How To Lay A Patio

[hollyg8508]

Hello,

I am making a patio in my garden for general use.

It seems to me there are two techniques of laying the slabs...

1. Laying slabs on a dry mix of sharp sand and cement.

2. Laying slabs on a wet Mortar bed.

I would like to use the second technique of a wet mortar bed, and want to know weather to use sharp sand or builders sand for this mortar mix? and at what ratio?

Does anyone know? Thanks
