Foundations for a barn not a house - no building regulations apply. The reason for trench foundation instead of concrete pads for barn supports was to allow retaining walls/cattle or horse crush walls with steel supports to be be installed. Barn and wall been up for some time and no problems with foudations . Yes wet concrete means less strong concrete but with limited self help manpower its easier to pour. Its a compromise. Rebar, drier mix and more manpower to pour means stronger foundations.
Cool video.
