non-electric heat

SArjuna
Straw bale houses can be heated very easily. "With a candle," people
say jokingly. Not quite that easily, but very, very easily. As fossil
fuels get scarcer, a passive-solar-heated straw bale house looks better and
better. Much cheaper to build, too.
Yes, I know y'all can't go out and build a house, but in a few more
years those who did may be sitting cozy in cold times.

Regards,
Shivani

Hi,

I saw very nice pics of those homes, plus info on how to build them in one of last year's Mother Earth News magazines. I couldn't help but wonder, tho.... wouldn't you have a mold problem with the straw inside the walls???? Having been raised on a farm, I remember straw mold and it wasn't pleasant.
