BUNNY BITES: How to make Cement look like Stone
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 02. 2022
- Bunny shows how to age a brand new reconstituted stone ball to make it look like naturally weathered stone. Using cow muck from the fields and other natural ingredients she creates a special recipe to add an instant aged effect and ensure that the natural weathering process is speeded up no end. A natural and inexpensive technique that Bunny's even used in her Chelsea Flower Show gardens.

Sounds like a very good recipe - a good way to engage kids in the gardening process - who don't love making mud pies?! Oh Bunny, don't let the Jealous Chops spoil your day - poaching a view is a very handy technique that many people can use to incorporate what isn't theirs into their domain - whether a ha-ha and pillars framing countryside views, to perhaps a window or arch in a town fence framing a distant hirise or church spire - some folk have no imagination. Which is why you are here to inspire ! Keep safe! And thanks - thousands appreciate your wisdom... 👍🦘🐾😊
Love your channel. Always so many tips, ideas, and interesting suggestions. Thank you for posting videos!
Wait, rewinding. Yogurt. 😀
This is great and easy. Thank you Bunny. Love the step by step instructions.
I loved this Bunny!! And without gloves.. you’re a champ! Keep these tips coming! 💕
Beautiful! You make everything so easy Bunny! Thank you!
Beautifully done.
Loved this !!!
Looked like fun!
True gardner! I just love this! Thanks again!
Wonderful tips.
Love your project and your haha pillars!💝
As always very useful and inspiring...
Very informative and fun.
I agree completely. Oftentimes, the project I do cheaply or with leftovers looks better and is more satisfying than the project I spent big bucks on.
Great idea,im going to give it a try,thankyou.
I love your ideas and your pillars Bunny, you always have wonderful ideas.
Really helpful information. Thank you.
I have used a similar technique on new rock walls with fresh stone face. It took a couple of years, but really quick look like they have been there for decades! Thanks for all your inspiring tips. 🙏
I’ve done that with buttermilk, too! Either way.....the dogs liked it straight away😇. Love your channel 😍🌟🌟🌟
Love your videos.
I’m thinking of your idea to mix soil and cement to make a path, as you showed us the method from Japan. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us and most of all your knowledge. It’s a delight to spend time with you.
Bunny you are a wonder!
Thanks Bunny. I might try this recipe on a stone trough that needs a weathered look. I couldn’t help but chuckle
Thank you Bunny. Looks like a great recipe, particularly the lichen part. I tried ageing terracotta pots years ago with a different recipe (mostly yogurt from memory) and it somewhat worked. Am going to try it again with your recipe.
Love that you have a ha-ha!
brilliant
Great job, thank you for sharing , I need to find some kind of mould to make those round shapes.
Your the BEST 🟢 Have been making a globe garden using different sizes of spheres where plants can't grow. Thank You!!!
Thank you for once again for sharing another great gardening tip. If you have a ha ha and stone pillars and are borrowing a view then good on you. Seems to me you get your own hands dirty plenty of times.
Great weathering effect Bunny, but I might go for the acrylics option ~ just to avoid the cowpat/yoghurt experience!
Loved this’ can you tell us more about stattle stones? I bought one a few years ago and know nothing about them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Staddle stones were made to form the base for grain stores and corn ricks - the traditional mushroom-shaped top creates an overhang that rats and mice can't climb over.
A hypertufa recipe to cast the ball would probably look very weathered without having to do anything else to it. Just another idea.
Would suggest carefully collecting small portions(not destroy whole colony) of lichens growing on limestone and seeding theses on the cement balls-these lichens are the species most likely to grow on the balls vs. those growing on wood or even granite.

Bunny thank you so much for these tips. Can I ask if there is any chance that you can tell us about the little cob hut behind you and how it was made ? Apologies if you already have and I' ve missed it but I would love to know how that was created ....
Bunny did an episode on it late last year - I think it's this one or the description mentions the hut anyway czcams.com/video/C90Objzf-9Y/video.html
Thank you ever so much for that pointer. I had missed that episode. 👍

It's just as well that it's not April 1st, I would have been convinced that this was prank 😯 Poo mixed with yogurt??😳
Just a small tip. Try an Alice band , saves getting cow much and Yogurt in your hair . Live the videos, the best around .
I did try that but frankly the muck and yoghurt was more fetching than the Alice band, and being so windy that day it would probably have blown off 😂
@@bunnyguinness 😅... and I got an "Oh Mother " wearing mine from my overly selfaware daughter. So its hats for me , a tad Miss Marple but who cares . Well the baseball cap got a super withering look.
@@psusanwestlake5510 I've tried a number of different hats and caps and other ways of controlling my wild mane and look silly in all of them. I'm sure anyone who catches a glimpse has a chuckle. My favorite was a sturdy canvas bush hat, but that was stolen by my husband!
I did mix this up, but I have to say - I did not care for the taste of it ...
I'd rather have my yogurt plain.
🤔
JUST KIDDING!
😸 😹 🤣 😹 😸
Sorry hadn’t finished my post… I couldn’t help chuckling at the way you tried to keep your hair out of your eyes with cow poo hands. 😂
I'm sure she has an excellent immune system!
Why would someone steal a few stone balls in the first place?
Straddle stone tops are not balls but shaped like the tops of mushrooms, they are fairly difficult to buy the original ones so quite valuable! 🐇

I wish you had worn gloves because you touched your hair after touching the cow dung.
I am a loyal fan Bunny. Love your creativity, style and incredible knowledge but there are no gardens on a dead planet. Peat and cement are not acceptable anymore.
Please research alternatives for us and lead the way. You are so admired and have a great platform. We need you. The planet needs you to champion a harmonious way to garden with nature.
Totally agree. Come on Bunny! We love you but want you to use your power as an influencer to champion environmentally 'good' stuff.
Bunny, what's going on? First, promoting peat use and also promoting cement?? I've followed you and loved you for ages, I'm not young, but my very humble advice is 'Get with the programme'! Find a new, environmentally friendly and aware trumpet to blow. I'm going to keep hoping for a while but can't imagine my 30 somethings ever watching this for more than 1 minute.
Oh no...not another virtue-signalling eco zealot! (there's absolutely nothing wrong with cement ~ it is not a threat to the environment). Your 30 somethings need maturing...like Bunny's stone.
Do you know that a cell phone is the most unethical and damaging device to the environment due the impact of emissions from production? Are you aware of the near slave labor of children to mine cobalt needed for the batteries? Are you watching this video using a cell phone or any electronic device for that matter?
@@JoannaLouise200 @Joanna (London) Your insults are actually a compliment to me Joanna. To care about the Environment does not make me a 'zealot', it makes me a person attempting to be responsible for our future. You could read the science about concrete? I'll sum it up, in case you don't have time: Concrete causes 8% of the world's Co2, 10% of the world's water use, traps heat in cities which increases global warming. Concrete production is a main cause of deadly silicosis in the workers. 10% of the world's particulate pollution in our air comes from concrete production. The sand needed for concrete is destroying natural beaches and river banks. There are more reasons that informed people don't like concrete but perhaps you just don't care? Maybe, as time goes on, our maturing 30 somethings will have a more positive impact on the environment? I hope so. In the mean time, people with influence have a role to play or they may become the dinosaurs and their uninformed views become laughable and redundant.
@@michellebarbour5777 Conclusion: some people deem a reality-check an insult ~ c'est la vie.
Agree. Reality- check about the environmental consequences of concrete is useful for us all. Glad you don't find the response insulting.
