yes it will degrade, only if you don’t separate the walls from the ground with stone or a barrier, where it will soak up all the rain and if there’s no roof overhang to stop the rain hitting the house, that could degrade it a bit, but i’ve seen a few mud homes that don’t have any overhang and they seem to be fine as the walls don’t retain the moisture

and if the lime or mud plaster is damaged, it can be replaced without much effort

quoting nevent1q…0tnq

look at the exposed foundation walls 🤌🏼

one of the main reasons is to separate cob or natural materials from the ground as the cob will work as a wick and soak up a lot of unwanted moisture
