Yes, a traditional mix is of manure+sand, with straw to reinforce, mixed and beaten into a slurry.
It makes weaker blocks, is much less water resistant, and exposes you to pathogens. also, you need water to get it to mix well into slurry.

I sound like an oldfag now, but wth is your project, if we know what youre trying we may have suggestions in a completely different direction

not that complicated

Called CEB. Compressed earth block.

Build big lever activated press, bottle jack press, or pony up for a 7 ton log splitter like me.

Bonus. Shreaded cardboard, paper, and leaves soaked in water over night and oress and dry for fire logs.

Another bonus. Beer can press. 1.5 gazillion cans per cubic foot.

Make sure and okay it with the scrap yard first or find a company they trust to take them since u in theiry could hide a fucking canon ball in it and rip them off.

Good luck bro.

I hear it takes a lot of fucking blocks to do much. And ~10% concrete mixed with the dirt nakes a big difference.

Be interested to see anything u come up with.

Although this building method has been used for thousands of years its not real modernized since we have had concrete for hundreds.
