Hey all!
I'm fairly new to this light clay
straw (LCS) concept, and really like what I've learnt so far.
Some questions I have don't seem to find many answers though...
One virtue LCS offers over straw bale is apparent resistance to vermin. This is a huge draw for me, as I have been in too many eco-homes with rodent infestations.
But does LCS completely rodent free though? Or is that more to do with how you plaster and seal it?
I am planning to clad one side of my LCS with batten board rather than plaster - which might be make it more open to the critters if they happen to like it.
If it is an issue at all - what about including powdered lime in to the LCS mix to discourage vermin? This would surely also inhibit moulds which can also be a problem when slow drying.
Anyone tried adding lime to LCS? And has anyone had
experience with vermin ?
Thanks so much for any help, super appreciated :)
Charlie
