Adrian...
Clive's comments are on-point. However, if you try to mix at the
site, you will have to schlepp both bags of 'crete and water. It
might be easier to mix below, and have a powered means to transport
mixed concrete. IF that proves true...then it may be as well to have
redi-mixed 'crete delivered, and spend the energy transporting batches
to the foundations, instead of mixing.
Do NOT partially pour a foundation in batches, and expect to have anything
but
conformally shaped rocks holding up your tower. Depending on the time
between
pours, it likely won't bond properly.
