Janette Marker of Yankton says that making containers for plants or objects out of Portland cement, Perlite, and peat moss is a way to express your creativity. Natural appearance in the rough textured surface of the finished product is one appeal. Weight of container is offset with three easy-to-find products. Options for shape and size of the container is also a plus. See her complete steps for this homemade project here.
