Katika kipindi hiki, wateja walitazama maonyesho ya moja kwa moja ya mchakato wa kuchanganya hypertufa, kisha walitumia mchanganyiko huo kuunda sufuria zao wenyewe kwa bustani zao za nyumbani. Programu hii imekusudiwa watu wazima tu. Watu wazima huchafua mikono yao kwa kutengeneza sufuria za saruji kwa ajili ya bustani zao za nyumbani.
