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

Does anyone know? Thanks
