[papercreters] RE: RE: screened wood ash added with cement?

Yes I am planning on building a small dome crete chicken house this coming summer and I do want to try the wood ash idea as well. Even just cutting 10% to 20% would still save money. How high of coal ash have some used??

Hi Jackie !

Being old school cement block were called cinder block so i assume a good portion or the block was made from cinders= ash . Also ash is very alkaline like lime so chemically similar too . Best way is to try a small batch a see for yourself u may be pleasantly surprised ! Conrad

Here is another question I have about possibly cutting down on cement powered. I've read that some people add coal ash with the cement powered up to 1/3 without harm. Has anyone ever heard or tried using screened wood ash in the same way?? Does anyone think this could be possible without harming or weakening the papercrete???
