    Hiya, I'm thinking about organic building blocks and am wondering what the options are. I know of hemp/lime blocks...

    Any information out there on the use of other organic vegetable waste matter such as jerusalem artichoke?
    does anyone know the difference in thermal/longevity functionality between hemp and straw?
    are there things such as straw blocks? (made with either lime or clay, maybe recycled glass or crushed shell as agg)
    is it just a case of experimenting with Jerusalem artichoke, lime/clay, and recycled glass for aggregate or has stuff like this been done and results available?

    cheers,

    Check out German sites for Leichtlehm (light clay). That's clay and straw mix. Various blocks, panels or DIY are used.
