Mud/clay walls are OK to support roof or act as insulator, but they are weak when you need to attach something to wall. Moreover, outer layers can laminate out of wall if they are stronger than wall itself, so you will need to use lime stucco to paint wall, which is soft enough.
To solve these problems with mud/clay walls, wood and straw are used. To date, G.R.E.B.[1] technology is most advanced, cheap, and easy to use.
