My local Home Depot and Lowes both sell bulk sand/gravel pre-mixed (in 9 cubic ft sacks) for $29. A yards' worth of this aggregate mix would run $87. The gravel in this mix are 3/4" in size, if that matters. But I don't know what this sand to gravel ratio is. I assume it's roughly 2 parts sand and 3 parts gravel?
At what ratio should I mix Portland cement? One shovelful for every 5 shovelfuls of agrregate?
I have bags of cement which I picked up real cheap. I'm mainly using this to pour footings and to fill block cores.
