Love your technique! You can also make large concrete planters using two sizes of cheap styrofoam ice chest. Pour a batch of quickcrete in the bottom of the larger container. Set the smaller container on top of the quickcrete and center it. Use plastic drinking straws to poke holes through the bottom of the smaller container, the unset quickcrete, and the bottom of the larger container. This makes your drain holes. Mix another batch of quickcrete and pour it between the sides of the two containers up to the top edge. Let quickcrete harden, then peel away the larger container and remove the straws. If you want your container aged and covered in moss, paint the outside with buttermilk and rub on some dirt. Seal it up in a heavy plastic bag for two weeks and moss will grow on it.
