I seriously love your pots. From day one of your journey I have been following you. And I see still you have them intact. I too tried and made after seeing yours. It came out so strong.

[@LushGardener]

Thank you so much!😊🪴

[@johnslugger]

*I will tell you this! Hemp-Crete blocks with over 65% fiber are as bullet proof as the best body armor. I shot a Hemp-crete block made with 65% fine chopped hemp fiber, 25% Portland cement and 10% sand measuring - 12" X 14" X 24" and the punishment it took was AMAZING! I shot the block with both 30-06 and 50 caliber ammo and I could never get a bullet to go through it or even split it after 80 shots to the center mass. It just seemed to get tougher since at same point the new bullets were being stopped by a wall of brass and lead building up in the blocks center mass! AMAZING EFFECT!*

[@fordbuchanan8630]

It should be for what it costs! Hemp is an excellent material, but until the costs can be brought down, it's not comparable to papercrete.

[@user-ux4cg7vm8y]

Thank you! Pots are really imazing!

[@LushGardener]

Glad you like them!

[@Chafalota]

HELLO LushGardener 🙋🏻‍♀🙋🏻‍♀🙋🏻‍♀ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I LOVE HOW YOUR PAPER CRETE POTS LOOK IN THE RAW, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL 👍🏻💚💚💚

[@LushGardener]

thank you so much for watching 😊👍🏼

[@vjsucculents10]

Yes tested and proven.. I added raw rice hull also... And it works well ..

[@LushGardener]

oh yes that too will work out best m soon gonna make hyper tufa pit let’s see 😬

[@vjsucculents10]

@@LushGardener yes sir it won't break easily..

[@navinhookoom3584]

Instead of using perlite(which is quite expensive), can we use "grated" polystyrene beads ?(even though it tends to be very sticky because of it's electrostatic energy)

[@LushGardener]

don’t worry if you have sand use it …if you are ok with little weight ..that’s fine

[@navinhookoom3584]

Thank you very much for both of your replies. Really appreciated! Kind regards!

[@Wisdomseeker6770]

How do you grate yours please?

[@navinhookoom3584]

Hello there! Just wished to know if two different sized pots could be used(just as in concrete pots making) for having a neater and smoother finish to the papercrete pots. Thank you!

[@LushGardener]

I got it …like an inner container …I haven’t tired that …it is possible but then ensure the inner container is also oiled …smooth finish might not be achieved just like concrete as the paper pulp will be textured..but it will be minimal

[@Ok-dw4gz]

Im running out of pots too. I need to buy plastic pots far from office. I find your pots very interesting to do. But I hope I have the will and patience to do it 😂 Im still trying to figure out on how to do the vertical garden 😅 but we really learn from your vlog like we are attending Botany class to Art class 😂😊 👍

[@LushGardener]

hahaha thank you…vertical garden I will share a video but I don’t prefer it as when you water the upper row the water fall on the row below so need to use plastic sheet while watering little hectic kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKbIoKCGicx2g8U

[@LushGardener]

yes the papercrete or even concrete pot takes some time 😁

[@Ok-dw4gz]

On the other hand Sir its is nice to think that you are also teaching us on how to start a new business out if that customize paper-crate 🧐😅😁👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@LushGardener]

@@Ok-dw4gz absolutely the only thing we need is patience and time …because with papercrete the major component is waste paper so we save money on one material …so it can help us make some more profit and each custom made pot looks very unique

[@Ok-dw4gz]

True Sir LG 👍😊 have a blessed evening and weekend! Thanks

[@tarablanco2431]

💯💯Yo hago macetas de papelcemento desde 2018. Al obtener el cuenco refuerzo con una capa de cemento, le pongo patas para que se eleven y al drenar no el agua no remoje la base. Las pinto y aplico sellador como protección final. Son muy baratas. 💯💯

[@AnilSharma-Impcbl]

Mine are out n m sun drying them currently. I think I missed misting, will start from today. The one I put in ceramic pot is not coming out😬

[@LushGardener]

oh no never use ceramic pot 😂….plastic only in ceramic pot it will get attached….misting is ok u can do it later aswell 😊

[@daym8]

Out of curiosity,Lush Gardner. Can these pots be made out of newspaper instead of crate mash/tissue mash? coz of its abundance. Thank you for all your time and efforts in making such informative videos.🙏

[@LushGardener]

yes absolutely…I don’t get newspapers so I use these all the waste paper I get ..but newspapers will work fantastic …and it turns into pulp faster come to cardboard

[@daym8]

Thank you, for the valuable reply Sir.🙏

[@shanene3145]

Hi, do you think I can apply papercrete on top of smooth floor tile? I have access tile that’s a life hazard. If I have the tiles that I can fit into a box and stick papercrete on top…once it dried you think I can use it as stepping stone outside?

[@LushGardener]

I think it might work …but use more parts of cement ….as far as I have read earlier people used papercrete bricks to make walls not sure how strong were they …but I think it should work once it’s completely cured it’s quite strong

[@LushGardener]

probably you can get a better idea with this type in papercrete without tow mixer on KZbin maybe the video might help

[@shanene3145]

Great!!! Will do….It’d be so awesome if it worked like i imagined.

[@LushGardener]

wishing you all the best 😊🪴

[@vedanayakigovindan5280]

Wish me best of luck. I'm sending all my succulents via courier in this hot climate to North India without any other option.

[@LushGardener]

oh finally..I hope they reach safe and as quick as possible wishing you all the very best 😊🪴

[@vedanayakigovindan5280]

@@LushGardener thank you so much. I gave to the nursery guy to pack it and send them through courier. I will receive them as soon as I reach.

[@ddudleyr]

I am in process of sun drying several of them. I must not have used enough oil on the ones I made using plastic juice bottles because I can't get them out of mold. Any suggestions or should I just cut them out? And thank you so much for ALL of your videos!!!! I've been binge watching them!

[@LushGardener]

yes you will have cut it then 🙁…..I don’t use oil for papercrete pots as I use very soft plastic and then I have like really strong afternoon sun I just turn the container upside down ….in just like 30 mins the material slips out in one piece 😂😂 if you receive strong afternoon sun then just leave it upside down for 1 hr or so ….and see if that works if not then just cut the bottle .. thank you so much for your time watching my videos really appreciate 😊🪴👍🏼

[@ddudleyr]

@@LushGardener Thank you! ALL of the ones I'm making using plastic bowls are beautiful. So, I'm really excited.

[@LushGardener]

I can see your excitement through msgs hahaha wishing you all the best ….when I started I was equally excited even today when I try new moulds or containers m so curious to know how will it turn out 😂😂👍🏼

[@ashaion1777]

So, what happens if I pick up the papercrete by the edge?

[@LushGardener]

it will break

[@Dana-pm9td]

Dose adding perlite make pots less durables?

[@LushGardener]

no perlite will work as an aggregate it will hold the pot together …you can use sand also but that will make the papercrete pot slightly heavy

[@natashazaayman3041]

Hallo can you seal the papercrete pot to ensure less water gets lost? Also do you find that the pots are fine for use indoors without messing if you don't have a hole underneath and have succulent planta inside?

[@LushGardener]

I usually dont seal any of the pots as I let them sit in water for a week to cure at the same time the ph in concrete also reduces a lot … hmm indoor it might work..in fact indoor the moisture will be pulled out at much slow rate …as mine are outside in sun so the papercrete pulls moisture out much faster …indoor might be slower …probably you can try out with one pot first … yes use some saucer beneath or a plastic lid …the area beneath the pot will be wet otherwise it might stain the table or the rack were it’s placed

[@natashazaayman3041]

@@LushGardener Thanks so much for your response, I will try this and let you know :)

[@miyukimoyazono5958]

Is it still the same without the cement? Will it still be durable and not soggy if it's just paper?

[@LushGardener]

Yes cement is a must otherwise it will fall apart…..it will definitely stick together as it’s paper mash but it won’t be durable …it will become soggy as soon as it comes in contact with water and fall apart …cement is necessary 😊🪴

[@miyukimoyazono5958]

@@LushGardener ok ok thank you!!

[@tarablanco2431]

Yo hago unas pequeñas sin cemento...puro papel molido. Al obtener el cuenco le doy un acabado de cemento...por dentro y fuera. Se pinta y se sella. Quedan perfectas!!

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

Are these paperCrete pots brittle like Terra Cotta? Or more durable or flexible than clay pots?

[@LushGardener]

mine haven’t become brittle…I would say they are quite durable ..they might get a little soft when wet but once dry they are Rock hard again ….more cement less pulp will make them even more hard …over all 3 yrs with papercrete m very impressed with the performance…they works just right …my papercrete pots are all outdoor through monsoon winter summer ..so far no issue
