If you have a concrete place near you, renting a "u-cart" or whatever they may
be called at your QTH is better than mixing it yourself. When I put in the
base for a Rohn 25 tower I made it bigger and deepart and the specs called for
and gave the u-car (concrete p[lant folks) what strength I anted and they had
it ready for me. It was about 2 years, but they had different size carts. I
towed mine behind my Suburban.
Most places require you to return the "cart" semi-clean so I just took it up to
a u-do-it car wash place and washed the excess concrete out.
