Default Way to mix concrete without a cement mixer

"stryped" wrote in message
...
I have some projects at home for which I am wanting to make my own
concrete with Portland cement, gravel, sand, and of course water. I need a
fair amount of concrete but not all at one time. I don't have a cement
mixer and it would be a pain to rent one every time because I cant do all
these projects in one day or even a weekend. I am wanting to pur a footer
along my driveway to make a brick boarder, and I also have some concrete
edging I want to make.

Is there anything without too much trouble I could fab together that would
be relatively in expensive?

I wondered if a 55 gallon drum and a tractor post hole digger for a mixer
would work?

Any help is appreciated!


Contractor's wheelbarrow, and a mixing hoe. I've mix a lot of small batches
in one.
