SB: sb alternative?
>guy who bales up grass, > bales are packed even tighter than a normal
bale of hay.> 'bladey grass' very tall grass with reasonably wide leaves,
as it grows quite prolificly around the area ?
will baled grass decompose in my walls?
would the insulation values be similar?
is it an appropriate material to use?
Leanne,
Tight bales are a must.
Insulative value would be determined by the cellulose content of the
grass. Also, as straw has hollow stems to hold dead air, I suspect your
grass bales would lack this feature as well.
Still... Late 1800's midwesters settlers used some baled prairie grass so
might still be doable.
