If you are like me and don't like those new looking pots I age mine instantly by rubbing them with moss or grass. The more you rub the greener they get. Below are some before and afters I did today of new concrete pots.

Also has anybody made Moss for applying to containers?
I have a recipe but have yet to try in.
Heres it is for those who might like to try it.

In an old blender blend until liquefied:
3 cups potters clay (available at craft stores)
1 cup liquid fish emulsion
1 cup moss
Paint onto concrete or Terracotta pottery.
Keep in shady spot
Mist if dry/don't allow to get real dry
Your pot will grow moss in 2 months to 1 year.
I assume it might be too late in cold zones to try this.

Before
