La brique pilée provient du recyclage, du concassage, et du criblage de briques. De couleur rouge orangée, sa couleur contraste avec les végétaux. Aussi elle régule l'hygrométrie et améliore le drainage. Ainsi elle abaisse la température du sol en été, et protège des gelées en hiver. Donc elle améliore le drainage. 3, record 1, French, - argile%20broy%C3%A9e
