Rotary Soil Sieve
I'm thinking of buying a rotary soil sieve from Coopers of Storford to speed
up the my compost sieveing. Has anybody any experience of these ? Are they robust enough for about 1 m3 of compost a year? Any comments appreciated. Trefor |

Adverts always gives a favourable picture of item. You can send things back but you must keep the advert as you have to return things to them and the address is very difficult to find. There was some stuff on the Internet about them. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Thanks both. Yes, it would make sense to have a look at one before buying.

Trefor In Central Europe the sieving was done by simply throwing compost, etc against an appropriate mesh stretched on a frame. Say 2'6" wide x 3' tall. Propped at an angle, say 30 degrees from vertical, or less. The angle will also affect the size of particles falling through the sieve. The material rolls down the sieve by gravity, separating into two heaps. At present I get my back aching annually - I use a hand held and hand shaken circular plastic sieve. I am thinking somehow to make it vibrate by attaching a recycled (partially busted) orbital sander to it. Only an idea at this stage! I garden in N Staffs., producing about 2 m3 compost a year and sieving about a half of it, mainly for ring culture of tomatos & general potting. |
