I'm a papercrete newbie myself, but it's my understanding that using stone and gravel aggregates will strengthen papercrete, but decrease its R-value in the process, much in the same way adding a lot of sand does.
I'm sure some of the more experienced users on this forum could speak to this better than I can however.

The summers are brutal with lots of humidity which make the heat seem unbearable. We are wanting to do some papercrete here and are thinking of doing slip forms. Has anyone used stone with their papercrete. I live on what seems to be a stone garden.......
