I need to make some concrete (approx 4-2-1) and I have a large amountof MOT (crushed limestone I guess).I only need about 0.1 m^3 of concrete.Can I use the MOT as ballast, instead of going to B&Q and grabbingbags of gravel and sand etc ?Thanks,Simon.

you'll still need sand but I expect yes go for it (unless missioncritical but that quantity and mix ratio I doubt it will be a prob)what's going to be doing?cheersJimK

compacted?

MOT AIUI is a specification for particle sizes, it need not be a particular rock.....you can even get it made from crushed concrete.....not that weak then?

?free draining?
