So it works perfectly

Why sift compost

The whole point of sifting compost is to separate ready-made compost from material that has not yet completely rotted. Some materials such as coarser pieces of ace, nutshells or eggshells take longer to rot than, for example, vegetable scraps. You can use the sieving method so that the already finished compost can still be used. In general, nothing speaks against it, too Compost soil to distribute with small pieces of knots on the beds. However, some plants can be sensitive to fresh compost. In addition, unfinished compost removes nitrogen from the soil as it is needed for rotting.

This is the most effective way to sieve the compost

There are basically three ways of effectively sieving the compost: electronic sieving devices are the most convenient way. For most hobby gardeners, however, the costs are disproportionate to the labor savings. Pass-through sieves with galvanized wire are often used. In preparation, a large tarpaulin is placed on the ground, the sieve is set up at an angle and the compost is thrown through vigorously with a shovel. Coarse components fall off, while the finer ones

humus trickles through the sieve.
The third variant is a self-made sieve. To do this, take a wooden frame and cover it with a strong one Wire mesh(€ 17.21 at Amazon *) or rabbit wire (staple).
Both that Pass-through sieve as well as the self-made variant can also be placed on a wheelbarrow for the sake of simplicity. The sieved compost is then immediately available in the cart and can easily be brought to the right place. The disadvantage here is that the coarse components remain on the sieve and are scraped off with the shovel. need to be shaken off the sieve. Try to to put the sieve in the wheelbarrow at an angle. A brick prevents the sieve from slipping.
