Hi Angliholic, I gather 'earthship' here is some sort of dwelling / house - is it right? Anyway, your sentence sounds awkward. Do you try to say that the walls of the house are made by packing the tires together and then covering them with mud?

I'm afraid that only 'earth' sounds good to me. Mud is wet, dirt is dirty, and soil is for growing vegetables.
