I've been looking for a material to make raised bed gardens and
intrigued with the possibility of papercrete.
Mike- a guy I know make this gorgeous kidney bean shaped 18" thick
papercrete wall, about 20" tall, and there is a planted garden inside.
it is a mostly clay and paper, with cement mix ( I don;t know his
proportions), he used curvey wood- thin balsa?, to stake out the
shape, and poured the mix in, now it is holding up well in wet & hot
inner N Ca. and it looks great. the curve shape make it easier to
have strong walls with no corners.
he has a site with lots of pics of his stuff at www.biotectures.com
check it out.
