Hi Irene. Could you do an update on you stone's? How do they look now that spring has arrived in your part of the world? Did the moss grow? We would love to see how they look now.

Great idea for the type of stones YOU wanted. I just started following your channel. You are correct, many garden centers just don’t have the look you need to create just what you want. Those stones look great with the planters you already have made. It is like your garden has been there for centuries. Well done, and thank you for the videos!

Great idea, but as peat moss is now a precious commodity, well the use of it is frowned upon, in the UK. Can other materials be used instead to give the same effect, such as straw, etc be added to non peat compost?

So what I have tried today: Made your recipe in two batch. One with brown color, the same you used and didn't like, but i have used less quantity. And I way lighter color, stone beige color. Mix then separately. So I had 2 buckets. Then I take a piece or each, and I apply on my surface. The goal is to make 1 stone different shades.

Great job! They look so great but I think you should just try to wet the stones and stick moss on them rather than that mixture. Since you sealed the concrete the moss would probably stick directly to it. I just love your path.

Very nice. If only there was a mold for organic stones. Like the quikrete molds, but shaped on all sides. Because that seems very labour intensive. I would not use my hands to mix cement, you can get terrible burns.

That's the point! Peat moss "melts" with time, leaving those little dents and hollows that make it look real
@ameliagfawkes512
@ameliagfawkes512 8 ай бұрын
I think they look great, but per stone, they must have cost a fair amount. Peat is hard to get in the UK and expensive. I have used good quality acrylic paint and sealer on both real stone and outdoor plaster, but the quantity needed here for the coverage needed begins to send the cost stratospheric and it won't last forever. Clearly, these are simply decorative and not meant to be walked on and they do look good. I hope they're holding up.
