After exhausting every possible concrete supplier here - I can tell you that you can't buy this material in the US. I have looked up a few ways to duplicate this with pretty good results.

I used a ratio of 50% Plaster of Paris and 50% Perlite.

Makes a nice light weight material and holds water REALLY nice : )

Easy to cut as well.

I'll let you know how they like it as soon as I can get some time.
