A cementitious mixture that is comprised of class C fly ash and other
industrial waste product such as either bottom ash or economizer ash. The
mixture is preferably 15-35% weight class C fly ash based on the total
weight of the mixture. The mixture excludes Portland cement, or other
similar cement products. The dry mixture is placed in a desired location
or form. Water is then added to the mixture when desired in order to
harden the mixture in place. The cementitious mixture is particularly
useful for securing fence posts, or the like, in the earth as the
workability of the mixture is maintained by adding the water to the
mixture only after the position has been properly plumbed and placed in
the hole. The cementitious mixture thus provides an inexpensive
alternative to standard blended cement products, and provides a
convenient and effective way of securing fence posts to the earth.
