After double-checking your measurements and levels, add water to concrete mix per directions on the bag. Use a large bucket or wheelbarrow to mix the concrete. When the concrete reaches the desired consistency, which should be like an extra-thick milkshake, pour in holes. Wait approximately 24 hours or whatever the directions say on your concrete mix.
