In essence that is what Judith did with her blocks. I have read about a fence that was done with stacked bags of compacted trash, covered with wire, and then plastered with pc. When I get back to the outer layer on my dome I will add bottles (plastic and glass) in the mix, giving nice dead air spaces and a great way to recycle the bottles. I have used chunks of papercrete in the same way in the past.
I wouldn't want to throw in anything heavy because it would reduce the insulation value, but light things should be fine.

Anyone ever thought of using the debris from demolitions (old concrete, etc) when pouring slipforms? Think it would be worth the time/effort? Set up the slipforms. Drop in big chunks of concrete where they'll fit. Pour the 'crete around 'em, locking them in place. Could conceivably cut the amount of 'crete needed by a fairly sizable amount...and at least in some places, the "demo" junk is just waiting to be hauled off. Thoughts?
