I've been making a few things out of hypertufa.

The economics is a little mind bending. Hear me out.

If I go to the grocery store, it costs $8 for a 2 or 3 pound bag of vegetables.

At the hardware store, the same $8 gets me a 94 pound bag of portland cement. That's a lot of cement. And whatever I make out of the cement (plus perlite/vermiculite and fiber/moss/coconut-hair mixed in) lasts over 100 years. The vegetables start to spoil in about 100 hours.

Anyway, cement is not vegetable obviously, but for the price of a few peppers and tomatoes you can make things out of cement that have long-term utility value. It just kindof amazes me that it's so cheap. I'll still be eating my peppers and tomatoes, but I can't look at them now without thinking "that's 4 raised bed gardens, or a large grinding stone, or 25 pots, or a home made millstone, or... or..."
