(Our only successful cutting in two years of attempts.) This pot was made by soaking old pieces of blue jean material in a Portland cement slurry and draping it over an existing plastic pot. The end result is not very heavy, especially when compared to the two larger pots in the background. The one on the left is basically a thick ferrocement made by coating chicken wire inside and out with a Portland cement/sand/charcoal fines/ and wood ash.
