We will show the step by step process of making your own mud bricks. 🏡
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 🙏🙏
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.
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!
*looks outside and sees all the snow*
Crap.
Snow bricks
@just some guy hi somehow i found you
😂
Haha
Frozen bricks balala
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!!!
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
nigga im building a fucking castle
@@ainisskulskis7975 ...wow your a special class of a community loser, now go play under a moving truck .
@@ainisskulskis7975 Why'd you cursed ?
@@amrhamzah1046 why do you no speak english
@@ainisskulskis7975 Ok
Unfortunately they don't teach simple things like this at school. They want us dumbed down , not to rely upon ourselves .
Bingo 💯
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 right👍🤑
Because they didn't have the patience on building there 5000 bricks and there house collapsed
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
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
@@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.
Brillient effort to train the people.Please keep it up. It is a great contribution for the society.
One of the best videos on this topic.
Thanks
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 🙏, 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= ಲು, Lu=ಳು
@@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.
finally, i can be primitive technology
Thank you for sharing how to make mud bricks you are truly awesome and wonderful ^^
Thank You. I really appreciate this vid.
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. 😎
@@elieelias4928 maybe a personal swimming pool.
use it as backyard fish pool...... simple😂😂😂🤣
Well you have to use clay soil and a normal agricultural land soil and straw
Make a bunker with the bricks you made😀
Thank you for educating me.
This is the most beneficial video I've seen today. You're helping so many people to do their work on their own. Thankyou ❤️
Looks fun and learning ! Amen ty always a blessing
Our pleasure!
thank you for this video. it's very helpful.

Exactly
Good music
Amazing 👏
Super cute
I was thinking of building a fire pit in the back yard with this method and stone gravel.
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
Thanks for teach me
You should write peepal farm or Robin on the bricks🤪😁☺😀
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
supub idea👌
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.?
What about drying? How long before they can be used for construction?
You need to let them cook. Some people create smoke ovens.
i want make mud house
this video
advise me ...great video keep itup ...
love frome Hyderabad .ts
Good luck
સરસ
If I wanted to make a paver pathway with a mold could I mix soil with cement?
Pity that the text flashes by so fast and the text at the end is blocked by ads.
Adobe bricks.
Ground / earth / mud, straw, water. Form brick. Let dry. Cook in fire. Yum im hungry.
saving in case i get in a apocalypse
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"!
Respectfully, / Sincerely.

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 🌹,
Good job but you can't use those bricks to build a heater stove, because will broke.
What are the dimensions of the mold?
12 in x 6 in x 3 in
is it possible to make the roof mud like laying thin logs across and then mixing straw and mud across it
Sure but don’t 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.
Can we put grass instead of straw?
Karim Mohamed yah u can even use twigs because it acts like the bones
We’ve 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
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.
If is going to rain ;
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
which is faster, economical, stronger & aesthetic - cob vs earth bag vs adobe earth
I think this video should be in its original sound
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?
Con you use the lawn cut grass ?
How lonf can mud vricks last
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?
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.
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
I like the music ..whats the name of it....wow
👍👍👍👍👌😉
can I use any dried plant material for straw? like super thin cured bamboo trimmings
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 it’s too stiff I wouldn’t 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
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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 ?
The beginning sounded like a Conan O'Brien video intro
Haha surely by mistake! But cool!
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?
do you fire mud bricks, or just sun dry?
Can you coat a mud brick house with pitch to keep it safe from water?
I have clay right out of the ground without mixing it with anything. Will this work?
Show us dry bricks in other video pls. .
You can see what our finished mud brick house look like here: th-cam.com/video/tAU1avH7NSI/w-d-xo.html
Then we can paint 😁😁😁😁😉
👍👍👍👍
ايه كلافه وتعب
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Which straw should be used...
Would coconut husk work instead of straw?
Supar
Dammit! the one thing I need is a brick mold
can i put these in the oven at a low temp to dry faster
Ofc
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
Teach me how to build

How to lit a fire without lighter or match using stone or
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)
