Sieved soil drops out the bottom, into a barrow if you wish, and the
stones, roots etc are ejected out the end into a bucket or barrow.


I have no commercial interest in Scheppach, just a very satisfied
customer.
There is video of the thing in action he-

For that price you could go to B&Q and buy well over 5250cu ft of
multi pourpous compost, or almost 6000cu ft if you get pensioners
discount on a wednesday.
And I have no conection to the afore said firm.

Don't let them get you down Bob. We all need a few toys in the
garden, they make life more interesting. Me, when I need one I
shall probably make something like this.
