Back in 1992, I put ALL the top 12" of soil from a 50' x 15' garden through a 24"x15" hand riddle on a frame. Made for superb growing conditions after removing more than a ton of stone & built me a lot of muscle... Thankfully the soil in my present garden is dark, largely stone free & much easier to work with.

Great idea i could have used this just lately, i have sieved all the gravel at the bottom of the garden and got 7 wheel barrows of soil out of it, One change you may want to make is put your plywood boards on the inside the frame and it will stop the soil landing and laying on the bottom frame board.

@simplifygardening

Hi yes, I did that in the old one, but its much more work to cut them to the inside due to wheel support and that little bit of soil sitting on the 2x2 timber in negligible so decided the extra work wasn't worth it. Also by having them outside when painted the rain is less likely to get caught up when it got a cover on the top. Thanks for the suggestion though and it will be relevant for those who make their own that may want to implement that :)

Definitely could do with 1 of these, great little machine, I've just spent the last week or so digging and hand picking a ton of smaller rocks, big sandstone rocks, full and half house bricks, loads of weeds, plastic and even a few high heel shoes lol out of the garden of my new house. Ive got 2 areas each about 30m2 so I've seeded 1 area with grass seed and the other is for loads of lovely veg. These video's are coming in incredibly handy as ive never really grew any veg before, although my dad used to have an allotment ive never had green fingers. This lockdown though, got to keep busy somehow and I'm quite enjoying it. After digging all of the lawn side though and half of the veg side i had had enough of picking rubble out (and i had a HUGE pile of it) i decided to do the other half of the veg side as "no dig" so it will be interesting to see the difference between the areas.

Yes but your limited to lifting that on and off each time the barrow is full and when you have real rough soil or compost this will go through a barrow full in a couple seconds

I have been thinking about a 2 x 2 frame; glad I came across yours. I will put my sheet of plywood on the inside of the frame so I don't have to clean the dirt off the lower cross member. Also, for the ends, I will use a locking gate hinge on each end of the lower and upper 2 x 2s so I can disassemble for easier storage; large lot, but minimal storage space. Great job; they work like a charm. Because my frame will be less sturdy, I will use pieces of 2 x 2 at a 45 degree angle to strengthen the side frames. Likely it will be mounted on saw horses; I really like your setup with wheels, but lack of space means set up and take down each time. I live in Oregon and the whole front yard needs sifting. Great job, great visuals helped tremendously. Thanks!

@simplifygardening

Thanks, Tim. Glad it was of interest. I built one around 6 years ago and picked up some ideas from that. the cross members wasn't an issue as its only 2x2 so won't hold a lot of soil and by placing it on the outside it was less intricate cuts so makes it easier for someone to follow the build. They really do make a hard job much quicker and easier. :)

Good build. Top tip. Always bend your thumb into your palm when using a crosscut

Annie you are a star, Thank you again :)

great video, id recommend either putting a tarp underneath or put a board underneath to catch the soil more than having to shovel again just a thought.

Great video Tony. I remember your old one and the amount of work it done. This is the best sifter I have seen anyone build. I've recently got behind the real science of making good compost. I built a 3 bay compost area the first 2 bays are for building up the pile and then turning it between the 2 several times before it is sifted into the last bay which after a period of maturing coir, seaweed, rock dust and vermiculite or perlite is added. (tip here as vermiculite is expensive, Jewson and other builders merchants sell micafill for stove flue insulation. 100 ltr bag for 30 quid. its exactly the same stuff). I was always a bit dubious of the claims people made about making good compost in 6-8 weeks but it's really possible. A compost thermometer is key for when to turn it. around every 7-10 days in my case. turn it 4 times then it's done. It's like compost from the shop. my only problem is I'm still sifting it by hand with a standard round sieve. I did have a plan to build a much larger sieve on wheels in a frame which would help but the whole point of my plot is using all the best proven modern techniques and ruthless efficiency. so no weeding, no watering. everything automated but done extremely cheaply. This would be perfect to put over my final compost bay and save me a huge amount of work. I don't have mains power on my plot so I'd have to do it with a battery drill or dc motor but the rest the same. Thanks for the ideas!

You can use a round plastic laundry basket with small holes to sift soil.

I've seen videos of someone driving a sand sifter/rake on a beach. It is probably very expensive but if you have a large area to cover, may worth renting if you can find one. Or, make something that can be dragged by a small tractor.

That is amazing, what was the total cost ?

WOW. I need this. I'm using the front part of a old fan to filter the crap from my soil. This is wicked. btw. Isn't it better to use treated wood? So it doesn't rot?? Is the cylindrical thing placed at an angle so the crap falls out? Where did you buy the parts from?

@simplifygardening

All the parts came from Ebay. The cylinder in placed in the frame straight so it tracks correct on the wheels, But the rear is then raised by adding the wheels to move the unit which creates the slope needed. I used what timber I had rather than purchasing treated. It was needed quickly and had otherthings to spend my funds on

Could do with one of those for my veg plot, it has no power so would need to run off the cars battery or cig lighter tho. Was going to do it by hand this year, but the bad back ain't up to it. Do you not get people local asking if they can hire it? I'd happily pay to hire if someone local had one.
