Step 2Mix stuff in a bucket
Depending on the type of paper and dirt you use, you will need to change the proportion of the ingredients. The sandy clay in my backyard worked well for an adobe-like mixture, but in the end I had to throw out other recipes and experiment until it came out solid.
First, fill the bucket about half full of dry, shredded paper. You can also add dryer lint, or other fibrous material like straw.
Add water until it's saturated, then mix with about four shovels full of dirt, or until the mixture comes back up to the halfway point again.
Add about one shovel full of cement, or about three soup cans.
Add enough water to make it the consistency of wet concrete and stir together until uniform.
