“The Hypertufa How-To Manual” is probably the most comprehensive eBook you’ll ever find on how to use hypertufa to make not only garden containers, but even decor and art for your garden, yard or… use your imagination!
In the manual, Claudia covers all the mixing, application and curing techniques you’ll ever need to know for any hypertufa project you undertake. Making hypertufa, if you’re not familiar with it, is a relatively simple process.

The directions in “The Hypertufa How-To Manual” are very clear and easy to follow. In fact, even children can understand them.
