    Hi Tara. I'm Cindy. I watch a lady on You Tube. Her name is Helen Wyatt. She does all kinds of stuff with Portland Cement. She adds sand to her concrete and then, of course, water. I have seen a few other cement projects on line and have learned that you can use "casting cement" for small projects. Hope this helps you. Good luck Tara.

    I used quick setting cement for these little planters for exactly the reasons you have stated and it worked really well
