This week's contraption.
I do a LOT of soil sieving - in my work, large garden projects have soil removed/added by the lorry load, but with smaller ones, I'll bag it up and bring it home to be sieved, mixed with organic matter and then re-used elsewhere.
I'm also opening up the large 'compost' bins, which in reality are just aged cold piles of sticks, grass cuttings and chicken poo.
So it was a long overdue project to make a wheelbarrow frame for (much) quicker processing: the frame itself has a fixed one-inch mesh for initial sorting, and there's a removable half-inch mesh for finer grading afterwards.
Put about half a dumpy bag of waste soil through it yesterday, and will do about a cubic metre of compost today, mainly for throwing into the beds.
Should have done this AGES ago.

Hmm… a wind motor to shake the sieve so, even if not fast, you can make other things in the while… -
In truth, most stuff falls through pretty easily, and a quick stir by hand (think “Wax on/wax off”) sees to the rest. After years of sieving through small riddles, I need to have *some* involvement!
