Hi, T. I knew it was worth cutting the article out and keeping twenty years ago proabably :D ... here's your "recipe" for hypertufa, a man-made substitute for the real tufa, a calcareous, porous rock found in a few places in the UK.

Mix equal parts of cement, sand and peat into a stiff paste. Mould a 1/2 inch (13mm) layer of hypertufa around the inside and outside of an old sink or other receptacle. Fill with soil or compost when dry.

Good luck and have fun! :D
