Howdy all, this weekend was our first try at PC.

Sat I set a buch of torn stuff into wheelbarrow and added water.

Kept turning and tearing some, but carboard, coateds,a dn strips of
newsprint werent pulping apart.

LSS, I used a 4 stroke string trimmer with approx 2 inhces line
sticking out to finish pulping. Now have a wheelbarrow almost full
to the top with oatmeal-ish pulp.

I have a 60 pound cement, do you all think its enough for a
contractor wheel barrow full to top with pulp?

Planning to pour after work sometime this weeek, or Sunday if can tdo
after work. Sat is not an open day for us this week.

I have a 2 ft by 4 ft frame built, and will make another before I mix
and dispense. Using steel poultry netting as reinforcement.

Wish us luck, and let me know how much cement I should addd to pulp?

Thanks, Dave
