I am not sure if you want to find a more sophisticated method of MIXING it or if you are looking for the forumla to MAKE concrete but if you wanted to make your own concrete it consists of equal volume amounts of cement, sand, and gravel. Cement itself is made up of limestone, gypsum, and clay. And if you wanted a more sophisticated method of mixing it, get a 5 gallon plastic paint bucket with a lid. Pour the dry concrete and water into the bucket and then close up tightly and start rolling the bucket.
Roll it for about 20 minutes and you will have nicely mixed concrete.

oftentimes in case you're discussing concrete mixture designs, you're talking with regards to the climate that bypass into the mixture, like combination, cement, admixtures, water, etc. this would have not have been given something with length and width of the pour your attempting to make. If it is all your interested in, you're only attempting to be sure the quantity of the pour so which you will convert to cubic yards for ordering the concrete.
