Step 2Concrete
Concrete can be made in so many different ways - it's very similar to making a cake. I've absolutely no experience at mixing concrete. Here are some safety considerations:
1.) open the cement bag in a plastic bag. This stops it going everywhere
2.) If not opening in the outdoors, wear a mask.
3.) Use gloves when mixing and applying concrete
I used a 50:50 mix of eight cups of cement to eight cups of sand. It seemed to work well with about a litre of water. I didn't add the water slowly but all in one go, assuming I'd need more, but I didn't and had to add more cement and sand (so it's not a disaster, just add equal amounts)
When it becomes a thick paste, you can apply to the leaf
