The garden riddle Sieve is a great tool for removing stones and other debris from the soil.
This can prove to be very useful when you make your own potting mixture or are sifting compost from homemade materials to remove larger twigs and other matter that has not been broken down.
You can use a garden sieve to wash gravel, aquaponic, or hydroponic media, or to clean your homegrown produce before you bring it indoors. You can use smaller mesh sieves to separate seeds from chaff, if you wish to preserve your seeds for cooking or sow them in your garden next season.
It doesn’t matter what you use your garden riddle Sieve for, it’s important to pick the right one. Reclaimed wood frames and recycled fencing mesh can be used to make your own riddle sieve.
