    In this video we mix concrete at a ratio of 5:1. In our next video we will show how we lay a concrete base with the concrete we mixed up.

    Thanks for this. Just put concreted a big shed base and watched your video to remind me how it's done - last concreting done fifteen years ago and then only assisting my builder mate. A great reminder of how to get it right!

    Always remember priming the big mixers with a touch of oil to get them started in the morning, on the building sites back in the 1980s

      That brings back memories Jim , trying to turn over a diesel mixer on a cold morning used to nearly break your arm until you got the knack, then it was a piece of piss 😂😂,

      The other way is mix up in the mix let it mix then turn it off and shovel in buckets or top the lot on the floor and shovel it that way, whatever works for you 👍

    Three words people ' buckets ' ' not' 'shovels' obviously this depends on how important the the strength and consistency is for the particular job but as a video tutorial it's wrong to put it out as you did like

    The title "how to mix concrete " --- this is some hodge-podge morter-mix because there was no STONE or GRAVEL in the mix. Going to crack, break, and crumble no matter how it is used. Use 3 parts STONE or gravel,2 parts coarse sand, and 1 part Portland cement for REAL concrete. Or just buy the bags of redi-mix concrete. WHAT ---stone & GRAVEL are EVERYWHERE.
