I agree with Jim, but, in most hardware stores, they carry the fine mesh
needed to get rid of fines without losing too much good soil, only as window
screening.

By the time you buy all the minimum size rolls (unless your store sells by
the yard), you will have spent more than the cost of bonsai screens. If you
buy those, make sure that the set includes the 1mm mesh (about the same as
window screening).
