[papercreters] Re: Earthbag, Superadobe, Hiperdobe, why not Hiperpapercrete?

I would think sewing with bailing twine would be very effective, but it might be necessary to use some fancy schmancy sewing stitch that won't slide around easily and allow the netting to bunch up in some places and leave gaps in others where material could leak out.

Only way to know for sure is to try and see what works best.


Another alternative would be hog rings, like the ferrocment guys use all the time.

If you put the papercrete mix down the middle 32" and pulled the 16" on either side up to where they meet, you would only need to sew one seam and there would be no cutting. Maybe even just staking the 2 side flaps together, every few feet as you add the papercrete and then going back to lace the 2 sides together. I will be interested to learn what your farm friend has to say. I only know that hay comes in it, it's very strong and not biodegradable.
