Hi All,

The day after laying my last few slabs ( Eight if I'm lucky!)
there is a good deal of bedding mix left around the edges which I have to cut off to take the next slabs.

Obviously this will have 'gone off' and can't be used as it is.
Is there any reason why this can't be mixed in with the next fresh batch rather than discarding it?

Thanks in advance.......Caff

If you can break it up and return it to a granular form (powder or similar), then it can be 'livened up' by adding fresh cement, but if it's lumpy and hard, best to avoid.
