The Inakahome team tackles the main living room wall. A lattice of bamboo and reed is placed into the wall frame, and then filled with mud/sand/straw mixture. Learn more at: http://www.inakahome.com or read the blog http://blog.inakahome.com

  • Bamboo sticks are dry and treated(borax as far as I know) and devoid of any nutrient for bacteria or fungus. They will therefore not rot. Most of the material you can see is Reed rather than bamboo.

  • The trowel used is not suited to this kind of work.

  • Air compressor 2 jet lines one water one dry mix that meet after the nozzle and are shot into place. I used this on my earthship.

  • If I was you I would use an 11 X 4 1/2' trowel, plastering with a brickie trowel is slow and tedious, they are not really designed for that kind of work. I would also get something to use as a platform for my plaster mix and have it risen from the ground. But hey that's just me, you do whatever you are comfortable with.

  • Bamboo lathing is not a good idea. What are you going to do when it (being an organic material) rots?

  • What's the more traditional way? This is the traditional way, this method has been used for centuries and all over the world!

  • you could have done this the traditional way witch would have been much quicker stronger and more pleasing to the eye.
