Ron, i haven't made any yet, outside of the paper statue - was considering the easiest route, which would seem like adding chopped straw to sand/concrete. That way i wouldn't have to lift bales and skewer threaded rods and have to fight those lumpy ones, just line up conduit, fill the form, let that set a little and move it up. I have an auger to feed slip-forms and a mixer and that, so kinda wanting to go with what i'm used to. I would like to experiment & develop a kinda dry mix, might be pretty porous even (basically coated straw) once it's cured it will get stuccoed in&out with a gun anyway. Won't be hard to determine R vales and strength once i get a few sample blocks. Reckon maybe 10 inches thick :)
