Stoker:
Class project cool idea.. I'll bet they'd have a blast.. take alot of pics I'd love to see them
Thanks Leroy
JW_Halverson:
The technique shown in the pic is "wattle and daub". Another technique is to mix the mud and straw and pack it in globs and blobs, smoothing it like it is modelling clay. That is called "cob construction". Do a search on Cob construction and see some cool hobbit looking houses. Might be kinda fun to build one of those if you lived where you wouldn't have to worry about meeting building codes or dealing with rain.
radius:
maybe you could make a sort of stick trellis to form it around, to act like rebar in concrete formwork
