That works using extra rapid cement but it's not the cheapest. Not sure whether you'd use more or less cement with normal cement.


When fitting a Y anchor type thing then try get some lengths of rebar rod and bash them into the ground around it.
Pea gravel isn't really the best to use in concrete. You want something a bit more angular to get enough aggregate interlock.
