Meka's Cob Cottage

Alternative homes!

I don't know much about these cob houses, only that they are made of dirt and straw and are environmentally friendly. I read somewhere that you can build them for $11,000. I am wondering how they stand up to the elements - are they practical in different climates? Anyone have any experience in building one of these sweet looking homes?
