Mixing & Consumption Rates
For Cast walls, Mix 2 x 20kg of of binder with 1 bale of Hemp Shiv. Add approximately 30-40 Litres of water to achieve a semi dry consistency. 

For 1m3 of hempcrete you will need approximately 5 to 5.5 Bales of Hemp Shiv mixed with 10 bags of the Hemp Binder

Hempcrete can be mixed by hand, in a forced action pan mixer or a drum mixer.

Forced action pan mixer: Add the hemp first, start the mixer then add the binder. Once all the binder has been added and coated the hemp, pour in the water and mix until consistent.
Drum mixer: mixers with an adjustable angle wheel are recommended.  
Add the water first, then the binder and allow to mix, before adding the hemp. Mix for the shortest time possible to achieve a consistent mix. To avoid the semi dry mix sticking to the back of the drum, lower the drum angle down as soon as all the ingredients are in. For mixers without an adjustable angle wheel, you will need to manually tip the mixer forward and hold it in position.
