This weekend my grandson and I will make our compost sifter and bed garden that is thanks keep up the great work.
Your setup looks nice but I have just one question what was the dimensions of your unit he did not say that in your video
What is the intro song?
I did this with some 2 by 4s and chicken wire. I need a finer sifter though, great video!
Great tips! I made and used one today for $7.99…a wonderful addition to the garden! For those asking about size, mine is 18" by 38".
Thanks! I love this, i have no knowledge about basic carpentry, this helps a lot.
Thank you!
you have the greatest gift on talking s–t and saying very little. did you realize that? and you get two thumbs down====well earned
Great, informative, excellent video! Made one of these for my pine pellet cat litter. Along with another video, it helped me navigate the tools/skills I needed to build one of these myself. ZERO carpentry experience, but with YOUR video + a few extra tools purchased from local lumber mill, I came out with a complete cat litter sifter designed for 4 litter boxes & 4 cats! Saves me HOURS of work and $$. Love the accent too, adorable! Thank you for your work!
I watched a few other video clips. Yours was the best. Thank you.
Good job. Done flawlessly.
I did mine very similar. I used scrap 2x4s from a fence build. They were pressure treated (maybe not the best idea, but maybe it will make it somewhat weather proof). I don't have a car and only had $10 at the time, so I picked out the 4 pieces of scrap wood. I wanted it to be rectangular, so I picked out the longest 2, cut the longest one to the same size as the second longest one to make the longer side. Went to home depot with my mom (saw some nice crab apple trees there) bought 1/2 inch mesh. Borrowed a Drill, impact driver, 4 hex/star screws and tins nips and put it together. Still had some staples from the fence build but not much, so I had to use a staple gun to compensate. My long side of the sifter isn't that much longer than the short side, so it is closer to a square but it matches the wheelbarrow fine. I left one 2×4 6 inches long so that it could stick out 3 inches on both sides so that I can maybe hang it up like that. I could cut those ends off later if I decide that I don't need that, but so far I like it because it gives it a little foot that I can stand it on when dumping the half decomposed stuff back in the new pile.
The compost that I have been sifting out is nice and this is my first compost harvest ever. It is dark like coffee, looks rich and fertile and smells like a forest floor. All of our compost smells like that when it's in the later stage because the bulk of it is organic yard waste like lawn clippings, brown birch leaves and birch sticks. All of our kitchen waste goes in it too but I can see how if we were limited to just using kitchen waste, the pile wouldn't be as big.
Ouch… The music is way too loud!
Please do try to put the sound a bit more even between music and speak.
Thank you.
Well done, but to me, should be exact size of wheelbarrow so none falls off the sides onto ground and wasted – as sifted compost is precious. Just measure the width and length of wheelbarrow then make it that size, rest it on top, put lots of compost in and rub it in, back and forth, with gloves on. Goes fast. Dump remains that didn't go through sieve into new compost pile.
I saw a guy put like skis on it and you can slide it back and forth over your wheel barrow
Luke, I have a ton of Earth worms in my yard, should I start keeping them? Suggestions?
This was 5.00 for you. That doesn't mean it's 5.00 for most.
Check out this a new, simple, efficient, time and effort saving soil dirt sifting tool called, SWIFT SIFTER. If you like my product please like on the video and leave a comment on my video. Thank you. https://youtu.be/Zd8N4_mG8Tk
Shut up with your $5 bullshit
I cringed when he used the tin snips. Side cutters are a better tool.
Cool video. However, you should take instructions from Woodglut if you want to learn how easy it is to do.
I have done very similar with Stodoys designs.
I've used a trowel or shovel to shift it around, or heavy gloves.
inflated prices of wood make this a $20 project now. thanks goodness for scrap.
Thank you!!! I appreciate this
Well done and narrated. Watching you sift makes my back ache.
If worried about edges add some galv corner for roofing.
I built this in under 1 hr and it works great! Wish I could share picture.
Awesome guitar sounds please share name of band ?cheers
A good cover for small raised bed
