3. How do I work out how much concrete to mix? considering that bags of
cement and ballast are sold by weight and holes in the ground are

Close enough is 1 cubic metre = 1 tonne.

How tall is this lamp post? What is it made of? What is attached to
what will be the top?


And how exposed to the wind is the location? What would be suitable for a
sheltered suburban garden wouldn't be any good up here...
