| According to E How - Combine 2 parts cement, 1 1/2 parts perlite and 2 parts coir fiber in a plastic bucket. Coir fiber is the fiber leftover from coconut husks when coconuts are harvested. It behaves similarly to peat moss and is used in many areas as a peat moss substitute, according to Washington State University Extension. I have never tried but I believe it should be just fine. Hypertufa is trial and error. It does not look great the first time, but eventually you get it the way you like. |
