Something that I had wanted (but forgot) to mention was the possibility of
sawdust + clay as an alternative to straw + clay since the original
question came from the coastal PNW where I presume sawdust is a more
plentiful local resource than is straw. A bit more dense (and hence
higher compression resistance)but basically the same idea.
I'm pretty sure that I saw a recent research report on that somewhere on
my hard drive, and I *suspect* (but could be wrong) that it, like the CMHC
report on leichtlehm mentioned above, was also authoured by WatJohn. Then
again, maybe the whole thing was just wishful thinking and there is no
report ?
