Given that bamboo has a high silca content like hemp, could it not be used as a 'filler' in hempcrete or as I'd call it bamcrete
The reason I ask is that in my country (New Zealand) the rules for growing your own hemp are extremely long winded and difficult. Also the way I see it bamboo wouldn't require the stripping of the outer fibre like hemp does. I'm not inteested in making hemp fibre, just a house.
There are people making and selling hemp shiv in NZ, but at a distance that makes the advantages of it rather less.
Any comments / impressions / observations welcome.
