Hi Knowledgeable people,
I've just dug up old fence concrete bases etc as fence blew down. Re done concrete bases, put posts up etc.
And now I am looking at the concrete and am worried I've added too much SAND! Panic!!
I looked up the ratio online: aggregate, sand, cement, 4, 2 ,1 I think and bought ballast, sand and cement.
I followed the ratio, with 4 ballast, 2 sand, 1 cement etc. However, I'm worried that the ballast having various size clippings in down to sand, meant I didnt need to add the sand?
Will my concrete last?

Fence-post bedding is a non-challenging job and on that basis, don't stress about it too much.
Your mixture sounds perfectly good - the usual place folks go wrong is adding too much water, but see the first sentence of this answer.
