Response to straw bale constuction

I haven't had any direct experience with straw-bale construction but from what I remember in reading it real similar to what the second response recommended---cement over chicken wire. It used to be called stucco. It can be applied with a grooved straight trowel so a nice pattern can be built in. Be sure you like the pattern tho cause it will be there for the duration. I would think you'd be able to finish coat it with plaster tho for a finer, smooth finish if you prefer.
