Thank you lady. I will try it. Gardening is very expensive in my country... Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.

I love your video! I have been attempting to make a large cement planter with little success so far but now I am going to try again with your hypertufa very helpful ideas and examples of trial and error til we get it correct :) DIY is so fun. I love having nice things without having to spend lots of money.

If you ever need cement to set up a bit faster (too wet of a mix) you can sprinkle some dry Portland on it. That will absorb the extra water and start to set quickly.

I enjoyed this video. Hope you do more of them. Have a great day.

after molding the sand, "pour" a thin layer of the cement mix over it. let set just a bit. this will separate the sand from the mix, now you can add mix by the handfuls without having it peel off some sand.I love your videos :)

Thanks for the video! I have great memories of a group of us towing our boats up from Oregon several years in the late 70's to fish Salmon. The Big Rock Motel!

Thank you for this excellent video. I learned a great deal, you working with the soupy mixture lets me know you can fix it if you go too far on the water. I am looking forward to doing my project even more now after seeing what you do. Carry On Madam!

Thank you…. Wonderful video… 💚💚💚🤗

Please add some big rocks to the birdbath - it's too deep and the birds could drown. I enjoyed the video and appreciate seeing mistakes - and how to carry on!

Did your cement mix already contain sand ? Cause I noticed you didn't add sand?

I have to say I did enjoy your video, however, why didn’t you just add more product to the mix to thicken it up a bit, I would think it would have been much easier.

I could not find a follow up video. I would really like to see the finished project. If there is one, please reply with a link to the video. Thank you.

Very interesting video!

You have no drainage holes in the planters, are they added atsome point?

Thank you, hope to see more! : )

holes for drainage

Wouldn't it be stronger if you used a few cement-soaked cotton t-shirts layered over the form? Should still be light weight.

@earlcreamer7838 - That sounds interesting. Do you have videos?

bird bath and drinking water hats a cool idea and cheaper too i think

What do you charge for a hypertufa planter?

What is the substitute for Coir and peat. I can't get either and need to make a water trough

A lot wetter than usual hypertufa I have made. ... think would just take longer to dry. Looks like an awfully deep bird bath!

Hi! If you throw handfuls of dry Portland cement on wet product will Anson water and stiffen hypertufa

thank you, just want to ask the ratio of them

@hebertocofresi9211

Ratio is one part Portland cement, one part peat moss, one part perlite or vermiculite.

What is the mixing ratio of cement and those material?

She said equal parts of all 3 so 1/1/1

Yes, I have but I like peat moss better

would be better if you showed us how ?????

thanks for the instruction. just an fyi, bird bath's should never be that deep...the birds could drown in them-- they should be a **max** of 2" deep

I want to make a pot that will disintegrate after one month of constant water contact

@@FletcherHillier Yes it can over the very long term. But I know people who have hypertufa planters out in their gardens that are well over 10 years old. What is missing here is the leaching period. You can’t really plant directly into it after making them. Here in the PNW we usually leave them outside in the rain for a winter to do that.

Hate to tell you but the mask didn't work against covid particles nor does it work against cement. Otherwise good video learned a lot.

All of these problems caused by using far too much water in you cement mix and way too much oil! I should imagine that you have worked this out already!

The mixture was way to sloppy

At 3:26 She says "thank God for Covid" in reference to the mask she's putting on. That was when I had to quit watching.

Did you look at the end? You can do a lot with hypertufa. Her mix was a little runny so that was an issue. You can make more regularly shaped containers using a box inside a box for example, or a bowl inside a larger bowl. They end up looking almost like stone planters.
