Good job.

Ta, Earthgrrl!
The mixing was done in a big mortar-box outside (a member owns the mortar box). The mixing was done in 3 or 4 batches and brought in for individuals to use, carrying the small portions in cat-litter buckets (hmmm, wonder where they got those
).
We also spread plastic sheets over the floor to protect the carpet. We actually didn't leave a mess behind at all, surprisingly.
If I recall, the recipe we used included peat and vermiculite and sand, and a little latex admix, but I didn't do the mixing. We had hardware cloth and copper wire to use for rebar. Chopsticks and dowel for drain/wire holes. Rubber gloves. fun fun fun
