Can you use an actual horse-trough as a base instead of a box or a bowl? Or can you use this to coat the outside of a plastic or metal horse trough (roughly 2’x2’x4′) to change its appearance? I can envision a raised-bed garden based on a horse-trough: textured with leaves, grass, stick, or bark imprints; colored to blend into the yard or painted with moss. One advantage of this decorative hypertufa shell would be its insulating qualities. Summers here can get very hot.
