What material is used for the insulation of these new eco lodges


I'm not sure as in the link ( http://www.torfarm.co.uk/ ) I can find mention of the eco roofing but I cannot see what the insulation is made of.
Here...........
They are clad in English cedar with environmentally friendly green roofs, one with a living sedum roof , one with cedar shingles and the other with slates made from recyled car tyres. They are fully insulated and each one has its own private hot tub on the south facing veranda

After thinking a bit I'd say that the answer is English Cedar
See post #4 from Skoff re lambs wool.I'll leave the answer up to each of us but after seeing Sfoff's answer it seems more probable than mine.

Please note, the prize must be taken in either the first two weeks in June or the last two weeks of September, subject to availability.

    Hi, I got the already entered message as well, although I haven't! It went a bit wobbly when I hit submit and nothing happened, so I pressed again and then got the message. I assumed that was why?!

    Don't think its a dupe - I don't recall seeing it before. Thanks for posting Weeowen :D

    You'll start to get confused using other sites:D
    I would have enough on trying to remember what I had entered on here were it not for the thanks button.Straying on other sites would be a mistake for me.
