yes
> If yes, does the wall have to be wet when applying the clay plaster
It is allways adviced to wet a surface before applying earth plaster but 
it is not a total dissaster if you don't.
> and must there be a net applied before plastering?
A net is needed when the surface of the support is not regular or 
homogenous. If your wall is only stone and lime mortar (no wood for 
instance) netting would not have to be used. I like using a base coat 
using a high clay content soil with as much as chopped straw as I can 
get in so that it is easy to fill out uneven spots.

Bye,
