All planters from Krebb's Concrete are made out of
hypertufa. Hypertufa is a man-made approximation of
natural tufa,
a porous limestone used extensively by medieval farmers in Europe who carved it into
feeding and watering
troughs for their livestock. Victorian era gardeners realized that these "tufa
troughs" were ideal for container gardening
because of their unique ability to create micro-environments suitable for
bonsai and the cultivation of alpine miniatures.
Contemporary gardeners have turned to hypertufa as an affordable alternative to the rare
and expensive antique troughs of old.
They have also discovered that hypertufa is a material that encourages the growth of moss
and lichens on its surface, making
these rough-hewn planters appear ancient once established in the garden. Each
planter at Krebb's Concrete is handmade
and decorated making it a one of a kind garden conversational piece.
