I am interested in making my own concrete decorative blocks for my flower garden/yard. Where do I begin and what materials are best to use in terms of type of mold, concrete, etc. Thanks.

Hi yc46, we had a good discussion on this a couple of months ago but I couldn't find the thread. If I remember right, no one could find any molds. But who knows? Someone might have come out with a new product (molds) by now Good Luck, Z

Thanks Zinger. I guess Ill have to make my own. It just can't be that hard to make but I want to add color; would you use food coloring? or some kinda of paint?

Go to the masonry supply for coloring. The local lumber yard might have some. Remember its a different shade after it dries. Let us know how it turns out. Good Luck, Z
