[Strawbale] Locking bales in place to walls

[John Swearingen]

Actually, I'm not aware of a polystyrene spray foam.  The available foam,
used for insulating around door and window cracks, is quite different, and
considerably less healthy for the environment.

If the bale buildings in Nebraska on which the current revival of strawbale
is based can survive 100 years in existence without polystyrene foam to
"lock bales to the walls" and fill air voids, surely we can build a
strawbale building in the current century without using toxic products, and
still attain the same level of quality and durability as others have done
for centuries. 

Just a thought!
