Just had my bricks delivered and will shortly start trying to assemle them into something that resembles a garden wall :D

Given the time of year and the likelyhood of colder weather (not had frost yet but it was 2C one morning), should I be adding anything else to my mortar mix besides the obvious cement, sand & plasticiser ?

Cheers

Paul

you dont lay any bricks unless its 4 deg and rising
and you will need to cover any BWK with hessian at this time of year
stick to that and you wont need additives
