Cob: Cob Earthship? Would it work?

[Darel Henman]

I believe that some of the earthship builders have used this method when
they built their homes.

Find the earthship group or maybe find something in   
http://www.earthship.org

I would somehow prepare the tires first to enable a good keying in of
the cob.
