I don't know about everybody else, but ever since I've found this site, I have searched the archives for formulas and recipies and mixes and what ever hit I could think of and have squirreled away multi files of this information, I've saved everything from ferro cement recipies to padobe and papercrete. Anybody can do it if they want to put forth the effort. Most all the do'ers on this site have shared their mixes graciously, and from all this information I decided which one worked best for my area, and wheather I was going to make stones, blocks or T-lock-Blox, each application is to be handled differently.

I agree with you. It is hard to get that all together and with working with
Judith I can see that the mix formula is an ongoing progress not a standard
formula every time. I think this is the case with many people. I think it is
great that someone is taking on the job of building a data base but I also
think that just a simple file of some of the mixes used and for what kind of
project is also good. Something to look through to get a idea for us that
pretty much wing it and just need a general idea. I know that the time I've
spent on the list there has been quite a few mixing formulas that have come
though and I thought it would be good to get these into an area easy to
find. If Doris and Ron would like to add more info about their formula I've
put in the file, it's easy to do just go in and edit it. I know that I've
tried to find a general mixing formula before in the past posts, it was not
easy.
