1. A method of mixing fiber reinforced concrete without the formation of fiber balls therein, comprising the steps of:
- a. depositing a uniform layer of randomly oriented substantially individual concrete reinforcing fibers on an elongated web;
b. coiling the web so as to contain the fibers within the convolutions of the web, the fibers being otherwise unattached to the web;
c. locating the coiled web in proximity to a concrete mixing device;
d. progressively uncoiling the web at a predetermined rate to discharge the layer of fibers therefrom to progressively deposit the fibers in said mixing device; and
e. mixing the deposited fibers with concrete ingredients in the mixer.
