Unpopular opinion: Hand mixing mortar is better than using a machine for small jobs
I used to use a mixer for everything, but after a 20-square-foot garden wall last month, I tried mixing by hand on a board and the mortar felt way more consistent. The machine seemed to leave dry pockets in the batch no matter how long I ran it. Am I crazy or does hand mixing actually give you better control on tight work?

Yeah that dry pocket thing is real. Hand mixing fixed it for me too.
