put it in a plastic bag, tape it up air tight. finally keep it off the ground on a bit of wood or something to stop moisture from the floor rising into it. remember it wont last for much longer than a month anyway.
good luck

I work at a retailer that sells bags of concrete. The vendor that we get the concrete from has actually supplied us with plastic bags to store the stuff in if our bags break. They are nothing more than a thin poly bag and they work great. Just as a failsafe I would put the plastic bag in a bucket with a lid or something. Hope that helps.

That's because of moisture, the dry cement will draw moisture to it causing it to solidify. Try bagging it in an air tight plastic bag and store it in a warm, dry place with no moisture.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/9GP17
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

as said in a plastic sealed bag
even if it has gone hard if it can be crumbled it is still usable this is known as AIR SET but if its been left to long then its rubbish or hardcore

It must be taking on moisture. How about putting it in a plastic bucket, like a compound bucket or one that kitty litter comes in?

That's because it gets damp. It needs to be tightly wrapped in heavy polythene and then taped up with that wide, brown tape and stored in a DRY place - garage or rainproof shed.

It goes hard because moisture has got to it. It has to be in an airtight bag xxx

plastic bag inside a large drywall bucket if you have one. Bucket makes it easier to carry.
