This is awesome ! People don't realize we're in a sand shortage. The perfect sand usually comes from rivers. Most fish depend on sand to lay their eggs in sand . . Construction sand does not come from ocean beaches. Or deserts . The best sand comes our rivers. This method of building is a nice start to saving our planet !
So, building sand shortage. Ah, the shifting sands.
Thanks. Finally a vid explaining the actual recipe for this. Not the cryptic “lime binder” in order to sell a product.
was there the day this was supposed to happen......they postponed it till the next day and i could not be there......so very grateful for this video...
Great, I learned a new word: localysing, means no cost because the materials come from near by, wonderfull!
Yeah if you don't count labor.
@@jessegerard5752 - most of this is stuff people can do themselves.
Though the original statement is too broad. Localization takes out the added costs of transport and middle men. However the producer then has to take on the hassle of dealing with individual retail and small commercial customers, or offload that to another local entity to make a living at as a local retailer/distributor.
in Europe the binder mix is normally hydrated lime + hydraulic lime + fly ash approx 4:1:1 by weight. Using portland cement goes against the eco friendliness of the binder.
You literally explained your whole process. Thank you for sharing this! hope you guys are all doing well.
I think I'm becoming obsessed with hempcrete such a great material
So glad you & other pioneers are making breakthroughs in alternate building! Ever since I learned about Hempcrete in 2014, I have been obsessed too :) !!!
I HAVE A PROPERTY LESS THAN 1 MILE FROM A HEMP HURD PROCESSING FACILITY. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO MANUFACTURE HEMPCRETE BLOCKS TO BUILD A HOME ON MY PROPERTY AND MAYBE EVEN START A HEMP CRETE BUILDING BLOCK MANUFACTURING FACILITY (SMALL SCALE) MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR GREW 20 ACRES OF HEMP THIS YEAR NEXT DOOR TO ME!!!
My problem in the Philippines is God damned termites and other boring critters. I like building with wood and I dont like hempcrete. I like the ability of wood to moderate humidity swings. Any cellulosic material will do this. You have given me a great idea. Add the bare minimum amount of lime and use it as insulation infill behind the wood panneling..
Energy fair is so much fun! So happy to see this video! Love my Crestonians💚
Only been to crestone a couple times, but seen the coolest storm cloud ever there.
Very cool information. Just came across your channel, and very impressed! Subbed.
I particularly love the safety-thongs.
look forward to learning more! want to finish off a 3,000sq ft building? and learn about growing hemp for production.
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Whaaaaat? 33rd year?! How freaking cool, never heard of it. Very Creston tho! 👌
Love this, need it in Australia badly
Very Interesting
Awesome
What do you think of dustcrete?
WINFRED SOUTH DAKOTA, just put in a HEMP PROCESSING FACILITY this summer (2023) to produce HEMP HURD, VIDEO TOUR ON CZcams!
Link?
But where do you get the hemp????
I want a job building this stuff. I'm into this kinda stuff for real.
There is a company that does this called Hemp Technologies. Check into it, you may be able to get a job with them. Good luck to you.
Where you based?
would be nice if you had some kind of truck that would mix that for you
I need a team and materials to get going lol I've learned it's hard to do it alone
Why Portland? I thought the whole point of lime was that it was breathable and Portland was not?
Make a tamper on the end of a sawall
So the finished product when completely set up is it hard like a cinder block or a little softer ? The dexterity was kind of difficult to tell from the video. By the way great video thank you.
Lots of better videos that share better info on hempcrete. Just BioFiber has a website you can check out. That’s who I’m hoping to get to build my home… plus google for others.
When fully cured ( dried) it will be like a cinder block only breathable
Can the hempcrete be used in an earthship instead of tire wall?
Absolutely! I will build an earth ship inspired hempcrete home for myself!
4.22 ...portland cement .......?
I'm wondering if this hempcrete brew could be load bearing
Maybe not this exact formula- but there are hempcrete manufactured blocks that are !
Can you work with it in the freezing temps?
Probably, it makes its own heat due to the setting lime.
I want to do a perimeter wall, it's a big job, what's the best method you think? Hempcrete, rammed earth?
Do you mean like a garden wall? Straw bales on edge on a grade beam. Cover them with chicken wire and stucco. Doesn't matter if they rot as the stucco will be almost forever. Want to upgrade?.... cover with remesh and gunite the wall. I had a pool crew do that and they were grateful to work at grade, lol.
Thoughts on cord wood?
Hmm, with the mix they are using, Im not sure it would be able to hold the same way cob and cordwood does, is that what you are referring to?
Just curious why wheat straw couldn't be used? Anyone know? I mean I know it's not as hip as having a ganja house but wheat straw is EXTREMELY abundant as it is a byproduct of producing wheat.
Great question! Im not sure about using wheat straw in the same way they are using hemp in this video. However Wheat Straw is used in natural buildings in other ways...1. Using Straw bales. 2. As an ingredient in COB. Here's another video from the same event explaining both techniques: czcams.com/video/G7NpSPvuTVk/video.html
Do you know who the supplier was for their hemp hurd? All he said is I came from Center, CO and I can't find one. Thanks
Would be helpful info!
The other side of the road was mentioned
😀
how long do you wait to plaster it after?
Don’t you love how much help you’re getting when genuinely inquiring.. poor social media management
Since it is all breathable, or 'vapor open', you probably could plaster right away, or very soon, like days.
CAn you discuss some differences between different recipes?
I've seen:
hurds + lime + water
hurds + lime + cement + water
hurds + lime + clay + water
thanks
I’ve also seen
Hurd + perlite + natural cement
@@saren6538 - I bet any/most of the mixes are good for both sculpting, and for carving.
would adding air via bubbles increase R factor?
Not with this method, the bubbles would collapse. It might be possible using another method where you cast bricks, but there would most likely still be issues with getting the hemp fibers to bond properly. Additionally, the fibers might collapse the bubbles in a casted mix as well. Not sure how DIY friendly it would be. Maybe viable for manufacturing with the right equipment.. Hope that helps!
@@TheOffGridGuru yes it does how do you determine R factor
Only in concrete air bubbles will increase the R factor.
It is Done with just a little bit of dish washer soap.
"that's what this does" *points down*
I'm still waiting for someone with decent style or taste to build one of these alt homes. So far it's only hippies and burners who think 1850's waxed villian moustaches are a good look.
i dont like earthbags. they settle and shrink the structure because nobody ever compresses the layers. if they compressed the layers or included some stabilising materials like.... cement then it would work a lot better
Been there done that gruelling hard work.
$100 bucks says there is DANK NUGS all over that fair.

adding Portland cement - WHAT A LOAD OF NONSENSE - DONT LISTEN TO THEM
Yeah, smh. 🤦🏼♀️
What does Portland cement do? I new to all this.
I don't believe it's mould resistant.time will tell......
Hey wayne, avoidingmold.com says “Mold can grow on the surface of hempcrete, just like other materials, when the conditions are right… as the food source can be dirt or dust, but due to the lime component and natural fungal resistance of the hemp, mold will not feed on the hempcrete itself.” There is more data to back up these claims as well.
Additionally: “When it comes to mold, controlling moisture is still the only real solution. Hempcrete is an exciting new material to consider for sustainable building, as long as moisture management is the top priority.”
@@TheOffGridGuru Moisture management better always be a top priority, whatever you are building, expecially if you are building a dam.
