I thought I would make a short video on a fairly easy way to mix concrete by hand in a wheelbarrow. Sometimes if you only need a small amount of concrete and you don’t have the use of a concrete mixer mixing it in a wheelbarrow can be the best option.
I have seen many people spending ages mixing up the sand/chippings and cement together then adding water and spending yet more time that this may be of interest.
I first of all put half of the sand and gravel in the front half of the wheelbarrow, then half the cement followed by the other half of the sand and gravel and the rest of the cement.
The key to this is to make sure it is all in the front of the wheelbarrow.
Pour in about half a bucket of water and work the sand, gravel and cement back into it making sure you get down to the bottom of the wheelbarrow. move the mixed concrete to the front add the rest of the water and repeat the process.
Then it is just a question of working it over for a couple of minutes making sure there is no unmixed material at the bottom.
