I plan to get creative and add whimsical thing to my garden. I hope to have a wonderful faerie garden full of magic and Zen in my yard.
This will keep me entertained during the hot months of summer .
Make sure you use rubber gloves if you try this your self. I have found several recipes and videos.
This look like so much fun.
Hypertufa containers
Recipe #1

3 quarts Portland cement, white or grey
2 1/4 quarts sand, white or grey
4 quarts peatmoss
1 1/2 quarts water

Mix the dry ingredients well. Slowly add water. This mixture doesn't contain as much water as a standard concrete recipe because hypertufa has a more open, porous texture. Therefore add water until the mix resembles a crumbly cookie dough. Press the mix firmly into the mold.
