Hempcrete is a composite made from fibers of the industrial hemp plant mixed with lime. But what can you use this for? Well, to build a home of course! It is about an eighth of the weight of conventional concrete and is also an efficient insulator, reducing energy cost up to 50-70% annually! Did we mention hempcrete is healthy, sustainable and affordable too? 🌱 🏚️

#Repost @hemp_farmers Fiber Wars Chapter 3 Domestic Bast Fibers Flax, hemp, jute and ramie are "soft" bast fibers, fiber found in the stem of the plant. Jute is produced in the humid tropics. Ramie, a perennial nettle, although highly researched by the USDA, never became an established crop due to its recalcitrant degumming requirement. Hemp fiber bundles are longer than those of flax, but flax fiber generally contains less lignin and is therefore more flexible and makes a finer fabric. The characteristics of these two fibers overlap and the best hemp can be superior to flax for fine fabric. Hemp is generally stronger than flax and both are stronger than jute. Hemp has been reported to yield twice the fiber of flax from an acre of land, but such comparisons are problematic.The yield, strength and quality of either fiber are highly dependent on the seed variety, the conditions of growth, time of harvest and manner of retting and other post-harvest handling. The commercial hemp fiber ranges from 40 to 80 inches in length. The individual cellular fibers, which are organized in bundles to make the long, macroscopic fiber, vary from 0.19 to 2.16 inch in length and from 16 to 50 microns in diameter. Flax fiber length ranges from 6 to 40 inches, the cells from 0.43 to 1.49 inch in length and 11 to 20 micron in diameter.
