Shovels in 25kg bag

[Patho]

Hi folks,
I am laying a base for my 14'*9' timber shed that I am going to make the weekend, in the past I've always bought my ballast in bags due to limited access, however this time I've managed to get greedy bag around the back. I intend to do a 4:1 ballast mix, but I don't know how many shovels are in a 25kg bag, IIRC there use to 16 in a 50kg bag is this correct?

Thanks

Dunno, but for accuracy measure your amounts out in level bucketfuls. oh, and beg/borrow (but don't steal!) a cement mixer from someone.

I have a very old 5/3.5 electric mixer, normally takes 250kg at a time

which amounts to 8 ballast and 2 dust

We work on 4 shovels to a 25kg bag, 130 to a bulk bag.

Thanks for that, was just thinking it was 8 to 50kg not 16
