We collected several interesting larger bottles whilst gathering beer bottles for the bottle wall on the south wall. I decided to put them to use infilling the western and eastern pony walls. I mixed up a batch of cob with an extra helping of straw. As the infill is as much bottle as well I thought the extra straw would good for holding things together. Since it wasn’t load bearing and I wanted to bottles to stick out past the wall to catch more light, the cob is only 3 – 4″ wide.
