Regarding the wicking -
We inquired with several local natural building consultants and we were 
advised against having cob in contact with metal when it can be avoided and 
instead made a mixture with lime and sand to act as a break between the 
foundation and the cob walls.  I could get precise ratio's of the mixture if 
anyone is interested.

It added the drying time but we were pleased to be able to use natural 
materials for this.
