Antique Soil Sifters

Making sifters had been on our to-do list for some time.  When I needed to sift dirt from my compost pile last spring I resorted to repurposing a barbecue implement that was close enough (and shall never more go on the grill).

My husband brought home these from his grandfather's basement this winter, and they happen to be exactly what we'd been needing.  Who knows how many seasons of gardening they've already seen?

  1. When I needed to sift rocks out of the topsoil when making a new garden area, I looked everywhere for a source to buy a sifter and had no luck. So I made one myself, and it led to a hobby that has helped hundreds of people get just the type of sifter they need at a very low price: http://www.thesoilsifter.com More than a dozen different types and sizes to choose from!
