Help, Whats the recipe for concrete

chaos5678

I want to mix some concrete to put down on a hard earth surface, to make a base for an animal run.
It's not flat so I've filled the hollow bits with broken bricks so I won't need as much.

The area is about 4ft by 2ft 6 with the bricks in, I thought I'd do that first


Can someone tell me what mix I need Please

I've got quarry waste, sand and cement

Thank you Shykins.
I thought I'd mix a little bit at a time as I'm not sure how deep
