At this hypertufa forum peat moss is a staple ingredient in almost every mixture. Alas nothing is said about why this is so and what reasons there are for its inclusion. It might also be good in papercrete. About all that I have found is that peat moss has very good insulative properties and has been used for that purpose in building. Does anyone else know why this would be good in the mix?

That was a good link to the garden web forum, the post on papercrete sculpture. I looked around the site a bit and found a very detailed post on using papercrete for sculpting -In this person's work he is not using waste paper as we do in papercrete:Paper fiber (I buy the paper insulation that is used to be blown into attics) I think they call it cellulose insulation. You can get from Lowes. It is already shredded.If anyone's posted this link already I apologize, my Outlook was damaged by a virus and I've been having email problems.Terry
