Hemp Hurds for Hempcrete 'Green Building'
High Performance Material perfect for 'green' building. Hempcrete is a natural, non-toxic alternative to concrete, and can also replace traditional wood and fibreboard walls. Hempcrete is easily made using hemp hurds mixed with lime and water, which is then tamped into form work to create walls. As the hempcrete sets it becomes very strong and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.
Hemp Hurds can also be used for insulation. Fill wall or ceiling cavities and enjoy the superior insulative properties of hemp's hollow fibres.

HOW TO MAKE HEMPCRETE
The ratio of hemp hurd to binder to water ranges from 4:1:1 to 1:2:2 (experiment and adjust for your intended use). Wet the hemp first, then add binder - usually hydrated lime or mineral clay, with fine pumice or sand added - and mix well. Tamp into formwork. Leave to dry overnight before removing fromwork. Hempcrete will continue to strengthen as it sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.
Hemp Hurds for Animal Bedding, Animal Litter or Garden Mulch
Spread a 10cm layer of hurd in your stable or chicken coop, lightly sprinkle with water to settle the product and your precious animals can enjoy the warmth and comfort of hemp bedding. Hemp is the premium litter of choice for small and large animals – providing the best for your horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, reptiles, puppies and kittens.
Hemp hurd (either fresh or used bedding/litter) also makes an excellent garden mulch, enriching and protecting the soil, and encouraging earthworm activity and healthy soil microbe and fungi. In summer place around flower beds, vegetable gardens, ornamental fruit trees, or potted plant to keep moisture in the soil during summer. Use in winter to prevent the ground from chilling, which protects the roots of trees and perennials.
