What's more, it's fun, because the technique is easy to learn and easy to do yourself. And the resulting living spaces are unusually quiet and comfortable.The Straw Bale House describes the many benefits of building with straw bales:super insulation, with R-values as high as R-50good indoor air quality and noise reductiona speedy construction processconstruction costs as low as $10-per-square-footuse of natural and abundant renewable resourcesa better solution than burning agricultural waste straw, which creates tons of air pollutants
