good pest barrier as well. When you're done with it, it should make
decent compost...

->What about some sort of manufactured "hardboard" siding? It was used in the
->Waterloo Greenhome. I've never used it, but it sounds great. Should be much stronger
->than vinyl, and it's made from so-called "waste" wood. Does anyone have any thoughts
->on this?
