this is buck,, read belowww,
Greetings Heidi,
I do understand straw bale very well, did a course on it years ago now in
Arizona with the "Out on a bale, by mail" people. Unfortunately, straw
bale is not a good building material for my area. I would have to truck
bales in from well over a 100 miles away. My humidity is over 80% most of
the year. We tested a rice straw bale on the property, it disintegrated in
a single season, just as if it were hay. We have many insects here that
just eat it and I do not allow chemicals on the property. Straw bale is a
wonderful building material if you live in the right climate.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
