These sizes have all been built many times with cooperative manual labor, and without a pump. Hand work is more relaxed and creates a larger social occaision. The smallest sizes may easily be mixed in a wheelbarrow or using the ancient Roman method of mixing the sand and cement on the ground, or inside on the floor of the cistern. Add hand mixed water via a formed crater on top of the mixed pile. A power plaster mixer will be helpful for the larger sizes, especially if there is a labor shortage.
