So happy I've built my latest garden "toy". Hope you enjoy the video!

@artistlovepeace Жыл бұрын

Perfect timing. I was just going to try and make something like this to sift a few bins of compost. Great instruction and demo. Thank you. Always a wonderfully positive channel with great content.

Nice to hear somebody else referring to gardening tools as toys😃, that's what I call them too 🤞. I might try making one a little smaller than the one you made - Ive been using an old plastic milk crate with cut out pieces of screen like the stuff you used on the bottom. Its easy to handle but probably wouldn't be good if you wanted large amounts of compost. Look forward to more videos and have fun playing😎

I almost said the same thing about admiring a women who knows how to use tools , but would probably only say it to close friends who wouldn't get creeped out or offended . Heck, she probably has more tools than I do and I'm a former Marine - My tool box consists of a hammer, a screw gun with all the different bits , a tape measure ,some vice grips and some allen wrenches lol

@Birdface-nw1ub Жыл бұрын

i made one of these, sifting all the compost takes a lot more time and energy than i thought! These work way better if you lay the compost to dry first, if it's wet it turns into mud balls on the mesh

@wendiland Жыл бұрын

Yeah I did had to leave it out a couple of days to dry. Overall this can be time consuming, but it's a necessary step for me if I want to mix compost with potting soil, and in the garden. Just call it a workout. Lol!

Nice looking sifter Wendi! That will surely make easier the task of sifting through seed starter mix too. Come to think of it, what seeds do I start today? Some more greens, maybe even a couple hot pepper house plants too. -Bob...

Your carpentry skills are improving. That thing will last you a long time. What was your total materials cost for this project?

@wendiland Жыл бұрын

I only had to purchase door handles and screw and inserts, total $20. Wood and wire mesh were left overs from previous projects.

@artistlovepeace Жыл бұрын

I've been using hand saws to cut up yard waste, branches and make bird houses. Why buy something when it only takes a few minutes and few cuts? You can get handsaws at garage sales and estates sales if you are into reusing stuff. Or ask some friends or people at work if they want to give you one.

@wendiland Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't get a tool just for a quick job either! But having something lighter is easier to work. I've always had a hard time using regular saw, just need to build up the skill I guess.
