Even if it does there's no real problem. If you've got the sort of
mixer that goes on a rotating stand it may make life easier if you can
position the mixer so that you shovel the ballast straight into it
then rotate and tip straight into the trench, rather than barrowing
wet concrete (which is heavy)

About a couple of hours it stays more or less liquid..

Oh bugger. The cat's having kittens behind the 19" rack and theres
placenta all over the place.

Excuse me...nature calls..
