[IBC] Bonsai Plants in Tufa
 

I particularly liked the juniper planting. The others - eh!.
BTW what most Americans call tufa, I call feather rock.
If you go to Italy, the most common building material is tufa: but a
different kind of tufa. It is creamy white, soft, and can be cut with a
hand saw to any shape or size desired. During WWII, we used it to build our
home made shower. We took a stack of tufa blocks, made a wall 6' tall,
placed a wing tank from a P-38 ( a 250 gallon egg) on top of the wall, and
ran a rubber tube out of the tank. The bottom of the tube was sealed off
with a clamp. Then we waited until the sun heated the water. On cloudy
days, nobody took showers! On very warm days, we had to dump a 5 gal. drum
of cold water into the tank so that we wouldn't fry when we released the
clamp.
Showers al fresco was the order of the day. I'll never forget it.
