RE: [papercreters] sources

I don't know much about rice because it is a geographically availability thing.  Up in the North Straw makes sense down south Rice likely makes sense

I am no sure why that would be, you still would have most of the bale insulating.  You are going to mud the outside anyway. Personally I see no advantage at all in straw over rice hulls and the rice hull house is no problem meeting spec and goes up a lot faster, weeks faster.

I think if I was going to build with straw I would float the bales in clay
slip and seal all for sides before bringing them to the site. It would add
weight during construction and possibly be a slight negative on r value but
it would almost eliminate the fire hazard.
The rice hulls sound like the way to go as meeting code is easy and they
almost won't burn.

I love the idea of papercrete but I need to learn more before I would
chance building a house that way.
