I am not sure what it is called. It is a cement-like powder which is added to cement-based products to make them water-closed. It is used in building basements here!

Great work Jelle, it looks awesome! I saw that you cut yourself quite a bit. Around our area in hardware stores you can find aluminum mesh (it comes in big rolls and is usually around 30€, but you get like 50 times the mesh compared to what you used). The aluminum mesh isn’t as sharp, it isn’t as stable either but it is way finer. You can really shape it well without hurting yourself and it catches the cement very well, I’ve tried it!

Oh, wow, I'm loving these shapes. I've never seen anything like it; it is absolutely fantastic. What was the material you added to make the cement waterproof? Because the small mesh is so stiff and prone to cutting fingers, have you ever tried filling the holes of the largest mesh with something like papier-mâché before adding the concrete?

If it's fully enclosed by the waterproof cement, there shouldn't be an issue with freezing and expansion. If there are still occasional gaps in coverage, then yes I suppose you're right.

Have you tried hypertufa? Basically adding perlite and/or coconut coir to the cement mixture. The perlite will add beneficial aspects to the medium. Give it a search. Cheers!

You mention, "can find in any garden centre". In my country you cannot find cement at any garden centre. And when I ask them what pots are made of, they cannot tell me. So I Google a lot, and watch KZread. It seems I will have to learn over here by trial and error. I will have to try different cements, and see what works. Even I our building material stores I struggle to find the right advice.
