[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Scottydog I don't think coarse sawdust will really represent bagasse, as I recall the stuff was long and stringy, It clogged the boiler feeders something terrible. Maybe if you went to a store dealing in china you could get some of their packing straw and cut it. I think that would be realistic. As for wallboard, we tried that with a sugar cane plant in Jamaica without a lot of success. The problem was drying and bonding the bagasse. We gave up after 2 years. Have fun. [/quote]Didn't think about that, but you're absolutly correct, it was kinda stringy looking. Forget sawdust, go with straw as scottydog said, it probably is closer to the real thing.[:)]
