                                      M11 - mix11 [E: P – 3:1]
                                                Earth -75%
                                                Paper- 25%
                   The following steps will explain the mixing procedure for padobe bricks.
o   First required amount of earth having more than 30% clays and paper were measured by volume batching.
o   Then smooth surface was selected for mixing.
o   Water was sprinkled over that surface.
o   Then the earth was taken and more water was applied over it.
