If you have stony soil and want to sieve it without the back ache and

and it performs really well.

Bit pricey for my pocket!!! :-(

In best Heath-Robinson fashion the couple of occasions over the years
I've needed to do a lot of sieving I've arranged a wobbly stand for my
home made sieve, which is a wooden frame with suitable sized chicken
wire nailed on, and then strapped my orbital sander to it. The sander
can be locked on and the speed adjusted to hit the resonant frequency
of the lashup.

Out of junk, and a trolley which once belonged to B&Q. It works well as I
shovel stuff in and a slave turns it by hand.

Bah, far too neat. I'm deficient in the handy slave department too so
motorisation is necessary.

That is exactly what I am looking for!!! Any chance you could deliver it to me tomorrow?
