Anyone has a better method of getting a better mix?

I prefer to start with the suggested amount of water, then add the mix until
it gets "right". You have to have enough cement, though, in case you put
too much water in to start. Just read the directions, and start with that
amount of water.

As a young boy; using a wheel barrow and shovel. Dried material first,
then water and yes have extra/plenty of cement.

Grand Dad was building a grease trap/cement to bury in the ground. I
got to work the shovel
