[papercreters] making a garden wall with papercrete

I was wonder any of you have made a garden wall with papercrete? Will be approximately 18 inch wide and six feet tall. I have made papercrete bricks to learn the process. If I made it with bricks will have to go back and put on a stucco coat because I want that smooth appearance. I was wondering about using a cob approach with papercrete? I will be capping it with clay tiles so should protect the wall if we ever get out of the present drought in Texas! 50 years ago I made adobe bricks from scratch and don't want to going that route. Just too heavy to deal with even as a teenager.
Look forward to hearing your comments.
