[QUOTE="Topper, post: 118252, member: 186250"] No bill a dry mix is cement sand and gravel, no water. The problem with this is that you are relying the moisture from the earth being absorbed by the mixture which will eventually harden, which is fine if you can ensure the pole will not be moved at all for a week or so, but who can do that!!! A dog cat pidgeon squirrel or strong wind could ruin your handy work. Concrete should be wet to ensure an even cure slowly. In very hot counties concrete is doused with water every day for about a month after the shuttering is removed to stop it cracking. [/QUOTE]
