I sat down to watch one of your videos and ended up watching the entire series. What a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you so very much. for sharing; I will look to see what else you have shared. Excellent!!!!
Oooo, I really do like this whole series. Thank-you for putting these together! You are very easy to understand and follow. I am going to go look and see if you have instructions for making BIG containers and decorations and...and...and...
I am a bonsai enthusiast, and I spend, literally, hundreds of dollars on decorative planters for my bonsai garden. I can see so many possibilities with this hypertufa technique! It's so inexpensive, creative, and lightweight-much needed to move heavy bonsai forests! Questions: can you paint the finished surface? With what type of paint? What adhesive could I use to adhere things such as colored tiles or synthetic jewels?
I watched all videos from part1 to adding textures and now I'm thrilled and can't wait to start my own Hypertufa-Project. Thanks for these great informations.
I'm interested in creating very large planters for exterior use. I'm wondering if you have any ideas. Do you know if this process work on a large scale? Also, is this a heavy. durable product when it is finished?
Also, you mentioned in a previous video about potential problems with lime from the concrete getting into the soil. Of course, this would be a concern for me, especially with such expensive (in terms of $ and time) bonsais. You also mentioned that you can seal the interior surface with something to keep the lime from leaking into the soil. What sealer did you mean?
Thanks for you excellent videos. Do you have any experience with using vermiculite in you hypertufa mix? I want to have a fair amount of permeability-to make ollas.
One more question (sorry): sometimes I have a hard time finding the size planter that I need. Is it possible to make molds from sand, or some other material, that I could use for some really large bonsai planters?
@TheoryIsSpeculation I am working on making a video series on making hyper-tufa troughs. I am in the planning stage and hope to have it all together by 2012. Thank you
@hikurukutai I am working on getting a new camera watch out as soon as I do there will be a lot of new videos and I hope to have a DVD out by the end of 2012.
Dorotwhy, yes you can make large ones, with that said, the walls will have to be thicker. I saw some at the Denver botanical gardens that are about 4 ft x 2 ft and 4 ft tall. so yes you can make biger ones. You will need to re-inforce the walls with chicken wire or some thing like that. also over all they are considered light. now compared to what? if you use 20 pounds of mix it will weigh 20 pounds. and yes it can be durable

No I do not, I have been thinking about trying vermiculite I would just replace the perlite, I think it would work fine.
@Deidraify Thank you I hope to get some more up this summer
