Someone in my family built his house into the side of a hill.
This is why you can have a thick forest growing on a hillside, but if you remove the trees you're gonna get some nasty mudslides the next time it rains as there's no longer any tree roots there to keep the mud in place.
That said, it does serve as protection from air raids too. 👌
I cannot be a good idea to have mud over your head.
Grass could also grow naturally on clay tile roof which last for centuries, if you don't wash it, birds will shit on it until grass and moss start to grow there, just like on cliffs.
It's one of those old forgotten technologies used to achieve insulation before insulation was sold as blocks of asbestos and later on just blocks of asbestos free insulation.
