- Feed the dug weeds to the Bash Research Station
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the research is finished (approximately 10 weeds)
As of version 19, you can research Stir to unlock the Crude Mortar Mixer, enabling the production of mortar:
- Build a Stir Research Station
- Use a bucket on a sand tile to get Sand
- Feed the sand to the Stir Research Station

After the research is complete, the unlocked building can be found in the Misc category in Edit Mode.
