== Hey all,

== I'm spending inordinate amounts of time sieving my organic material
and
== could use some encouraging words regarding a) better sources, b)
better
== materials, c) better techniques, d) better tools. Currently I'm
using
== pine
== bark, by the bag from lowes/home despot. Typically I double screen
into

the
== effort
== expended. blah, blah, blah.
