Anyone know of a good source for rice hulls near Eastern Kentucky? http://www.appropedia.org/Rice_Hulls_in_Construction Suppose I could use leafs temporarily instead of mortar to fill the cordwood gaps. Maybe hay. Not a lot of agriculture around here. Most food gets shipped in like the foam 4x8's at Lowes, and people build houses on the arable flat land in the valley's since Walmart feeds them.
