My husband used half a bag of concrete - cement, gravel and sand and
left the other half out, where it got wet. I now have a
half-a-plastic-bag-shaped lump of concrete. Does anyone know how I can
get moss or a similar stuff to grow on it, please? Or how I can age it
to make it look a bit more presentable. If it were green, it would be
quite attractive surrounded by plants but as it is at present, it is an
eyesore. Many thanks in advance.

Spray it with dilute live natural yoghurt a few times.

I think you mix some cow muck with water in a bucket and paint it on.

Ah! There is a farm a couple of miles from here. Thanks, Martin.

Thanks Bob. What with Martin's cow-muck and your yoghurt, it looks as
though it will be OK. I shall let you know how it goes.
