Hi there and hello,
I am handy with most things and I have stone field wall to rebuild. The stone is smooth beach pebbles and the mortar has to be lime mortar rather than the usual dry stone field wall.
The more I read about lime mortar the more confusing it becomes.
I have about 90m (by 1.2 high) to rebuild as economically as possible. The site is exposed and the stuff will have to be hand mixed (there is no power on site).
Q: which lime and at what mix ratio would you recommend?
Many thanks
Jonathan
