i need to know about mixing concrete .... im useing "wicks Ballast" how much Cement do i use to one bag of ballast thanks
 
thanks for the help..... so its 1 cement to one bag of ballast im i right ?
 
a 25kg bag of ballast probably contains 4 heaped shovels of material.

so, if you intend mixing the whole bag stick a heaped shovel of dust into the mix. :wink:
 
If (and i dont know) the ratio is 6:1.
That means 6 parts sand, to 1 part cement.
A part could be.. a bucket, a cup, or a shovel.

Hope that has helped you with ratios ( : )
