Subject:
[Strawbale] use of ashes in clay plasters and/or floors

Hi all in a debate on the
Spanish list serve, talking about "insulating" clay floors,
the following observation was made:
"Otra pregunta: no sé
si en la capa de aislamiento se podría añadir además ceniza?. Sé que la
ceniza se utiliza como muy buen aislante en hornos de barro tanto en la
solera del horno como mezclada con el barro (yo mismo la he empleado).
Sería una posibilidad de reutilizar un residuo sobretodo la gente que
produce cantidades importantes (chimeneas, cocinas económicas,
estufas...)."
"one more question: I
don't know if in the insulation layer (of the clay floor) it would be
possible to add ashes? I know that ashes are frequently used as good
insulation in clay ovens-both in the floor of the oven and in the clay.
Would it be possible to re-use a residue (ashes) that many people
produce in important cuantities?
note: here in spain a lot
of people still use wood-burning stoves and ovens, as well as
fire-places...
Any thoughts or
comments?
