@highsidecrash If the bales got wet, you could start the decomposition cycle.

...and it'll burn to the ground in .30 seconds flat. I don't care what it "claims"
-
@highsidecrash yes, and I would think it would emit low level methane gas. Global warming is a myth.

I have personally seen houses like this shrink and rot
-
@BrianB9663 NO they don't. Given, as previously stated, these houses have been around over 150 years in the states and are still inhabited, is ample proof to the contrary. Straw has a moisture content of 4-6%, sealed within the plaster coating, it remains constant. As with any other building it requires maintenance, The straw doesn't rot or shrink. But they must be properly constructed, as with any other building.
Open your eye's and your mind.

@highsidecrash Considering there are hundreds of straw bale homes scattered around Kansas,Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming that are over 150 years old and still inhabited, I would say,,,, no.

this is dumb, live in a house that will rot away and shrink

First off, I wasn’t being an asshole it was just a simple question. I have a decent understanding of how compost works, hence the reason I asked. Straw is commonly used a carbon (brown) especially around here. But continue being an asshole, that’s exactly what we need more of. And by the way moron it is spelled “it’s”.

@highsidecrash nope, learn how compost works. its painfully stupid what you asked there.

Wouldn’t the straw start to decompose similar to a compost pile? Just wondering...
