DCB - instead of solely using rammed earth method, I may consider packing the holes in the blocks with earthen material, instead of using insulation... dirt is free, and mortar isn't, so backfillling the holes with mortar probably isn't the best idea... mud, on the other hand, should help with insulation and heating/cooling cycles more than normal insulation anyway.
