Hypertufa has an interesting history. By the early 1900s, gardeners knew that old stone horse watering troughs made rustic planters. In the south of England the troughs were made with a porous limestone rock called tufa (two-fa). When tufa troughs became scarce, resourceful gardeners developed “hypertufa”. The traditional recipe is 1 part Portland cement, 1 part sand, and 1 part peat moss.
