This is my little cement planter I made

It's the first one, so it's a little rough. But I am gonna fill it with succulents tonight 😊

@caccoon I do too, the birds were coming around early this morning when I was hand-watering plants and the fig bushes. A robin flew close and chirped like it was happy and then I look up and see Mississippi kites watching me hold the hose to water and there was a little wren by the corner of the yard chirping too. I know someone with a large fountain and he put a little pump in it and the birds all come around and take baths all day long.

@cherokeepatti aww, little beauties. I'm sure they'd love a birdbath!

If you are putting succulents in there, make sure there is a way for the water to drain out. Big layer of gravel first, then sand, then soil.

@4meAndyou because it's cement, the water will leak through if need be! 😊

Oh my god that is amazing how did you do it!!????
caccoon · 36-40
@DeluxedEdition it's actually hypertufa, so it's a mixture of peat moss, vermiculite/perlite, and cement. I made a mold from styrofoam, mix ingredients and then pack it into the mold 😊 a few more steps, but it's pretty simple!
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@caccoon very nice well done. I love the ridge bubble looking design you choose as well ❤️ Do post a pic when you have it filled
caccoon · 36-40
@DeluxedEdition thank you! Because of the mixture, it's actually easy to mold so I just build that scalloped top with my hands (gloves, because the mixture is caustic).

I will!! 😊😊

That’s so nice

@caccoon I like pointing out when people do good. I do it for my kids, my family (that I can stand lol) my friends and coworkers. I have seen how bad words can hurt people. I am not perfect and I have said things I shouldn’t but I try to spread good with so much negativity in the world today.
caccoon · 36-40
@iamonfire696 It's all we can do, sometimes! <3 I appreciate that so much. I will do well to remember to do this as too ☺️

@caccoon Love that 💙
