Go to www.Tropicaldecoscapes.com. They make artificial fiberglass rocks already and it may be easier for you to buy a ready made one and then paint on your rememberance.
Lisa asks…
Where can you get the vegetable garden cart like on Big Brother 11?
I love how the garden on BB11 is portable and big. Does anyone know where you can get one or directions on how to build one?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Hi there..
These plans are for a home and garden cart made from cheap and available materials.
Carts of this design are well adapted for use in the home and garden. The large bicycle tires make pulling the cart over obstructions a snap. Logs or rocks wreck havoc on wheelbarrows because they easily tip.
This cart has a long handle for easy pulling, and an ample flat bed for whatever you’re hauling. The handle’s length makes it easier to use the cart for dumping things. The rear has a removable panel that is taken out when you get to where you need to be, dumping the material is easy.
The frame is angle iron and boards, and the sides are plywood. We’d suggest using marine grade wood.

William asks…
Is it cheaper to use a concrete mold for garden wall blocks or just buy them?
I am going to need 250-300 of the 12″ long reddish pinkish blocks for a retaining wall for a raised flower garden. Is it cheaper to make them myself or just buy them? And how long does it take to make that many…Also, how many can you get out of a back of concrete.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Considering the labor involved and the amount of concrete, it would most likely be cheaper and easier to buy them.
They take a while to cure before you can remove them from the mold and also getting the color consistent from bag to bag and batch to batch would be EXTREMELY difficult. Depending on the size bag, you would be surprised at how little. A 50 pound bag would probably only make 30-40 bricks or so, figuring a brick of 12 inches long (you don’t say how deep, but I am assuming 2.5 by 4 or so which is the minimum that could be used effectively as a retaining wall.
Also, retaining walls tend to move and expand (or be of material strong enough to withstand the expansion and contraction of the soil as the seasons change: dry, really wet in spring, and freezing expansion in winter. An interlocking system would do this; a brick you made would have to be very thick to withstand this, and building it could prove difficult: remember the wall needs to start at least a foot down, deeper depending on your frost zone.
