Hypertufa for Beginners

I've actually considered making hypertufa containers for a while now. I have Portland cement, perlite, and peat moss in my garage waiting for me. I've just been too busy to get involved in a project. I have a couple books with recipes and sculpture ideas. Now I've found a couple wonderful videos that have great visuals for me that might push me over the edge to get me started on an actual project.

But first a garden site that features one of the videos.
