If you go the bag mix route -- rent a small mixer from your nearest
home improvement store. These typically hold two bags of mix (along
with 7/8 gallon of water per bag). You can mix two bags in a couple of
minutes, and they cost abotu $50 / day.
Mixing by hand is a huge amount of effort, and it's hard to get a
consistent mix. If you are going to do 30-40 bags instead of getting
ready-mix, the cost of the small mixer is well worth it.
