Found this great read on the Lhoist Group in the UK. They have developed a building material made from hemp, water and lime that is seven times stronger than concrete.
"The versatile substance can be used for flooring, wall construction and roof insulation. Hempcrete is reportedly fireproof, waterproof, makes for a good insulate and doesn't rot when used above ground. Manufacturers claim the material is 100 percent recyclable and can be used as fertilizer after demolition."
Pretty awesome sounding stuff if you ask me. Take a look at their website!
