I mixed up twice as much mix as last time but I did not use cement color in this batch. I mix the peat moss and Portland first and then add the perlite. I am using a two foot long rectangular pot this time and I used a black plastic bag on the inside because I ran out of oil spray. I also had to mix up more because I ran out before I finished the last long side. I used a block of 2"x4" to pack it in instead of my hands like I watched others do. It worked very well and the sturdy pot to begin with helps. The bed pan I used for the first one was flimsy.
The mix on my potting bench. I started outside on a table but it was too windy.
The mold and black plastic.
A shot of where I ran out and had to mix more.
The finished molding. It was put inside a black plastic bag two days ago. I will open it up today and take it out of the mold and clean it up and then back in the bag it goes for two weeks unveiling.
