Don, what is the largest rock or bolder you have ever made? Did you use styrofoam as bulk or a combination of that and bottles or what? So interested in making a boulder for a focal point in my front yard. Love the videos! Thanks for doing them. Loved the pond work on your lily pond and watched the videos on the one you and your brother are doing at his place.

@1954Dolores The largest rocks are actually a group of rocks at the head-end of my waterfall. You can see them in my pond videos. There really is no limit to how large a rock can be created. I've used both waste polystyrene from packaging and plastic bottles, as well as was concrete chunks from breaking up an old sidewalk as filler for rocks. Anything that can be covered with concrete can be used. To make large boulders, you might try covering a large garbage bag with debris.
