Hmmm, first time we poured concrete we used an old mixer that ran off a washing machine motor. Bought a truckload of sand, a load of gravel, both of which we hauled ourselves from the local quarry and then got 94lb bags of Louisville/Portland cement...and poured a whole lot more than little stepping blocks, lol.

@@MrKistel Turned out fine. I don't think we had any actual rebar so we ended up using everything from an old net wire fence to fence posts as a substitute. Pappy drove a truck for CT Hertzch and the hauled for and were right across the road from the Louisville/Portland cement plant in Speed, Indiana and so got the cement bags deeply discounted. We poured our front porch, a walkway to the driveway, a border around the gravel driveway, a foundation for a pole barn and most of its floor except in the pens where we put up our cattle and horses at night. Our neighbor was always on hand to help so we did some pouring jobs at his place too to return the favor.

Don't mix it t his way. Use a wheel barrel and a rake. Position the wheel barrel so you can add water on the downhill side. Use rake to blend the edges into the water. That way you can control the water and you don't get clumps. Then you can dump concrete into form without much shoveling. Also level form with stakes. And you don't need rebar for stuff like that.

Uh . . . guess you live in an environment where the ground doesn't freeze, otherwise, that pad is going to shift and buckle. Good luck with that. Otherwise, get an auger, dig down three feet, place a rebar rod, fill will concrete, lay gravel, lay chicken wire, THEN lay your concrete.

Concrete cures for a long time and needs moisture throughout that process. A fuller cure should make for stronger concrete. That is what the chemistry folks say at least. In reality many people do not worry about this step however.

A few pieces of rebar is cheap insurance. It’s less about load and more about giving the pad elasticity to resist cracking & breaking apart over time. I’d recommend striving to do more than the bare minimum
