peer agreement (net): +3crumbled clay Explanation: ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2008-07-01 14:12:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://osdir.com/ml/plants.agavaceae/2002-05/msg00017.html (...) So I took reasonably hardy seedlings (sown January; asperrima, celsii, cupreata, deserti simplex and striata rubra) of about the same size and put them in pots with A] the normal mixture, B] with *crumbled clay* added and C] with small clay lumps added. (...) It could also be "crumbled clay soil" http://www.terryblackburn.us/Gardening/heather/ The dirt recipe I used amounted to 25 pounds of sand, a cubic foot or so of expanded peat moss (not compressed), a couple heaping shovel-full's of aged hemlock bark dust, and enough dry, *crumbled clay* soil to fill a 6 cubic foot wheelbarrow. http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/scraps.htm Place the *crumbled clay* where you want the inlay to be, cover this with a mixture of half Sculpey Diluent and half TLS. Mix it all together and pat it into place. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2008-07-01 14:35:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- What about "crumbled brick earth/clay"? http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=58708 Brick earth: an EARTH or CLAY suitable for making BRICK and in Geology a clayey brownish earth lying below the surface soil in the London basin. The clay was dug in the autumn and left to the action of frost over winter, being frequently turned to assist the process. In spring, the crumbled clay was cast into shallow pits where it was watered and soaked, and then kneaded under the feet of humans or oxen, or in a horsemill [Tomlinson (1854)]; [Houghton]. Usually the clay was mixed with other materials and hence the reference to the use of SEA COAL ASHES 'to be mixed with Brick Earth in the making of Bricks' [Acts (1770)]. See also BRICK CLAY. Sources: Acts. References: Tomlinson (1854). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-07-01 14:37:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.nipissingu.ca/department/history/muhlberger/2055/... Today Çatal Hüyük is, a mound made up of *crumbled clay bricks* from successive settlements on the same location over centuries. It was occupied for at least 800 years, so it is a big double mound, covering 32 acres. But the town that created the mound was entirely unknown to history until 1961, when a British team under James Mellaart began digging. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2008-07-01 14:38:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.bdesh.info/info/essays/Exclusivity.pdf These smears of *crumbled clay*, which may be strewn across whole stretches of tarmac, mark where flung bricks have crashed down. |
