Just make one - or in January's mag on Pg 77 there is a 2 in 1 sieve given a review. Caught my eye but might be a bit small for your needs but you could easily copy that idea on a larger scale with what is available in most DIY stores.

Years ago my OH built two wooden frames the size of the top of our wheelbarrow, one with large mesh, one with small mesh (available from builders' merchants). You just sit the frame you want on top of the wheelbarrow, the good stuff falls through, the rubbish stays on top. By having two different gauges, you can choose whichever is appropriate for the task in hand.

I did exactly the same Monika, used 20mm square wire did all my allotment and it,s still in good fettel!

I made a slightly smaller one with 10 mms square mesh I then bought one with a rotary handle similar to a Clarks one, it just depends how much soil you have to sieve

How much time do you have? If 6 moths check out Charles Dowding no dig approach.

On building sites in the early sixties, they used a grading frame, an "A" frame with mesh on one side, then just chuck a shovel full of sand and gravel at it, the larger stones would roll down the front, I have made one for my plot to remove stones from my sandy soil you can move it around where needed and fold it flat when not in use, I used 1/2" weld mesh.

Abracadabra made a post with a link to an American price comparison site for weedkillers, they gone!

How did you do it Peter ,abracadabra vamoosh

KG Web team gave moderators an expunging tool, delete a user and all their posts in one go.
Used to be tedious getting rid of the dodgy posts, not any more.

You sound really excited by the upgrade like we did - well when we got our head around it obviously!
