This stuff is $5.97/50 lb bag at Home Depot, and it made our life 100x easier today at the new farm school! We were setting posts for the play yard fence. Tina's husband Brian and his friend dug post holes on Friday with a rented auger, and to set the posts we placed 4x4s in the hole, Brian checked for level, then he and Jesse opened a bag of this stuff and poured it in the hole around the post. Next, Brian added a gallon of water or so, and Tina or I held the post for a couple of minutes until the post set. That was it!If you are a girl, and you want to do a small project like patch a sidewalk, build a ramp, set a post for a mailbox or something in your garden, use this! Don't be intimidated by "CONCRETE"! And, if a man you know is doing something around the house or yard that involves concrete, and he says, "In order to do this project, I'll need to rent a big hairy concrete mixer, stand outside in the heat drinking beer while it mixes, haul it with my new wheelbarrow" ("blah, blah, blah, I want to buy and rent big tools" or "I don't want to do this complicated project"), you need to tell him to chill out and buy the Quikrete in the red bag at Home Depot . . . pour, add water, done.
Love, Leslie
