Michael,
I have read at one of the compressed earth block sites,  that the best
mortar to use is a slurry of the same material out of which the blocks
themselves are made.

As for thickness of the mortar layer I don't now, but I got the
impression that not much was needed using a slurry of the same materials
as the earth compressed block itself.

Do you know if semi-cured compressed earth blocks can be used, if you
only build a few feet a day or so?
