你有沒有考慮作出的建議,國際人居? 我認為這將是一個自然的傳統棍建造的房屋有少數森林資源在全球範圍內的地區。 許多國際構建項目,有來自世界各地的志願者,所以你會蔓延全球的技能。

我工作的建築技師/設計師,我認為稻草建設有巨大的潛力在南非。 南非雖然是硬為首的一點點(我應該知道,我就是其中之一),他們奮鬥定型。 nontheless如果我能得到我的手,嚴重的介紹研討會上,我像一隻熊有像他們說的。 我這麼有信心,我想建設自己的房子,並使用它為我所設想的業務回骨有關的可能性。
它將主要目的是在“發展”在SA的市場,而且在認真綠色頭腦。 大家都知道SA有grevious住房問題。 這裡有可能是一個解決方案的一部分。

這正是思想。 如何幫助主要的住房問題。 我真的希望我們可以成為現實使車間,並提出這項向前。 我愛以及從事國際人居理念。 我敢打賭,我們可以結婚兩個層面的積極性,得到的東西完成。

一些excelent的意見和建議。
我該genterman,安德魯談到,SA(30 000)與許多小農蔗農的工作,很想探索使用甘蔗作為纖維材料可分為一些保稅磚的形式納入生物的可能性。 工程主要在農村地區considdered將是一輪“rondavel茅草屋頂的類型。 有一個需要進一步保留文化建設,結合耐用的材料,是“綠色”和生態友好。 我REALY喜歡涉及人居理念。 這將是巨大的,如果我們能夠贊助安德魯訪問和傳輸的一些技巧和經驗的機會。
2009年3月6日下午1:00
我認為這成功的關鍵是運動將接受由地方領導管理。 當你具備專業知識,他們將不得不接觸和支持。 在我的社區有一所學校,為8-12個月內,了解合作社的國際學生,小額貸款等,重點是比物理發展的社會運動,但它很容易有健康中心和學校如果有一個地方的人來滿足。 這所學校,Coady,可能有一些重要的資源的http://www.coady.stfx.ca以及在SA的聯繫。
2009年3月6日下午01:41
大學可能是一個好地方,以及連接。 一些大學的社區外展計劃,包括那些在鄉鎮社區(我是這樣一個計劃在伊麗莎白港大學)。
此外,一些非政府組織可能在strawbale項目感興趣。

大家好。
我根據在南非,一直很感興趣,在建設稻草回家,因為我相信我們有一些最理想的條件。 我歡迎稻草建設研討會,會很感激,如果一個車間的組織。 關於安德魯走出最初的車間。 我相信,通過戶外雜誌,當然可以填補capacity.In其實他很可能在全國各地有多個課程。
可能我也建議您發布網站,說明如何建立太陽能采暖等,我相信它會吸引更多人到您的網站,和全面的方式履行綠色。

安德魯感謝液壓石灰的反應。 似乎我將不得不使用熟石灰,水硬石灰。 您請求人在南非assit方面,有相當多的球員非常熱衷和有關strawbale建設嚴重。 我同意與亞當,但問題是,我們還是老樣子有一些硬的戶主南非,不有關的strawbale建設優勢covincable。 我試圖去goverment的人需要的所有優點covinced proccess。 我allso涉及一個傢伙已經建立在Northan開普敦和其他房子以及。 我們將在短期內滿足。 到目前為止,我曾經歷過的,我會說,如果我們REALY要改變思想,在南非缺乏知識,我們必須安排一個與你在南非舉辦講習班,以形成一個戰略前導。 我非常熱衷約strawbale建設和我已經從你身上學到什麼。 我仍然與我為braai和項目拉帕布希是非常nicly。 唯一的問題是,我們需要理清的石灰。 我理解的重要性,呼吸,因此,我們需要理清熟石灰與沙的比例。 請告訴我什麼2,3.5和5液壓石灰手段,可能,這將有助於我得到正確的熟石灰。 老一輩建設使用的石灰,但很清楚,他們是不是用最新的知識和呼吸SENCE我們正在談論familiare。 那裡的人請幫助與使用權的熟石灰。 Barnie問候,南非

我興奮和這個主題有關的通信水平,我願意做一個研討會,以幫助在SA。 讓我們看看如果我們不能做到這一點。 也許有這向前推,並填補了盡可能多的當地人民的好辦法。 也許有一種方法把成本降下來,從而使更多的可用。 我願意以降低或消除我正好有機會來了,服務的費用。 我需要有人支付我的方式和照顧我,一旦我有......讓我們繼續討論!
2009年3月8日,1:40上午
你的快速反應,使得它更容易加快東西。 太謝謝你了。 由於經濟不景氣等,這將是很難找到贊助商,你來向SA,從我的身邊,我不會是能夠資助這樣的事件,但托尼·巴特利特或亞當也許可以幫助或知道有人在SA同樣的感覺,因為我們這樣做是願意贊助,並得到涉及。 托尼,馬林和亞當您好,我是從比勒陀利亞和很高興聽到你的。 希望有人在SA讀金融。 我REALY一樣渴望,我們需要得到安德魯在這裡。 安德魯與建設有問題,但我們這裡的SA可以克服,一旦你在這裡。 最重要的,它必須是低成本住房。 為palimeworks謝謝,我會與他們聯繫在早晨的第一件事。 電力是未來的優先級低的成本housing.Greetings Barnie

有幾個稻草的家園,現在在南非已經做了很多的地面工作有聯繫的人是安迪·霍恩(建築師)在開普敦。
http://www.ecodesignarchitects.co.za
我們將在開普敦和內羅畢今年晚些時候推出。 如果有人需要安迪的聯繫方式給我發電子郵件johnatglassford.com.au。
我們也正在肯尼亞稻草研討會,目前正在與肯尼亞政府說話。 在撒哈拉以南非洲地區的住房狀況是可怕的,需要稻草,我同意。 然而,作為非洲的一個實現,除非稻草被視為高檔產品,由歐洲人所使用,那麼它將是一種強買強賣。
隨時聯絡稻草捆在南非的照片我,如果他們有任何使用。 您還可以閱讀關於安迪·霍恩在不知道哪個版本的最後一根稻草。

您好Barnie,與拉帕的好運氣。 聽起來像它即將很好。
雖然我不知道安迪·霍恩本人來說,我知道他。 我也知道,他還撰寫了關於這個問題,最近他替代的施工方法上的工作贏得了國際大獎。 約翰格拉斯福德,你可以糾正我,如果我錯了,這個信息。
約翰的“強買強賣”的問題上的言論是非常真實的。 只是簡單的人沒有像稻草建設的決定的信息。 特別是在南非。 幸運的是,綠色浪潮是性感的時刻和能源成本飆升在南非,也許整個世界。 因此,如何利用一切對我們有利的東西,使市民,建築師和goverments更多的了解和稻草建設開放?
的地方,如澳大利亞,美國和歐洲也許,這已經不客氣,我們也許可以使用一些在這些領域使用的“市場營銷”。
如果我們開始對話與南非的綠色建築委員會

人類棲息地,南非的goverment和安德魯,安迪和約翰這樣的專家。 我們甚至可以打大對非洲的打擊,如果我們能夠正確地構造它,並獲得了一些通話。
這豈不是巨大的有安德魯,安迪和約翰這樣的人在一起嗎? 相互學習和教別人呢?
讓我們看看如何resourcefull,我們可以用這個。

良好的思維隊友,我相信,不知怎的,我們都會聚在一起,做一些積極的工作在非洲。 那些需要住房大多不具備很多的空間來建立。 事實上thsoe誰最需要居住在鄉鎮和溢價空間。 這將需要大量的思想,正如你可能知道,腐敗盛行。
我知道腐敗,因為它花了我一次,只是為了讓我的駕駛執照,我16歲。 在肯尼亞的最後一趟高速公路巡邏,對每一個路障的起飛。 重新在住房方面的腐敗行為,我得到了一個眼色,在肯尼亞的一點頭重新建設。 眨眼是說,你建我一個漂亮的房子,將給予點頭!
所以這不是一件容易的事,我們走上。 然而,需要的是巨大的。 大量的秸稈,在南非和肯尼亞。 也無國界的建設者,新墨西哥,喬·肯尼迪在南非做了一些稻草工作。 我將跟隨他不久的一天。
我們參觀了在南非的許多鄉鎮還去肯尼亞,在內羅畢的瑪薩瑞貧民窟度過時間:
http://theork.com/?m=200803
我其他的帽子是扶輪社及以上的網站會給你一個想法的條件和我們正在做一些的孤兒,現在12萬在撒哈拉以南非洲。 孤兒需要以上所有的住房。
用稻草包的偉大住房,為非洲的潛力是巨大的。 The road will be a hard one but well worth it in the end. Let us keep talking and thanks Andrew for the opportunity to discuss this here on your web site.
一切順利。

Hi Adam and John. Thanks or your response.We share the same feelings about green and strawbale buildng and I believe we together can make a difference. John I certainly would like to see the photos and anything els that can provide us with more information and knowledge. Adam I also have the Green Building Councel idea but we need to be armoured with experience and professional knowledge for this and that is where I support your idea to get people like Andrew, Andy and John together. That is also why I said we need financial support for such a workshop. Do you guys perhaps have friends who is willing and prepare to come on board for this very important matter. This is also an invitation to anyone who is interested in this project and can make a positive contribution. Greetings Barnie.
March 11th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
As a South African myself, I have been very enthusiastic about straw bale construction and its possibilities for South Africa. My husband and I hope to some day build our own straw bale house (although we now live in the USA). Andrew's wealth of knowledge has been a great source of information and inspiration to us!
Spreading the knowledge of straw bale construction in South Africa would be wonderful, and I believe could be very helpful in providing cost-effective housing for people in townships. Habitat for Humanity has been building houses around the country, specifically in Cape Town and Kwazulu-Natal. I think the people at Habitat will be able to provide valuable information regarding the housing crisis and how to approach this overwhelming problem. However, space is an issue and with straw bale construction typically taking more space, this would have to be carefully designed. But it has been done in Japan which has very little space!
As far as spreading the enthusiasm of straw bale construction among South Africans other than the poor, I believe there will be great interest. However, until now it has not been made known, and little or no literature is available to the people. Education and exposure will go a long way. I have spread the word among family and friends and know of a few houses around Cape Town that are owner-built straw bale houses.
Also, contacting an architecture/landscape architecture department at a university (eg University of Cape Town) would be a good idea.
Clarity is needed regarding the focus of Andrew's workshop, because if I look at the above comments, it looks like there are two different goals being discussed, one being the housing problem regarding the poor, and the other, spreading straw bale construction knowledge to South Africans who want to build their own straw bale homes.
In general, South Africa has perfect weather and lots of straw. South Africans, I believe, will welcome a workshop to learn the techniques of straw bale construction. Our country will be happy to receive you, Andrew!
March 11th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I think Lisette raises a good point about focus. It is easy for us to talk about all of the impacts we would like to make and I don't, in any way, suggest that such talk is not a powerful thing to do. I am a strong believer in the power of thought and manifestation. That said, i would like to see us come together with some specific ideas of how to move forward and then see if any one of you/us has the desire to step up and start the ball rolling.
I am a firm believer in “both/and” as opposed to “either /or.” What this means to me is that we can both teach people how to build with bales and spread the word about SB construction at the same time. I believe that a hands on workshop would be a great asset for people who want to build their own house and that the same workshop could be a marketing point for spreading the concept to new people who may not have previous knowledge of the construction method.
As I have said, I would gladly donate a week of my time to teaching if my travel and board are paid for. I am not in a financial position to pay my own way. I hope the ideas keep coming and that specific action is created out of this conversation.

G ' day Lisette
Well said.
I have no problems with anything that has been said so far. As I said earlier we hope to be in South Africa and Kenya sooner than later. I am also talking with Kenya at the moment re straw bale housing.
As soon as I know when we are likely to go back to Africa I can plan a workshop or three. If anyone wants to join us no worries. What I propose is to run a paying custom workshop for the Kenyan Government followed by subsidised or free workshops for those that need it most, this is in Kenya.
When this happens I will do my best to coordinate the visit to Kenya with one to South Africa as well. I also have a lot of Rotary work in both countries to do for AIDS orphans. Including a medical care centre in Hout Bay not out of straw bales though.
Keep talking you have my commitment which has always been there since I met Mama Amelia Poswa in Cape Town who wanted a straw bale orphanage for her 96 orphans. However the problem in those days was the Cape Town City Council.
I will do my best to keep up on this discussion.
Barnie I have plenty of photographs of various buildings that we have constructed over the past 13 years on our web site and many more not up on our web site. Have a look around and let me know what you want and I will send them to you.
All for now and let us keep talking.

March 13th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
I have been keen on this for Africa. It just makes total sense, as grass they have in abundance. Because I am long involved in projects in South Sudan and Liberia, I agree that because it is not perceived as acceptably western that limits its enthusiastic reception especially those who are hide bound traditionalists. However, there are people who are unafraid…they know it is cutting edge, appropriate, and therefore worth doing.
I vote that the project be a funded workshop. That way community folks can participate and enter in without having to pay bucks they simply do not have, and the workshop experts can cover their expenses.
We have sites bought and permission given to build a school/cafeteria/auditorium with the strawbale in Liberia and South Sudan, but we lack the experienced builders.
Currently I am pursuing funding to create a new Strawbale industry in Africa through the EU. I would like to partner with folks like Andrew and John and so if the project qualifies, we can write a through proposal for the funds needed. I think the one I foresee for South Sudan needs some kind of a portable Baler that is mechanical. Am I right? Is there such an animal?
Our connections in Liberia and South Sudan allow us to be able to get right to the folks on the ground, and avoid having to go through the government with any funding, but there will be huge interest in whatever we do.
So anyone interested in South Sudan or Liberia if we get funding? My 501c3 would not allow me to apply for South Africa where I do not personally have a relationship with a trusted partner and organization. Kenya is, however, a possibility.

良好的工作伴侶。 我們將幫助,因為你已經知道的興趣。 所涉及的時間將是幾個星期,我把它是有效的。 讓我知道你提出什麼樣的一年的時間設置東西。 我有沒有問題,您的建議資助研討會。 如果我能配合它與肯尼亞和南非的訪問(無日期),會更容易。
隨意在任何時候,我對Skype時如果使用任何聯繫我。 蘇丹南部將是一個真正的挑戰,但是我為它。 此外,利比里亞將是一個很好的地方建立稻草。
最打包機是便攜式的,需要一台拖拉機操作。 我精通打包為我所用生活做一次。 在肯尼亞高原有大量種植小麥,我相信我們可以從那裡得到良好的包向蘇丹。 lLst時間,我是任何地方附近的蘇丹南部是沙漠附近的NFD的肯尼亞。
我們也正在開發一個移動的傾斜的秸稈面板工廠。 這些小組是8英尺×4英尺8英寸厚,可能是一個答案空間。 我們迄今取得的原型,它看起來很有希望。
總之,讓我們繼續談判。

剛剛評上的“需要”與“曝光”方面 -
南非可以從稻草捆建設中獲得巨大的利益。 該方法是合理的,是毫無疑問的。 我們在南非所面臨的問題是,最窮的窮人生活在*磚*房子有一種固定的。 這是南非最大的潛在障礙。 關鍵是要建立房屋*看*像磚房,目前正在提供優越的舒適程度。 當前低成本的房子通常建的混凝土塊,這使得嚴寒,一般保溫性差。
我們生活在一個農業社會,我們的長遠目標是要建立我們的家園,作為一個“櫥窗”,其他人都熱衷於嘗試“新事物”。 潛力的重點領域之一,是“勞動屋” - 如果我們能夠說服並協助少數農民用稻草建造他們的工作人員住宿,我們開始建立的家庭,可以感受和體驗了該方法的好處,反過來給他人交談,使草編包家搶手的選擇。 我們最終想要做我們自己的財產,就像亨利,約65平方米,每的生存空間,共享一個中間的牆,半獨立單位。

Hi Andrew, if we can raise a sponsor for your air ticket, you can stay with us for free, I refer to one of your comments in March, where you mentioned you are willing to lower or remove your fees if we could get you out here and a place to stay, well the place tostay is here for you and the church a project to get started on for the workshop, there is so much interest, why don't we who are already eager just get together and go for it instead of waiting for some grand scheme to materialise from wherever, like the Nike ad says “JUST DO IT” and strangely enough things have a mysterious way of working out! We will have to wait for summer because we need fresh dry bales and everything is wet and muddy now, but we can get together in the meantime and do the planning for such an event, lets get our behinds into gear, what do you think, instead of just talking and taliking and sounding marvelous and grand, start getting our hands dirty. With the Lord nothing is impossible to those who dare to believe!!

That's great Karen. 謝謝。 This all sounds good to me. Here's what I would like to suggest. It's something I am doing in Guatemala as well. We offer the workshop to a group of say 20-25 people. Half of those spots are held open for local folks whom I would teach to build their own, sustainable housing. The other half are held for paying participants who want to travel to SA and learn from me in that setting. I use the money raised through the paying participants to get myself there and support my other costs (I'd love to bring my family so my kids could have this experience as well). If, for whatever reason, I don;t get any paying participants, then the “held” spots would be given to more local people who would attend for free and then my travel expense would need to be paid by a fund raiser or some other idea. 你覺得呢?

Hi Karen
It has been a while since I contributed to this discussion. Have been busy with my day job of earning and income
but I have been following discussions.
I have found a strawbale building course being conducted in JHB on the 25th July if you are interested. See this link:

Hi Henry
Thank you so much for the info. Yea that is our problem too, the daily grind to earn a living, which I do from Landscaping and my very new little restaurant that i run from my renovated barnhouse.
I have been in contact with Martin Eweg and Lanie Olivier (who lives quite close) and she has made contact with somebody in Gauteng who is prepared to come down to the Cape to do a course here for us, we spoke about it yesterday and hopfully we will have something going soon and the church will stand in all its glory at the end of the year or Jan 2010. Martin is also quite keen to assist and has contacted Habitat for Humanity, so the ball is rolling…
Hope to meet you someday.

安德魯。 Along the line somewhere you spoke about mixing the sand with NHL. I cannot remember whether you said the playground sand must be a washed sand and clear of particles and whether you said it must be natural sand and not be washed. All Playground sand is not neccesarily washed and clean.
Karen. You can also contact Allister and Sonja at 0835657384 INSYNCH. SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLIGIES in Muldersdrift Johannesburg. They do Straw Bale building and other techniques.See there Web. Greetings.Greetings.

I have remained in contact with some people on this site and the suggestion is now that Karen begin preparing this as a project with a little help from some friends. It is proposed taht the church/chapple be built in early 2010, and that we considder signing GREEN celebrities up for a fee to cover the cost of getting Andrew out to SA. I have not had suitable response from H for H but will continue with the request.
Please notify Karen if you wish to be a part of the building team so she can put a contact list together.
I have another friend in CapeTown Lisa who is keen to get involved and maybe she and Karen can talk.
July 29th, 2009 at 9:23 am
barnie,
The sand needs to be clean of debris, so washed is a good idea. It should be sharp sand if possible and of several different grades. Here in the States, I use concrete sand rather than mortar sand as it is more graded and sharp. Play sand works as well as long as there are several grades within it. 祝你好運。

KAREN,
It is clear, there are people that is more then willing to help. Keep us posted.

您好!
Wow what an epic marathon discussion we have stumbled upon – how have things developed since the last posting on 5 August?
We are situated in the Eastern Cape in South Africa and have been working on plans for an Eco-Centre for some years now. We have just recently moved from Port Elizabeth to East London and are in the process of trying to find a site to locate the centre. The plans have essentially been completed, but we need to find a new site. You can read about it on our website: http://www.goinggreen.co.za/gg-eco-centre.html . The team of architects we worked with (including Andy Horn from Eco-Design and Edwin from Dumani Architects re: the Didimala Lodge mentioned above – and others) will be very interested in this discussion – we will send a link to them as well.
We agree with many of the sentiments in this dialogue and also feel that these buildings must first be seen as “enviable” before they will be accepted. This has definitely been the case eg with the uptake of solar photovoltaic panels in the rural areas where this high-end item is seen as something you get when you can't have “real” electricity. We actually see this as the main idea behind the Eco-Centre – to link the 1st and 3rd worlds – tourism, skills transfer, job creation etc. East London, being right on the edge of the developed and developing world is the ideal spot for such a centre.
Karen, we like the spirit there!
Please feel free to contact us! You are also very welcome to list the workshop on our website – no costs involved – there is an Upcoming Green Events section as Henry has already mentioned.

你好
I am an architect working in Cape Town and have been designing and building straw bale structures for more than 11 years now. My first was a house for Sandra Prinsloo in Veloerenvlei and was completed in 1998. My most recent project was in Barrydale and we did the baling in April. I have developed my own system that involves a dipping / pre-coating method that greatly sppeds overall construction and makes for a very solid construction.See under projects on our web site http://www.ecodesignarchitects.co.za I have verified over 40 Straw bale structures in nearly 30 different municipalities South Africa. I have written 2 manuals on the subject (available through our web site). Habitat for humanity know about Straw Bale and earth building but are unable to build any in South Africa due to the NHBRC (National Housing Building Regulatory Council, which all of their houses must be registered through. There is a real need for government attitudes to change towards natural building materials. If someone could fund the certification of Straw bale construction through the Agreement Board or specifically in the Natiuonal Building Regulations then the NHBRC would be forced to accept such alternate construction methods. National building regulations currently only cater for natural building methiods through its “Deemed to Satisfy” clause. The truth of it is not in the interests of big buisness like the brick and cement inductries to free up the market for people to build as we used to – with locally available natural materials.
thoughts for now.

Hi Bale Home Community
We live in a Game Reserve close to the Kruger Park in South Africa, we also have sugar cane farms that burn all their leaves off the cane. This of course effects the communities health out here. I am sure this is a natural waste and they are losing plenty of Rands by doing this…surely the leaves of the sugar cane can also be processed to create bails or bricks as mentioned. Perhaps people are not aware of the money that can be made as well as more job creation? Burning is quick and easy?? Also introducing bail homes here in the Game Reserves would be an excellent benefit to Nature Conservation in the Kruger Park as well as neighbouring Game Reserves. I would love to build a bail home here but not sure if I would get a home loan for the project. Bail homes are not recognised for some unknown illogical reason.

Greetings and thanks for writing. I hope that you are able to get funding for your project. There are several straw bale homes in South Africa, so it may not be as hard as you imagine. Let me know if you think I can help you.
July 16th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Hi there everybody.
By accident i found this blog/chats site, im also very interested in strawbale builings, so much that im currently busy building my own dubble story hous out of strawbales.
I have been busy fo almost an year and an half building it and as the fund become availble i continue, i have been enjoying working on my own house and to see it take shape is the best way of having fun i know off.
So my qeustion is this ive been doing an lot of reading up on all types of ways how to built and plaster the hous, but ive read that an lime plaster is the best so here is my qeustionhow do i mix the plaster since im useing hydraulic lime and sand , so what is the ratio and how thick should i plaster it and how long does it take to cure, and how strong is an lime plaster + what type paint must i use and can i ad oxide to the plaster.
Thanx

Hi Christo. Lime plaster is GREAT! Good choice. I use a mix of 2 sand:1 lime for the scratch coat and place it about 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick. Much of that thickness will be in the wall itself, filling gaps and low spots in the wall, so it may not stand off the wall a full 3/4″. Use only as much water as necessary to make the right consistency mix. The more water you use, the weaker the plaster will be. I like to pre mix my plaster, wrap it in plaster and then re-agitate it (re mix it without adding water) some 5-12 hours later. Then I put it on the wall. The same concept is true for the second coat (brown coat); however, the mixing ratio is different. I use 2.5sand:1 lime. For the finish coat, I use a premixed bag of plaster. You can use your own mix, just be sure that the lime you use is a weaker mix. That may mean using a little more sand (3:1) or using a weaker lime. For the natural hydraulic limes, they has a 2, 3.5 and a 5 with 2 being the weakest. I don't know if that is available to you or not where you live. You can use a lime wash for the painting or add color directly to the final mix if you prefer.
好運!

大家好。 I've continued the conversation about coming to South Africa and I have a gentleman who seems keen to host. He is in the process of looking for straw. He is located at (-26.447211, 27.932922) on Google Maps which is just North of Vanderbijilpark and South of Soweto. It's in the country between the two. If you have any straw sources for him, please leave a comment here. We would love to make this workshop a reality this year if we can!
December 1st, 2010 at 10:56 am
Hi, Straw Bales are relatively easy to find any Horse Feed supplier will be able to provide. In addition there are several farmers who regularly advertise in the afrikaans version of Farmers Weekly. Should you not be able to get in the area near the Vaal contact Tina at Bags and Bales (see horse Trader magazine) and she will be able to assist.
You may need to have the bales more tightly bound but Bags and Bales should be able to assist you.

I have been reserching on building a straw bale house now for about 2 years. I find the environment in south africa for this very unfriendly and frustrating. I have suggested that the government get on board and kill 2 birds with one stone. Subsidise our wheat farmers who are suffering because of cheap south american imports by buying there bales and use this renewable resource for things like schools, community and clinics. as you can expect, this has fallen on deaf ears.
March 16th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Geoff. Sorry to be one of those deaf ears! I have several blog comments that I simply did not have time to approve and respond to. I know what you mean about it being hard to get the word out. We have tried here in the States and Canada for years and although some hear us loud and clear, others ignore the incredible aspects of this construction technology. It is very frustrating indeed. DON'T GIVE UP! Do what you can in your local community and take it to the larger community little by little. It is our voices that eventually will be heard as history has shown.
March 29th, 2011 at 10:13 am
Are there any definite plans for a straw bale workshop in South Africa yet? I'm on a farm in central South Africa and would like to build myself a cottage. I would like to use the main house (after some renovation) as a guest house and for accommodation for spiritual retreats I plan to host. If there are no definite plans for a workshop yet, which of your dvd's would you suggest for somebody who has to learn from scratch?
Thanks,
Elmarie
July 2nd, 2011 at 1:00 am
I'm currently writing a book on eco-living in a particular community in South Africa, and there will be a chapter on straw-bale housing. There will also be a section on useful organisations, websites and further reading, so if you have any particular recommendations, I'd appreciate the help. The book is aimed at those who are already a little way down the path of environmental awareness, but it is not a technical manual and I hope it will stimulate interest in this building technique.

我的名字是克里斯托庫切和我是一個在非洲在西北大學,波切夫斯特魯姆校園災害研究中心的研究員。 從博客,我已經注意到,與會者都渴望有稻草捆建設作為促進在南非的替代建築技術大學參與。 在這方面,我們的中心是非常有興趣參與(甚至推動這一進程向前推進)。 我們看到這個項目作為一個優秀的解決方案,不僅南非目前的住房困境,而且還作為一種手段,以減少社區貧困和整體災害風險。
從閱讀的博客,很顯然需要被匯集在一起,討論未來稻草建設有關的事宜中,幾個角色球員。 我們作為一個研究中心,佔盡地利與護理,美國國際開發署,聯合國/人居署和國際開發署等國際捐助機構推動這個過程中,由於我們接觸。 我們也有幾個政府部門的接觸。 在這方面,我想知道如何在博客上有興趣的參與者將是熱衷於參加小型會議在關於這一問題的大學嗎? 至關重要的是,我們得到關鍵的角色球員互相交談,採取嬰兒的步驟,使我們共同的夢想在南非現實負擔得起的秸稈捆建設。 如果你是熱衷於這樣一個小型會議的想法,請給我在電子郵件christo.coetzee @ nwu.ac.za
一旦我們有足夠的興趣,在這樣的會議要解決,我們就可以開始制定具體的主題。
PS。 就我個人而言,我感到非常激動,這個項目的可能性。 並期待著這個問題上獲得更多的知識。
