Default [IBC] Cement Recipe? Building Lightweight Growing Benches

I want to make growing benches out of concrete and cinder blocks.
(Stop me here if this is the wrong approach.)


Depends on the statement you want to make, and how good you are at
making concrete look like weathered sandstone or something. I use
stackable plastic-coated wire shelving units for my benches- they are
light, easy to rearrange, attractive in a modern way, and clean
easily. If the plastic is broken, the wire will rust, but I've had
mine for 10 years now without trouble.

This is roughly what I'm talking about:
