Does anybody have any experience with sustainable building using bamboo or other natural material? If so, please do share your experience here, as well as post any interesting links and resources with good information!
In front of my friend's house, some people cut loads of bamboos to clear the land for building, and they were just gonna burn it, so I mentioned I would gather them instead and keep for myself. I was thinking of using the bamboos to build things, house, furniture, whatever, though I got no experience with it. Im waiting to see if someone with such expertise shows by, but in the meanwhile im just gathering these huge bamboos and puttinig them together lined up, a few cms away from the floor by resting them on two other parallel bamboos. Ive been reading about people that to treat, boil it, or soak in boric acid, or soak in diesel, but nothing so far seemed sustainable or doable so far in my situation. Does anybody have any tips regarding how to treat a bamboo (or how to keep it well in the meanwhile) ?
