A short search on google brought up many pages that tell how to make it. You can also check out www.garf.org they have a pretty extensive article about it

what type of concrete mix will work best? and where can i get it.

Portland Cement, available at any Home Depot or Lowe's.

Make sure you use the #3 Portland Cement. And after you make it, cure it in freshwater for a month.

You can use type I/II portland cement, though 3 is supposed to be better. It's just harder to find. I've never had a problem with I/II.
