EarthBags - Ever Heard of Them?
They have been around for a long time. People at first just used large grain "feed bags" left over from feeding your livestock... Filled those bags with DIRT, used those large bags of dirt like a brick, and laid down a row of bricks; tamp down that row of bags, stack another layer of bags on top and stagger them like bricks; until your walls are finished.
Here are a few resources, but a simple google search will get you going of course. And watching these things made as a timelapse on youtube is a blast!
