When considering whether to use a finer or coarser mesh, consider the composition of your soil. If your soil is light and friable with little stone or root particles that you want to remove, a fine mesh should work well. If, however, you have loamy or clay-type soil that typically forms clumps with few stones or roots poking out, a coarse mesh will be able to manage the material better. The rotating drum is positioned perfectly so that the sieved material can fall into a wheelbarrow conveniently placed underneath the drum. Because the drum is positioned at an angle, the unwanted coarse material falls into a container placed behind the rotating drum. In this manner, both sieving and separating are performed at the same time.

Overall I love this product. Unlike many other plastic sieves, UPP’s product feels very sturdy and like it will not break after only a few uses. It is made of polypropylene which makes it more durable than metal ones (and means no rust issues). The UPP garden sieve includes two interchangeable types of mesh - a 4mm mesh and a 10mm one. These meshes can be used together or independently, depending on your needs at the time (clearing pond water vs removing weeds from the soil). The mixing process – and the mixing of different soil types – can also be done with the rotating sieve. Moreover, if you are unfortunate enough to have stony ground, you can sieve the stones from the soil and return the stone free soil to your garden. Even the children’s sandpit can be regularly cleaned and sieved. The Tierra garden sieve is made of recycled materials and polypropylene, so you don’t have to feel too bad about using it. The frame on this model looks like the UPP garden sieve, which means that it will be equally as robust for any task at hand!

If you have a lot of soil or compost to sift, then a smaller tray like one of those mentioned above may not be the easiest way to proceed. You could consider getting more serious with a 560 x 400 rotary soil sieve with a crank handle to turn to get the material through. The depth of the drum is 150mm.Garden soil typically contains various types of debris. Old coins, screws, nails and glass are just a few examples of the items that can end up in garden soil. Newly planted flowers, plants, and crops need to have a clear path for them to get through. Debris on the surface will create an impediment and prevent them from getting out of the ground. So we know that it is important to get rid of foreign objects on our soil, but how can you achieve this? One way would be by using a garden sieve, also known as a soil sieve, soil sifter or garden sift.

When you're sifting wet soil or compost, be sure to let it dry first. The ground will become more efficient when the process is made easier as a result of drying instead of being damp and hard to work with.Because the drum is positioned at an angle, the unwanted coarse material falls into a container placed behind the rotating drum. In this manner, both sieving and separating are performed at the same time. The rotating sieve has been designed so that the feed entrance is totally free of any obstruction. Thus making the filling of the drum as comfortable as possible. The galvanized wire mesh is extremely strong, weather-resistant and can hold a lot of dirt at once. This makes it perfect for those who like to plant large gardens with lots of plants! Be sure to shake and dump out the sieve of debris regularly so that it doesn't have a chance to clog up!
