I know the mixture. What I don't know is how much water to put in with the bag of cement and the fifty shovels-full of gravel.

Do you dump the water in all at once or mix it dry and then add, or trickle it in during the process? How often do you have to stop and scrape down the sides of the mixer to get the stuff to blend?

If the Fergie turned too quickly, what is the right speed in rpm's on the tractor?

BTW: my dad's mortar mix proved excellent over many bags of portland this summer: 3 sand, 1 portland, 1/4 seal-bond. If it proves too sticky to get out of the mixer, dilute with 1 sand. I put three tons of this onto the interior walls of the stone house I'm renovating and it worked very well.
