Since these are interior walls, have you considered using wattle and 
daub.
 Regardless I would think that if your floor was lined with 
plastic then other that some kind of footing you could just build 
your cob wall without worry about moisture from the ground.

Off subject but thought I'd throw it in anyway,
The heat and humidity makes it a bit rough to build here during the day 
and last night I went out and worked in the moon light. It was great. 
The gnats that are so annoying were not there and because I used only 
the moon light I did not attract a lot of other insects.  I will 
definitely add full moon nights to my work schedule. Of course 
somethings need full sunlight to do correctly.
