Liz and I did a hypertufa class at DIG in Santa Cruz today. Hypertufa is an anthropic rock made from various aggregates bonded together using Portland cement. Hypertufa is intended as a manufactured substitute for natural tufa, which is a slowly precipitated limestone rock; being very porous, it is favorable for plant growth.

| I put leaves on the sides of this one - you can see the stems hanging out. |
We mixed equal parts of cement, peat and perlite and then shaped it into pots sprayed with canola spray! They have to cure for 2 to 3 weeks and then we will take the apart, drill holes in the bottom and plant them with something wonderful!
As a bonus, I got this heart shaped put and a bunch of succulents to plant in it!
