I'd like to recommend a new book for the Books section:
Building with Hemp by Steve Allin, published by Seed press 2005,
ISBN 0-9551109-0-4,
Euro30+p&p direct from the Author at http://www.hempbuilding.comThis covers mainly the use of hemp (hurds) with lime to make “hempcrete” and hemp based plaster, with a brief mention of hemp fibre for insulation. I think it's the only book on the subject so would sit in both Professional and DIY categories but if a more technically detailed book came along it would be more DIY. Does anyone know of any other books covering the same subject area?

Anonymous'L'isolation Ecologique' by Jean Pierre Oliva, published by Terre Vivante is an excellent technical reference on ecological insulation materials and includes info on different forms of hemp insulation (isochanvre etc). It is however available only in French as far as I know…
