Buy a 2 foot by 4 foot piece of 3/4 inch plywood, 2 8 foot pieces of 6 inch pine, a hoe, and make a troth to mix it in. I made one and used it to build a concrete block house foundation. Did the concrete footers and all the mortar in it. Built a cabin on a lake with zero access up in Maine many years ago. Had to haul all the block and bags of concrete there in the bucket of a small tractor.

You can mix a lot of concrete in a small scoop troth like that with out a lot of work. Does about two cubic feet at a mix.
