Probably different costs to here in Australia, but what would the
cheapest stuff to use for concrete aggregate for non important
garden shed floor? In grandfathers day they used to use some sort
of ash (fly ash?)or was it crushed slag/

Not sure you can get that anymore.

You sure you want to mix it by hand instead of getting a minimix
truck load ?

And in some ways you need a decent strength concrete
for a shed floor so you get a decent long lived surface
unless you want to put old carpet on it like some do.

I have two cement mixers and plenty of time.

Sure, but its quite a bit of work even just for a shed floor.

But probably cheaper than paving stones etc.

But a lot easier to get a minimix load and a lot better
quality of concrete that wont spall or crumble in use.

But more expensive, So it may be dirt or my way if you have no money.

Why have you ended up with no money ?

I am not completely destitute I have full pension and a fixed deposit
which returns almost no interest but wasting money on concrete and other
things eats into it and sends me backwards. I try for neutral but am not
succeeding any more.

Do you rent or own ? Presumably not rent if you are adding a shed.
