How much cement per bag of ballast?

K-Rod · 18 Feb 2009

Hi,

Please can anyone advise how much cement I'd use per 25kg bag of ready mix ballast?

It needs to be a fairly dry mix as it's for back filling edging for a patio I'm building.

Thanks in advance.

K-Rod.

1:6 mix, so 25 / 6 = 4kg

4kg? Does K-rod's wife know he will be using the measuring jug out of the kitchen?

Try one levelled off (ie not heaped) builders shovel of cement per bag
