[papercreters] Wild Harvested Binders and Fiberous Plant Matter

This is my first post and so treat me gently! <smile>

I was wondering about several things that I could not find regarding ingredients to Papercrete. First has anyone tried or thought about using sagebrush or greasewood type stems instead of or in addition to paper products in the mix? What might be the drawbacks and/or advantages of their use?

Also, I thought since surplus latex paint is sometimes used as a binder if the dandelion stem milk (a light weight glue) and pine pitch might be used as binders as well or if anyone had tried using anything like that or any other nature type binders.

Since these things are readily available in nature where I am, I thought it might be something which would work.

Thank you for any ideas regarding this.
