The 8mm mesh in this rotary soil sieve will help to make the finest soil imaginable, ideal for potting up seedlings at the start of the season, or for removing sticks and stones from compost. For best results, it is recommended that the sieve is stood up in a wheelbarrow, so the sieved matter is collected in the pan. Simply pour the soil or compost into the hopper and turn the spring-loaded handle; the sorted soil falls out of the base.
