Five and  one is the accepted hand mix mate .To work out quantity of ballast needed -length x width x depth ie 4 m x 6 m x .1 =2.4 m2.The square meterrage is then times by 2.2 which is the bulk of loose quantity in weight = 5.28 tonnes of ballast .8 bags of cement to the ton =42 bags of cement .

Concrete mixers are 3m2 ,6m2 and 8m2 

You pay  a part load charge for anything that isn’t a full load .

Reinforce it mate either 10 mm or 12 will do ,40 odd quid for 2.4 m x 4.8 m 

There ,been longing to put some of you  messers in your place for ages ,have that .

Don't mean to piss in your cream soda, but this isn't going to hold up without two litre plus of washing up liquid poured in for good measure

I want the whole garden concrete and nice flags. I'm sick of 2 terriers and 2 boys digging holes everywhere. All my growing is going to be raised beds from now on as well 

Are you still after a quote?

As you can see, I won't be beaten on quality
