Rurality Newsletter - All Rustic News March 15, 2026 |
Spring is definitely in the air, and you might be planning a few garden projects. March 15 2026The best ones are those that take only a day or so, and give instant gratification. If they're longer, and require more than one person to build, that might need more planning. Here's one that took both of us, but could be done with just one person if you don't need to film it. The project I have in mind is patio blocks that are made with hybrid hypertufa mix, with a bit more concrete powder in there, for strength.If you plan on doing it, choose a day where the temperature will be above freezing, and possibly a bit of rain forecast. The moisture will help the blocks cure, if there are too many or they're too thick to put in a water bath. The installation of the patio blocks is essentially identical to other blocks; a bed of sand, raked flat, and then some more sand spread on top and swept in to fill the cracks. Plant some thyme in there, and it will look like it's been there for decades. Enjoy your
rustic garden project
and let me know how it goes!
