Excellent soil sifter

[BillsBayou]

It's probably sold out, but it is something to keep an eye on. I'm not an affiliate. This link and review will not provide me any compensation. However I'm willing to accept admiration in small doses.

Here's the SIFTER LINK ON AMAZON
Product Name: "Soil Sifter for Gardening with 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 mm Sieve Mesh Compost Dirt Sifter with Handle Large Garden Sand Soil Rock Sieve 17.7" l x 13.8" W for Sand Rocks Pellet Gravel"

The handles are comfortable. The screens snap snuggly into place. The finest screen uses a strong feeling wire. Includes 5 screens. The smallest screen removes dust. The largest removes very large particles. The smallest and largest sizes are outside my typical range for bonsai soil, which makes this sifter perfect for bonsai soil sifting. I needed to remove large particles from 85 gallons of haydite. I did the job using the second to largest screen. This large sifter made quick work of the haydite. The larger size on the sifter is beneficial in two ways. First, you can obviously sift more soil than a smaller sifter. Second, the larger size allows for more particles to touch the screen as well as getting more action on the particles. This is a great replacement for my old sifter.

Let me know if you agree with me on how good this is.

I got creative and built one out of scrap wood I had laying around. Made quick work of bulk sifting.

Attach an industrial vibrator to your setup:

I just want one that sits inside of a 5 gallon bucket but doesn't fall in.

Dang that’s like a giant Lego sorter.

That's a great looking sieve @Gaitano
I like making things and would like to make one similar.
How did you attach the mesh to the wooden frame?
Thanks,
Greg

I used 1”x1” pieces to sandwich the screen to the bottom, with wood glue pressed into the space between the two pieces of wood. I secured a 1”x1” on the inner corners to strengthen the overlap. The tops of the fence posts were used on the ends to hold the two sieves together.

Thank you for your instructions and detailed photos. I was worried about the weight of the substrate pulling the mesh away from the frame. I can now see how you have proofed against this. Also, the spear-shaped fence post tops add a splash of pizazz. I like it!
I'm going to follow your design this winter.
Thanks again,
Greg
