Even with 3 inches of packing and sawdust, leaves etc, the R value is
inferior to just 1 inch of XPS insulation.  With modern innovations, we get
R=10 for an entire deep box and roof of poly/xps pre cut perfectly for
langstroth frames for $50.  That may not be the most "eco friendly".  But
for the equivalent insulation value of 10 inches of wood, I think the
eco-tradoff is worth it.
