I like Ron above, took several hours to get through this -- thanks all for posting and sharing. A very wonderful pieces everyone!!
I have a couple questions, but who knows when I'll get back:
1) Am I to understand that these containers probably aren't hardy for cold frigid zones?
I think I saw someone post to bring them indoors, and I don't see very many posting from the cold zones. And perhaps it's too early to tell since this thread only started in 2014, and probably here no one has yet left one of their containers outside through winter. I know that when I started making hyper-tufa, directions were to make walls of container at least 1" thick, and greater for larger containers. I really want mine for outside to hold up to zone 5 winters if that's possible.
2) When painting on extra coats, I'm guessing the container is now in the upright condition upon which it will be planted. With the mix being a consistency of batter, does it not tend to want to run off, or down?
Thanks ... hoping to start few small projects soon.
