[Strawbale] Concrete Base - foundations question??

[Kurt Splittdorf]

if you want to use concrete, you should think about the iron that you 
usaly us in the concrete. This iron can extremly  change the magnetic 
field of the earth!!! And i dont belive that this is good. Some people 
made experiments with straw fibres or littel metal fibres.

wish you all the best....
Kurt
