DIY Cement Pot Using a Basket and Papercrete 

Use bolinhas de isopor e cimento que fica forte e leve. Para fazer as bolinhas de isopor basta pegar isopor e triturar com água no liquidificador e depois passar em uma peneira. Fica lindo e ajuda o meio ambiente a reciclar isopor usado

No caso de usar isopor o molde deve ser todo fechado ou utilize um vaso de plástico

No you dont

Far less expensive too

Do you use Quick Crete or Porters Cement? What ratio Cement to water do you use? Thanks 😊. I am fixing to try for the first time.

Me too!

How did they turn out?

I did mine with Petemoss in place of the paper pulp. It keeps the planter from being heavy and I used a cardboard box and packing peanuts and a trash bag to make the planter look like a huge boulder, it is a much better look, and more realistic. I look like a superwoman when I move it around lol. Just be sure you do not make the cement mixture too runny. I did the first try with another box inside to make the chamber for the potting soil. it seems to work better than the hand-packing of the cement mixture. Poring is easier than placing the cement in by hand. Oh, and the center box was covered by another trash bag to avoid a soggy box. or just fill the bag with something to make a place for the soil. it was a lot of fun and my failures made great fake rocks and gravel so no waisted cement and Pete moss. I just put them around my trees to reduce evaporation to save water. good luck

@@marcietee3841 How exactly did you make it look like a Boulder?

@@Shago786 Don't forget to put in a drain hole

That is awesome! I live a few hours away from there. You can also use a blender to mix the paper pulp if you don't have a mixing drill.

You're talking about a hellofa lot of work Bro.

@@shaggydog5409 the best, most valuable things in life tend to take time and effort. If something is quick and simple then there is little value in it unless your particular skill makes it look quick and simple but then you put the time and effort to get to that level. Make sense?

@@rathma242 you're kidding!? We're talking about a FLOWER POT Bro. not a house. Use your damn head.

Great idea (recommendation)

Very nice looking. Thanks for sharing this. First I have to figure out what papercrete is. Never heard of it. Love this, though!😊

Thank you so much 😊

Olá pode me dizer qual é o Sray que ela deita no cesto sffv

You need a tight fit so cement does not ooze out. If plastic is used inside then filled it would not show a crisp design
