How to achieve a good plaster base without any additional board, #plasticfree etc. Do you recognize the tool?
This #strawbale panel can be directly plastered after trimming. E g. with #earthplaster to achieve airtightness for a healthy #passivehouse.

Wow, you plaster on straw without any extra product or plastic? How hard is it to plaster a straw bale wall?
It's easier if you use a small trowel & a fat earth (clay rich) or lime plaster mix. 1st coat can provide 30+ minute fire rating in Germany. #howtostrawbalebuilding (<-click for more info)

My resolution for 2026 is to no longer dominate the terms #strawhouse #strawbuilding #earthbuilding #howtostrawbalebuilding, etc. I won't post less, but more of you will have to build, renovate, talk about the best available climate and resource conscious technology for retrofits and new buildings.

Workshop fun, pre loading a load-bearing 'Nebraska style' #strawhouse with a palette of earth bricks. (Oldest and still inhabited houses >100 years in the US). Window frames are floating until the wall is end-compressed. More under #howtostrawbalebuilding if you show interest.

1/5 preparation of the earth with -some- clay and coarse aggregates in it. Moist not wet, earth moisture. Cover with tarps during breaks.

Yes, I've promised to migrate the #strawbuilding thread with millions of views but very few likes from X to bluesky. I think its more adequate to do it under the #strawhouse + #howtostrawbalebuilding hashtags.
Bear with me the it's coming and tag me please for buildings with #plants.

Ok here's the deal, at 10% of followers on Twitter; here (300), I'll move the straw house thread to bsky or make a skeet guide on how you can do straw building anywhere and without much experience and investment. You decide.
