Re: Hempcrete: An Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Concrete

That does sound promising. It seems easy to recognize the noise and thermal transmission benefits over cold concrete.
It also sounds like she is building in the Houston area. Does that mean she can't have hemp in the US, but she can import Hemcrete once manufactured in its new form containing hemp product?
I guess that also implies that it would conform to US Building Codes against fire, electrical and plumbing problems also.
Not to her but, that might be a funny house fire to watch. See 50 heads racing to get downwind only going by smell and not knowing it was only Industrial Hemp.
