  1. cow poo is cheaper
     
  2. I have 2 tons of ballast sitting in my garden after my dad's miscalculation. We were only doing 5 posts for a fence.
    He was still scratching his head as the lorry drove off. I had to shovel it all through to my back garden to get it off the drive!!

    Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

    At must one bag(not aton bag) of ballast per post should do it, not forgetting some cement and a dash of water.
     
  4. Exactly,tell me about it. The stuffs so cheap I can't give it away, it's too much trouble for someone to move it! I'll have to think up of a use for it.
     
  5. Where are you?

  6. if you're trying to level off a gradient on concrete, using a fresh concrete float on top, you'll have to be careful with the depth at the 'shallow end', especially if you envisage putting any weight on it (a car for example)...it'll need to be deep enough so as not to crack....bonding new onto old can also be problematic....it's not just a straightforward 'shutter it and throw it in' job (despite what others may tell you...gen up before you make any decisions

    In order to avoid heavy parcel postage fees, do each one individually!!! :)

  13. We tried mix-a-mate but the cancelled us last minute twice in the last month. Gave the job to a local builder, cost £95 more than Mix-a-mate and all done within the week. He used ready mix - 6m cubed
