Seeking 'recipe' for hyper-turfa (?)

I want to remodel my herb garden this year into a more decorative area, and I think I want to put a very small trickle fall some "walls" and etc.
I was thinking that the "ht" would be a good product to use for the project.
I have sketches of a bear's head and paws and intend to have the water trickle from his mouth into the garden.
Being a bear collector - its seemed reasonable at the conception of the idea! *lol*
Would love a copy of the recipe and any ideas you can offer, THANKS, Jude!

Jude, try the Hypertufa forum, look in FAQ's - it contains a few recipies. Your project sounds like a great 'tufa application.

Jude, there's a guy who sells 'tufa information on eBay -- I bought one of his sets of instructions (each auction is for multiple publications and they go for about $10 + shipping) and they're just a treasure trove of information, recipes, observations and ideas. Even include some "papercrete" recipes, which I'm going to try as soon as I collect enough shreddies. He also promises ongoing support. Also available a little cheaper ($12.95, free ship) on his website, I just discovered, below. I don't think there's a more complete list of instructions, anywhere!
