Donald you are right that is not the size field the average papercreter would need to dry blocks, and that field was Adobe and not papercrete.
A true look at what a papercreter who is looking to build say a 1820 sq ft home, say the size of the home is 26 ft wide and 70 ft long. That would require 1536 block, not deducting for doors and windows. That would be about 13 stacks of 120, 24"x12"x6" and one stack would look something like this.

I have not found the drying of and handling of blocks to be that big of an issue. It would seem that a lot of people who get interested in papercrete are turned off by the prospect of taking a little time and having some patience in the building process. This, in my humble estimation, is part of the beauty of papercrete. If we are looking for instant gratification, then I suppose one could take on a big mortgage and buy a subdivision house and live happily ever after, or at least until the foreclosure comes to pass.
