Thank you so much for sharing. I've been searching the net for exactly the information you are giving us for many months. Your instructions are superb.

Thank you ever so much for the video. I wasn't sure how to release the leaf from the hyper tufa mix. have wanted to try this for a long time. But now will have to wait till next spring to make one or more to put around my pond. Hail storm totally destroyed my rhubarb leaves. Thanks again.

@suzukiman650 I hope to be up and working by the end of Nov we just moved so it will take some time. Thanks I hope that that helps you our.

Thanks for the video - I've watched both (the making and demolding of the leaf). Where can I find large leaves to use as a mold? I sure don't have any in my back yard. :)

@ingridg2 The one that I used is a burdock, I have also used rhubarb. You can ask your friends or buy a plant from a green house. You also can get and use fake leaves that you can get from the hobby store. Hope this helps.

That was what I would call a very simple explanation. Thank you very much. Most of the 'How to' videos are generally useless and not explained in detail. Now that my rhubarb is coming on, I will get the necessary components. Thanks again from N.Ireland.
