Hemp + Lime + H2o mixed together make Fire, Mold, Termite-Proof, super-insulating, breathable, alkaline and energy efficient homes. And the price to build with hemp is around the same as regular construction with the added benefits of living in a healthier environment – better for you, your children and generations to come.
