If you have stony soil and want to sieve it without the back ache and
arm ache of hand sieving, then I can thoroughly recommend the
electrically powered Scheppach RS400. I've just bought one of these and
it performs really well.

I can also imaging that it will be good for sieving any woody bits from
home compost.

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-

The Video shows it working soil that is dry, sandy and dusty and I wonder
how it would work on soil that isn't.

And if you've got the kind of 'soil' that if you sieve it there's nowt
left......................................?
Actually you don't need to get too excited about a few or indeed a lot
of stones in your soil - it's a total waste of time trying to get them
out. I learned this many years ago when working with a bunch of
sicilians who knew all about stony soil - and they knew how to grow
stuff.
If I can, I bust up very stony ground with a micro digger (goes
through an 80cm gate), then rotavate and work in any organic material
I can lay my hands on, be a bit more generous where significant long
term plants are going to be planted

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.

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.

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.

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