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)

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.

You can do bale resizing by hand as well, by length is the easiest, because a straw bale consists of many flakes:

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.
