From How to Pour a Concrete Landing Pad for Deck Stairs, Step 5: Mix and Pour Concrete
Prepare the concrete mix in a wheelbarrow, typically two bags at a time. Create a depression or 'bowl' in the center of the dry mix and pour water into it. Use a shovel to gradually mix the cement from the edges into the water, continuously adding more water as needed until you achieve a consistency similar to thick soup. Pour the mixture into the prepared forms, spreading it with a rake or shovel to ensure it fills all voids and crevices and removes any trapped air. Overfill the forms slightly to allow for screeding.
