Sifting
I've
created a great way to sift that's easy to handle, easy to store and easy to
use.
Let me preface by saying I had a big sifter made out of 2x4's. It was heavy and
hard to use.
I was at my local .99 store when I had an inspiration, a vision- a picture in my
head.
I bought 3 of their cheap one gallon buckets.
I cut the bottom out of 2 of them. I hot glued regular hardware cloth onto the
bottom of one, and screen into the bottom of the other.
I put the Hardware cloth bucket inside of the screen one. Then I throw a scoop
of dirt (See Soil Page)
inside of the bucket.
I shake it a few times, and it sifts out the huge particles, and drops the useable soil components into the window screen bucket. I then shake that, and the remaining dirt is perfect! then I pour that onto the third, untouched bucket, and voila! Perfect organic!
