Hypertufa plant containers are so cute!
I've made lots of concrete plant containers and have heard of hypertufa, but have not yet made any. The great feature of hypertufa is less weight than concrete. I love my concrete containers, but huge containers are almost impossible to move around.
Fine Gardening (photo source) has an excellent article on hypertufa, including Peg's secrets, whose containers are shown in the photo.

Making concrete planters has to be one of the most satisfying and useful crafts ever.
I love the selection of molds in this video!
Once you make a couple, your imagination will go wild with all kinds of stuff to use to for molds to make not only containers, but pavers and decorative border pavers for your plant beds and excellent for raised beds! After a couple of years, they become awesome memories of previous seasons.
With so much to do and so little time to devote to the garden, I sincerely hope that I can get my hand in the concrete to make some memories for my garden.
