Concrete projects are becoming quite the rage right now and you might be itching to try one yourself.
I've tackled a few recently.
Quick and easy concrete pavers. |
Some turned out great and some...not so much. Anyway I'm super geeked about the whole concrete thing. I mean, 1.99 a bag! Can't beat the price and it is super easy to mix. The worse part is lifting the darn bags. But, that's why I grew these 6' boys isn't it?
My attempt at making a concrete garden globe. Ummm. yeah. Back to the drawing board on that one. |
Start with an average bucket of any kind. Probably should be clean but honestly I don't usually worry about it. |
Use any old garden tool to mix. |
Mix between each addition of water being careful to dig down deep to the bottom to get all the dry mix. |
In the end you have to make sure to mix it all well but, depending on the look you're going for, you can have it a little on the dry side (which creates a rougher end product) or more wet (which creates a smoother end product).
Once you try it a time or two, you will be an old pro!
Go ahead, don't be afraid and give it a try.
