  1. How to mix if not ready mix? Meaning what is the ingredients? And how much in contrast to each other? As if we baking a cake. Im surprised this is not more talked about. Rhis ahould be numeral. Uno. Remember the reason we have not been doing this for hundreds of years is because of greed. Its crazy. The story is sad. Now let us allow the information out to everyone. Let us not hold back any information. Lets not make the mistakes of our past. Amyway. You make it by mixing lime and hemp that has been cut up into like wood chip texture. Or even sawdust i suppose. Or can use bigger chucks depends on the application … at least this is my guess. You cant really mess this up. 😂. So cool . And do you use a lime base paint? That would be
    Great for this. Perfect. Lots if air. But dont seem like your getting total benifites if hemp if you simply useing woid chip shape piece. I mean so whats the difference of simply useing chips? 😂

  2. If you laminate continuous fiber hemp wool around the wall the shell could become the structure replacing the 2×4 inside the wall.

    The scientific name of the shopped fiber thickening effect is called a thixotropic agent.

  3. You mention the hemp lime plaster is NOT suitable for exterior walls. Is there a plaster made with hemp or anything else suitable for exterior application to add insulation and spark defense ?

  4. Hi, would you recommend using the hemp on solid stone internal walls. As in an old irish venacular cottage which has lime mortar render. I want to chip off all the old plaster, point and re do but without using latts or gysum board. Want it to help with insulation and breathability

  5. I am going to build the frame with hemp blocks. It is my inside walls I want to talk about. Instead of 2×4's and drywall to keep the house green what do you recommend? There is no clay on my property. I might have sand. Should a person just build with smaller thinner hemp blocks for the inside walls assuming the company builds them or hire a person to build by filling with the hemp fill?
