Did you ram pack it? Didn't see you do that. Good job all the same.

Would love to see how this has lasted over time… I’d love to do this in my garden for a small sitting area and some pathways

cement washes away with water. use white glue.

How is it holding up after a few years?

I use this dirtcrete as a base for 12×12 pavers at a grade for drainage. It's lasted for 20 years under the pavers. Using broken old cement chunks helps also. Money saver.

Looks terrible lol 😂

3 year update anytime soon?

Nice ! Is it drivable with vehicules ?

Can’t believe how good this turned out

I would like to see it a year from the time it was done

Good job Murray!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great music. Where's The Wave?

I still rember her she was the best friend ohh what some good times

I don't know how to say this and not offend people who do soil-cement work hoping that they stabilize the soil and/or prevent weed from growing: for all practical reasons this is so pointless and also is soooo wrong for nature ! All that cement will get washed away eventually and go to underground water ! I do not understand how this is not obvious. I can understand that in some instances it is used for geotechnical applications , but it must be mixed with aggregates and compacted to a certain degree and then some pavement would be laid upon (no rain water in contact with the cement from that mix). In this clip the soil-cement was not mixed AND compacted, so it is just wasted time, money and hope. Zero pro's. Whoever is watching this and dares to put their brain to good use, may not want to replicate this. Sorry for being critical. To make matter worse, I was looking up for some technical references and came across this: www.cement.org/cement-concrete/cement-specific-materials/soil-cement I can understand why the cement manufacturers want people to believe this is a good thing to do: they make money out of this. People, dare to so NO !

Thanks matt, helped me on a project I'm working on.

Does this prevent or reduce weeds?

why does this look better then what i can cook lol

Looks delicious!

Can you show how to make your world famous Sundried

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing this🙂

This looks delicious! I am going to try this. Love your narrator too! He is so cute!

Nice work man 😁👍

Should ve mixed with sand

it should be a mist of water otherwise you make divits

Maybe self level would help I love it 😻

Can’t imagine this will stand the test of time

Dumb idea. It will crack eveywhere and look terrible. I would use 1 1/4" washed crushed rock 2" deep. Looks better and takes a beating.

Love this video!!!💕

It looks really good!!! Don't have to worry about keeping weeds out! Yay!! Those weeks grows back too fast! Thanks for your video!

Those halibut are small.

Should have rented a landscape rake.

To much water

What cultivator?

Thank you! This is kinda the idea I was wondering about and I appreciate the video and the information! It looks great!

I know poured concrete is expensive, but I just can't see this holding up well at all, even for a few years. Save your money, watch KZbin videos, and mix your own concrete a little at a time, maybe a 10 by 10 square. Hard work but not that much more expensive and a thousand times better. Better if you buy washed sand and aggregate, many pre mix companies offer it, and mix with Portland cement 5 to 1 ratio. If you do use sacked concrete, add about a quarter to half shovel of Portland cement to each 80 lb. Sack of concrete mix. Also same amount of fine sand, will finish much nicer.

I'm sorry, this looks like crap

Thankyou so much! this gives me great ideas for walkways around our acreage!

I love to see people go for it. Good job.

Half inch? That'll last...

If you want a nicer finish you can always put a concrete skim coat over it later and even stamp it and color it.

I hate to throw cold water on your mud pie surface idea but that was a lot of wasted time and money. Mixing portland cement with dirt and only 1/2" to 3/4" thick it isn't going to take long before that is going to crack into little pieces. The hot and cold expansion/contraction is going to destroy it especially if you live in a place that freezes. This is a prime example of getting what you pay for.

I would like to ask ? Are you using pure cement?

It's called dirtcrete and you would normally till the cement into the top two inches of soil, level, moisten and allow to dry. That way you won't end up with a thin layer of concrete that cracks easily.

THIS LOOKS GREAT.

I probably would have tilled before throwing down the cement to get all the bark and anything else that didn't need to be there.

Look good great idea

did you do a follow up video or can you tell me how it held up. With the low spots do you think you could drill a few holes and level the holes individually? I have similar ideas but i also have to consider i live in central Ontario Canada and we get freeze and thaw cycles all winter.

Hey you know what, I could appreciate this, a lot of us don't have thousands of dollars to pay and have the pros do it, wish I did. I'm trying to do a carport all by myself right now and it's not easy. But I want one so bad that I'm just going to keep trying. That's what we got is KZbin 💪

Bravo!!! I love people who take risks. Great rewards. I love it!
