How To Make A Hypertufa Planter For Growing Herbs Or Succulents

[@kennalan1130]

Love the frog song. Rough mix the dry before adding the wet... Just like making biscuits. Good video.

[@user-ii1iy8fz1d]

Best advice ever.

[@Tmlps2]

'Grow your heirlooms...because dependency sucks'...excellent tag line....love it... and subbed. Thanks & Peace to ya.

[@ValerieLynn]

Thanks! You make that look easy and fun. I've saved your DIY Hypertufa Pots to my publicly shared list.

[@GideonGardens]

Hypertufa planter.....there it's on my "to do" list. Those would look really nice lining a walkway. Thanks for sharing:)

[@Growyourheirlooms]

YW, BTW you can even get a concrete coloring and add it to the mix for "colored" hypertufa pots.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

There was even a guy at a nursery I visited years ago that built concrete posts using PVC drain pipe as forms and he elevated his planters using the posts. Looked incredible.

[@GideonGardens]

Grow Your Heirlooms I'd like to see a pic of that.

[@ChristopherAMacleod]

Thanks for showing how to do this. I'm building my first box form today!!! :)

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

Nice Demo video. I had never heard of these planters! Chuck

[@Growyourheirlooms]

They would be awesome for your huge greenhouse (which I drool over every time I see it :-) )

[@marcustriton6978]

excellent job and presentation. TY.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Thx

[@grantdm]

never heard of this. thanks!

[@WayneMeador]

This was very interesting Grow Your Heirlooms! I think I may give this a try at some point! :)

[@AlbertaUrbanGarden]

Great DYI pot video ! Do they hold up to tough freeze thaw cycles ?

[@WayneMeador]

I was wondering the same thing *****!

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Yes, they hold up very well. I made lots of them in Alaska and they went through the winters there no problem.

[@AlbertaUrbanGarden]

Oh nice ! That might be an interesting way to add levels to my garden

[@itmaslanka]

Mine lasted around 8-10 years!

[@skittles9970]

frogs are awesome!

[@knitnpaint]

Great informative video. Thank you

[@Buckrun11]

Pretty cool!

[@flo-hs6sv]

Neato! Thank for the demo :)

[@df3photo]

Looks like something I may have to try... thanks for sharing!

[@stellina2610]

Thanks for the tip :) Might be a stupid question but could someone write down what the three 'ingredients' are please? It's me being german, living in UK and not knowing these words , sorry :/

[@vailo9076]

Its ok to use coco peat?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

I have never tried it with coco peat

[@itmaslanka]

You can also throw in some cement color to get rid of that grey.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Good idea thanks

[@eveny119]

What's the difference between Portland cement and other types? I asked at our hardware store and they didn't have a small bag of Portland.

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Portland is more of a powdery mix and is used for a base for different types of concrete. It has no rocks or gravel in it.

[@eveny119]

Thanks for the answer. I wonder why they don't sell smaller bags for DIY'ers? I guess they make more money on the smaller pre mixed stuff they don't bother.

[@gardenman3]

Why not make a form for the inside and pack the Hypertufa between the forms?

[@Growyourheirlooms]

+gardenman3 That would certainly work.

[@M0D0C42]

Never heard of hypertufa. I thought it had to do with dental problems. (lol) I need to get out more. :)

[@Growyourheirlooms]

LOL Me too!

[@user-ii1iy8fz1d]

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR FROGS GUY. Nature's indicator species, can't regulate transfer of potential toxic chemicals into their dermis. You my man. Live somewhere relatively safe n green. Be blessed by the bringer of rain. Unless you in one of those poor ass flood hit states that is.... X

[@alabamaorganicgardening8801]

These DIY hypertufa pots look too easy to not try! I already have all of the ingredients!

[@zaccarroll72]

Proper water cement ratio is .3% of your total cement.

[@xxRyanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Don't be sorry about the frogs, everyone likes frogs.

[@stellina2610]

well.. i know cement :D

[@Growyourheirlooms]

Portland cement, peat moss, vermiculite
