I used the garden to make my molds. Make whatever you can think up in the dirt. I pushed a cup into the dirt in three places in a triangle and poured my mix over it. Now I have a shelf on a legs that I pile all my other rocks on. It's fun but agreed its a PITA to cure. Took a few weeks in a garbage can with daily water changes that can go longer as it ages. I would do it again but chuck them in a large body of water to cure.

I was considering using dirt or sand for molds but I would like to save and reuse the molds so I decided on styrofoam blocks. I will use blocks around 1'x1', then make the negative molds. I will use plastic bags filled with newspaper for the inner forms so I can make caves and tunnels, etc
