Why do you require a large concrete base?
What's the point of using an eco-friendly material like straw bales on top of an
eco-unfriendly material such as concrete?
How about an earth floor, or limecrete if you
really need something solid?

Subject: [Strawbale] Concrete Base -
foundations question??
Hi,
I am planning on building a straw
bale stable block which requires a large concrete
base.
Does anyone have experience of
creating suitable foundations for straw bale walls when incorporating a large
concrete base. The problem I see is trying to make the foundation
suitably breathable for the bales while making the foundation sit within the
surrounding base?
Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards
Simon.
