Even if he thought it was four holes @ 60x60x60cm then 1m^3 would

A five-fold overkill.

You forgot there were 3 holes?


Doesn't 6 to 1 mix mean 6 parts sand to 1 part concrete.

Nope 6 parts gravel, 1 part cement.

Six parts ballast to one part cement.


It isnt ballast.


Gravel isn't ballast, but it's ballast that's used: a mixture of sand and
gravel.
