Hempcrete

[@hsnazm1164]

This video is a great example of summarized hemp housing subject You guys did an awesome job. Keep it up!

[@Reddog794]

1:12 This is the best physical example of the ratios I've seen. You guys did a great job.

the only thing i dont like about hempcrete is how most people are just turning i into mulch before mixing. why not splinter it? pulverize it to smaller particles so it creates an even stronger bond.

[@StephenKavanagh]

Brilliant simple explanation, well done!

I can see some applications for hemp crete but you know the rammed concrete builders will be working over time to discredit it while they continue to try to sell it as ‘green’. But when all is said and done, formed cob outperforms hempcrete and concrete on every important measure. Its load bearing where Hempcrete needs a timber frame, its fire,termite,damp,mould, vermin proof. Far more so than Hempcrete can ever hope to be. And unlike Hempcrete and Concrete it has been proven to last for centuries with very low maintenance and no loss of performance as long as you keep a good roof on it. Concrete is a nightmare. My biggest concern with hempcrete would be its reliance on a timber frame to maintain its integrity. Its an infill product really and should be named as such. The trouble is that over time the expansion and contraction of the timber frame will work against the Hempcrete infill and create gaps for Termites, insects, vermin, etc to attack the frame. This is the same problem as straw bale houses get and it starts even before the house is finished. With Earth building you have a product already available under your feet that cannot be broken down any further. Nature has already done that for you. You just mix it with water and pile it up. You will never have to worry about anything eating it, rotting it, burning it, breaking it down.

how about rammed earth, not concrete? :)

Very good information in this video over all. I learned a lot and it is a very cool substance. My main problem with this video is that I almost fell asleep a couple times. It was very boring and monotone in nature even though it had valuable information. One of the things this group did well was use a lot of helpful visuals that let the person viewing have a better idea on what it looked like and how it works. Good project over all.

@J.R. 48 Figured... you might want to redo the voice over, the info is great, the delivery not so much :)

[@10XRIEL]

@J.R. 48 A better mic, some more energy while reading the script, knowing it enough that it doesn't sound like you're reading a script.. but ya, more energy, the monotone is imho not helping.

[@10XRIEL]

@J.R. 48apologies, I thought you were the voice-over person asking for advice :) my bad.

[@wellness285]

Great comments on this video. Please post if it is a Hempcrete association? club? etc. Sign me up!!!!

[@SamJuiceFisher]

Very awesome, I'm trying to get this going in Portland also!

[@Thefirstbrady]

After researching this product further, it is superbly more reasonable to use hempcrete instead of concrete. HOWEVER, hempcrete is no where near as strong as concrete. As far as I can postulate, the market would be using hempcrete if not for this fact, the stigma around the plant, and overall availability. If the price was about 20% cheaper than concrete and the stigma was removed, we would probably see a lot more of this material being used today. Some of the market would still choose to use the more robust and stronger concrete with insulation. Anyway, pass the joint.

Brady Sutliff bullshit do some research and you will find it gets stronger as time goes by

[@m.infernal]

Hempcrete is not meant to replace concrete. I think the name "hempcrete" is not that great because it gives people this impression. It's purpose is for insulation and using it to build that walls of a home. Not to support the home.

[@kpoppaen8751]

I live on the east coast where hurricanes happen every year. That's what worries me even tho I want one of those houses lol! Sigh...

[@wboquist]

A question for the makers of the video: I am assuming that the lime that is mixed with the hemp shiv is slaked lime. If so, when it is claimed that hempcrete is carbon-negative, is the energy involved in the production of the slaked lime factored in?

[@DFero13]

Hemp grow worldwide, so it's very adaptable and resilient. It also grow and spread like (literally) weed and even grow much more faster than any tree in this world. So growing it is very easy and fast. The only reason it is still so expensive is because it is forbidden or limited permitted that the production of hemp is unnecessary pushed down, that result to low supply and medium/high demand. If it gets totally legal, that will result very high supply and high demand. It will become at least 50% cheaper than now.

[@FaithEBodle]

TRY TO SOUND A LITTLE BIT EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? PLEASE?? IT IS SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT BUT YOUR PRESENTATION OF IT IS BORING! STEP IT UP!

[@irish-medi-weed-grower5240]

was thinking exactly the same myself .

[@garyl.6758]

I think they sound really cool. :-)

[@xcal123]

he sounds stoned! I like it:)

[@CombrinkPierre]

Can hemp not be replaced with straw or hay? We don't have hemp in Uruguay

[@sandrab2422]

Sounds like a school project. I like the idea. Can this be bought in South America too?

[@anshumanvajpeyi7094]

Its an old technique how houses were made in india prior to british invasion who forced us to use cement to increase their revenue

[@BelindaLopezTexas]

What is the windstorm rating for coastal areas prone to hurricanes?

[@Projectdarksource]

You have excellent information and good video footage. What ruins this presentation is the mono-tone presentation. You need to be more alive and up beat, this is something to be excited about.

[@BenPrindle]

Was this for a school project? Great subject!

[@nikkospar4305]

Ben Prindle I have a feeling it was. Are you related to Matt Prindle? I’m subbed to him 😅

[@BenPrindle]

I am. Mr. Matt Man Mateo es mi hemano.

[@brandonmichaellynch]

sounds like Stephen Hawking hosting

[@kpoppaen8751]

What are the cons to hempcrete?

[@elizarobinrobinson4294]

Can you pour a hempcrete slab piped for geothermal heating and holding up 16 inch hempcrete walls?

[@randyfernandez8639]

How do I get it? Is the only question all some..

[@martiansurgery]

Do you know if hempcrete can be used to create the foundation of a house? Ordinarily concrete is the go to material. Is it a matter of building codes from city to city?

[@boboc5645]

The indicated that it can't be used underground, so no.

[@RealityGutPunch]

No and it doesn't have the same compressive strength as concrete.

[@glennhertel1165]

Multi Tasking. Well this will grow any were coca, opium Ect will grow. Should be more profitable, I know people just doing what they have to to survive, Because of what they got handed, Damage from this mess. You can't take all that out without replacing it with somthing, I think it will be more self sustaining, better profit Ect. we are not trying to leave people starving, in countries, even our own Neighborhoods. It will save the Trees espeally in our rain forests, help control global warming ect.

[@xxnotmuchxx]

why can it not be use under ground?

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

Hempcrete & Lime #1 USA Philadelphia Pa

[@SeaOtter65]

Nice but how much

[@pyramidbrickandstone2198]

It is not concrete, it does not even have common applications. It lacks portland cement and it is not structural.

[@anthonyman8008]

Pyramid Brick And Stone Hence framing members! Not meant to be structural! Negative carbon for print. Pest, mold, rot and fire resistant! Always hardens! R- value!

[@colinbateman8233]

I’d like to know the r value of your walls
