Cinder blocks are made from cement and coal ash. Concrete blocks are made of cement, sand, gravel, and cinders.
Cinder blocks are, on average, 10 pounds lighter than concrete blocks, so keep that in mind when planning your next DIY project. These two types of blocks come in a standard rectangular shape.
Cinder block gardens are a great way to grow fresh vegetables and flowers in a small space. These blocks are inexpensive and can create many different styles and patterns.
