Rotasieve

[TonyF]

Bought a rotasieve last year and have just started using it on my compost - it's the mutts nuts, well worth it, long term investment, also great for breaking up drying out soil.

And much less stressful that doing the riddling manually.

I was thinking of my moolie too DDL. I never seem to get around to using it in the kitchen!

Being bit thick here Nick - you put your compost in the big blue tray and then give it a shake? the little holes do the job? I've got quite a few mushroom trays and used them last year to grow my cabbage etc (that were eventually eaten by the cabbage white). How do you make sure your stuff goes through the holes?

Doh! Bernie aka Dexterdog

The advantage of the rotaseive is that you don't have to do all the physical shaking thing, saves on the arms, great if you're getting on a bit and want an easy way to riddle. And I can do the sieving much quicker with this that a conventional riddle.

Price is a bit high but they often come up on special offer in some of the gardening mags.

Did you get it in France Tony and if so how much? Was there any saving on what we pay over here (£49)?

Whats wrong with having the shakes.

No PW, bought in UK and had it shipped here, total cost was £56.

BW, I can think of bertter `reasons for getting the shakes than riddling - ok, let's get the Batman jokes over with!

A spare 45 gallon barrell and a grinder and a bit of welding could make something similar a lot cheaper .Why not put it on legs so you can put the wheelbarrow below it ?
