RE: [papercreters] Papercrete Underground?



I do have some rather thick banner fabric.
Would it work to wrap that around it?
Any idea about it's insulation rating?

If you can surrounded it with well drained gravel so that it doesn't get wet

Howdy Folks,

 

Would a straight Water, Paper, Portland papercrete hold up if it was buried in the ground?

What would be it's insulative value if was eight or twelve inches thick.

 

Are there any additives that would help it hold up better or insulate better?

 

I am thinking about walls for a root celler.

I also am thinking about four foot deep walls to set a greenhouse on so I can run PEX tubing through the soil and heat fluid with an antique Laundry Stove that I have.
