Depends what you're going to use it for, and what the ground is like.

For the best result you will need atleast 4 inches of compacted hardcore under it and make sure that at it's thinnest the concrete is atleast 2 inches deep and reinforced with rebar if poss

It's just for small slope to aid getting in and out of the garden, might just stick with the rubber ramp thats there if it's gonna be a hassle !

Lay it like you would normally, whack some gravel it with it, tap it down, don't let it dry out to quickly...

I can make it, laying it down is another thing, and straight onto ' mud ' would mean it would move and crack afaik !

Think i may just lay the slabs upto the gate, cut the bottom few inches of the gate

What sort of size we talking? You use a surprising amount of sand concreting. Is it just for wheeling a bike over.

The rise is about 6 inch max, the slope area will be around a tad over a M square, ?

Use a paving slab. 3x2 if you can find one.
Imagination will do the rest.
