How do you mix 3000 lb concrete?
There is a type of truck called a cement mixer, which carries a large, rotating container in which cement or concrete can be mixed. That's what I would use, if I needed to mix 3000 pounds of concrete. Alternatively, to mix by hand, I would put it in a large container and stir it with a canoe paddle. But that would be very strenuous. Also, it is a lot easier to pour, if it has been mixed in a cement mixer. If you mix it in some other container, pouring it is going to be a major challenge.
