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.
@Sunfire98713 жыл бұрын
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 :)

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.

@@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.

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.
