Can anyone tell me how much stuff I need?

[Bockhamptoner]

I have 0.24m cubed of small footing for a small raised flower bed...... how much aggregate and cement do I need for 0.24m/cubed?
Also, have then to lay 350 bricks, is there a formula for how much sand and cement to order? as is it Builders sand or Sharp sand?
many thanks

to create a 1/4 cube of concrete you will need about a half tonne of sand and gravel mixed or ballast as it is known darn sarf. this will require 4x 25 kg bags of cement. mix the ballast with the cement at 6 parts ballast to 1 cement.


for the bricks you will need about 8 x 25kg bags of building sand or soft sand and 2 x 25 kg of cement. mix this at 4:1 using plasticiser of feb as it synonymously known
