Wooden raised bed - Concrete mix to set first course on

[Bishopscourt]

hi one and all,
to start with a big thanks to the site for the info on it that i have used in the past , so the garden has been has been dug out and the type 1 has been whackered to 4 inches thickness. on this i am about to construct a raised bed made from incised treated softwood that comes in 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m . i have the timberlock screws , angle brackets for the corners and plain fixing straps for inner faces.i wish to set the first "course" level by bedding it down on a concrete mix. i will be using a small electric mixer, it will be seven rows in height so bringing it to correct height for SWMBO , the wood will be sat down on the 200mm face, what would be a good "mix" for this bedding layer so giving me the opportunity to set it level, many thanks in advance for your time spent on answering this for me.
