Cormaic (he of this list!) to the rescue:
http://www.pavingexpert.com/concmix1.html. First select your mix.... Looks to me like you will want nearly TWO tonne bags of ballast, and the 10 bags of cement. So, as Grunff would say a VERY long day. (In fact, I did tow tonne bags worth of strip filling in roughly 3 very very hard hours, on me tod, running with the barra.) -- Stuart "Grunff" wrote in message ...

There are steps in it anyway so I can always do it a step at a time & overlap each step by a bit for the joins. What proportions cement, sand, chips do I use for each mix in a 25 litre mixer. Cheers, Rab. |
