complicated if you get the mix right.

Sand is part of the mix........right?

Sand ... dirt ... weeds ...

That's not how you do it? Sand, dirt, weeds... all make for good texture.

I know a stone mason that does stone fire places with real rocks that mixes his morter on a sheet of plywood. He's probaby in his mid 80's and a true artist. He sets on row of rock and takes a few hour break, mixes a little more, lays a dozen more, take another nap.....

I miss seeing some of these old time craftsmen.

Your not kidding. I knew an old carpenter that never used hand held power tools, the guy was insane good at woodworking. You pull out a skill saw and his face would pucker up like he just ate a lemon.
