Yea, but don`t we all secretly wish we had as much clean dry concrete to sweep up
Been too wet up until now? Or are you in BS lift and haul scheme?

Always been too wet, the wind has dried the top off for now, despite rain on Monday. No choice but to go now anyway, Bury is due to close very soon.

Not dry enough to play in the fields, all cattle and pigs strawed and fed, what shall we do?
I know.
Bit of a wall and a small slab.

Do you not find them a pain to tie off if you can't get whole bag in?
We can normally squeeze it in once the low level buzzer has gone off

It is miles easier and stronger and cheaper, if you are set up for it. It is slower though.
You have concrete addiction issues...?
Maybe you said before , did you make those pans yourself ? How many bags do you put in that pan mixer ? What cube is it ?
I have a Fliegel , reckons its .6 cube. Used use 4 bags for a wall , 5 for a floor. Haven't used it in several years . Cost of ingredients versus readymix not really stacking up.

That sounds rather on the weak side to me. These days in our Fliegl pan mixer I rarely use less than 8 bags for a sensibly strong mix - that's mixed with a 900kg bulk bag of sand/ballast.
Usually do 4-5 mixes a year with it on average - awkward spots I couldn't get a readymix lorry to, or small batches like round manhole covers, a base for a garden shed that type of thing. It also comes in handy for small building projects - can build a block wall shuttering one day, fill behind it with a mix or two, then the next day build up a bit more, then fill in behind etc. etc. There are things you can do with a pan mixer that you can't with readymix as you'd have to have the full 6 cube in one day, not spread across 2-3.

Busy making some round bales. Behind the baler you can see the maize silage standing very well. First time in 10 years where we are able to make bales in February. Usually January and February just to dry and the cows eat all the available pastures. Been a very good start for 2020. Farming in Eastern Cape, South Africa
