of video for making this video Ma'am, I truly appreciate your knowledge"!

Hey,We have them make bricks of pure clay or a little sand, and mix with it soft wheat straw, dung or animal hair, or rice straw, and it must be burned well, until it comes out in the end white or yellow, not red like this, I hope you benefit from this information, I am looking for the way to make pottery, I want to know what they add to the clay to become a den, and there is no one to answer, I wish you a happy year for everyone greetings đč,
Amazing đ
which is faster, economical, stronger & aesthetic - cob vs earth bag vs adobe earth
Hi thanks for the video. Question: do you know if I was to mix Portland cement, backyard dirt/soil, and grass that it will bond and harden? Thanks!
That's the recipe used for CEB or compressed earth blocks, adding about 6% cement to traditional mud bricks increases material strength and weather resistance
Good job but you can't use those bricks to build a heater stove, because will broke.
This is what the Hebrew slaves did in Egypt under brutal conditions until The LORD saved them.
If I wanted to make a paver pathway with a mold could I mix soil with cement?
My bricks seems to be wearing away at the edges pretty quickly, not holding together to well
maybe put it on fire if the brick is moist and new and that will harden it.
@@ssimplerumbling how long should one wait for brick to dry before firing.. I know depends on region and weather.. Approx?
I think this video should be in its original sound
Where I van find The straw ??
in the store sipping starw will do fuck it why notlsdg]'sd
The soil in America is very different. Would this work in certain parts of Florida?
The soil has to have some clay in it to work properly i think. So would check out how much clay there is in your soil.
How lonf can mud vricks last
Con you use the lawn cut grass ?
If is going to rain ;
Hello thanks for the vedio ..
Can you please say , after placing the brick from wooden box , after how many days will it be fine to replace to build a home ?
It will depend on how long it takes to dry. We turn it on its side in 3 days, and then it's completely dry in another 4. As long as it's hot weather, it will dry in 7-8 days and is ready to use.
@@peepalfarm you dont have to put in oven? Wont they get soggy and break down after getting wet again?
Hi, how long do these mud houses last?
The oldest one I know is more than a hundred years old. You just have to protect them from water.

Which straw should be used...
To t he made his brick earth with sandy topsoil which contains little clay. because if the answer is yes it means that I can make bricks with my sandy soil ?
I dearly hope this man at the beginning is very clever with his pick ax. Flip flops are not the correct footwear for this kind of work

Dammit! the one thing I need is a brick mold

Mixing random soil with bare feet is not recommended as that is how you get hook worm
do you fire mud bricks, or just sun dry?
Can you coat a mud brick house with pitch to keep it safe from water?
Then we can paint đđđđđ
Teach me how to build
What is the straw made of ?
I wonder if mud bricks are good for kiln?
to my understanding you would want to bake the bricks instead of sun drying them but ya i believe its a common thing.
can I use any dried plant material for straw? like super thin cured bamboo trimmings
