[papercreters] footing for papercrete blocks

Question for the experienced,

I read that papercrete doesn't weather well next to water; hence its not structurally a sound idea to lay them directly on the ground.

So I guess the foundation footing and the first row of blocks would best chosen traditional concrete mix + cinder blocks, then papercrete atop of the first row on up.

Is this correct?
