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 draws sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.
Hemp Hurds can also be used for insulation. Fill wall or ceiling cavaties and enjoy the superiour insulative properties of hemp's hollow fibres.
