Can I use FireVaultFileVault only for specific folders?

Can I set up FireVaultFileVault to encrypt only specific folders inside of my Home folder but not the whole Home folder?

I want to do this because it's not very convenient for me to encrypt the wholeentire Home folder because it's too large and there is no place for encrypted data, and it's also not convenient for me to keep all those files out of my Home folder.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: if it not possible, what are the other usable ways of encryption?
