Trying to fix up my old patio and pour some small slabs here and there, but those massive concrete mixers you rent seem like overkill for one old lady just trying to do it herself. Honestly, hauling bags and mixing by hand with a shovel feels like a good way to throw my back out. Curious if any of you have clever tricks or low-tech tools for small batch mixing, or if there are new gadgets in 2026 that might make mixing solo less of a pain. Would love any ideas or suggestions from others who've tackled this alone!
