Product Description

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.

With a drum that measures 15cm deep by 40cm wide, the unit stands 20cm off the ground and requires simple home assembly

* Metal rotary compost sieve * 8mm mesh * Easy to use * Spring loaded handle

22 customers mention ‘Effectiveness’18 positive4 negative

Customers like the sieve's effectiveness. They say it does the job, is easy to assemble and operate. However, some mention it works best when partially filled to prevent breaking.

"Easy to build, flimsy construction, but works a treat...." Read more

21 customers mention ‘Composting time’21 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the composting time. They say it makes separating compost easier, saves hours sifting compost when compared with the traditional way, and produces great ready-to-use compost. The sifted compost is fine, but beware of creating a fertile environment. It's a useful garden sieve that helps extend bought and home made compost for planting vegetables, plants, and shrubs.

"...It’s a very simple and effective device. It works with compost too." Read more

"...as one would like for seeds and seedlings - this device saves hours of sifting time when compared with the traditional way - and gets seed compost..." Read more

Customers like the compost quality. They say it works well with dry soil and compost. It turns mud into powder, separates soil from gravel, and breaks soil into a fine consistency.

"...It has saved so much time and back breaking work. not only breaking up the soil but also sorts stones and weeds for sorting...." Read more

"Easy to build, flimsy construction, but works a treat...." Read more

"Firstly, the unit arrived in parts with no instructions, so be prepared to have to put it together...." Read more

"Looked great on assembly however the tiny nut and bolt which assembles the handle to the stirrer bar is totally inadequate, it broke on the first..." Read more

7 customers mention ‘Soil sidling’3 positive4 negative

Customers have different views on the soil sidling. Some find the raised sieve useful even without the rotating bar, and the rotary sieve makes sifting easier. Others say it doesn't sieve effectively, doesn't get to the edges, and leaves soil on the edges, which is frustrating.

"...Instructions could be better, does not get to the edges as does miss and gather soil there." Read more

"...The rotary sieve is brilliant ...." Read more

"...Used my cable to secure it. The other reviews that leave soil on the edges is a bit frustrating as the point is that it’s to go through the bottom...." Read more

"...However the raised sieve has been useful even without the rotating bar." Read more

8 customers mention ‘Sturdiness’0 positive8 negative

Customers are unhappy with the product's sturdiness. They mention the fastening on the underside broke and popped out of the sieve. The handle can unwind and come loose if not tightened on well. Some find the knob gradually comes off. The round rubber ball keeps coming off, and the ball handle unscrews every time you use it. There are also issues with the paint falling off in sheets and rust bubbling through.

"...I managed to work it out but there are few issues: The ball handle unscrews every time you use it...unless you over tighten the ball...." Read more

"...As someone has already mentioned, the knob gradually comes off. Solutions - turn the handle anti-clockwise or lessen the grip on the knob...." Read more

"...the handle to the stirrer bar is totally inadequate, it broke on the first attempt...." Read more

"...The knob on the handle can unwind and come loose if its not tightened on well (but don't overtighten)...." Read more

So much easier than using a handheld riddle.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2024
Verified Purchase
Got this after digging 40 or so 30cm cubed holes to plant a bare-root hedge. Should have bought it after digging the first hole. Riddling, or sieving, the earth to be able to put it back stone-free was back-breaking until I got this little device. It fits perfectly into a wheel barrow and is very easy to use. Some reviews said that the assembly and usage instructions weren’t clear but that’s not the case; it’s a simple device and the instructions were easy to follow. Other reviews said that the knob on the handle unscrewed as you rotated it; again, not my experience. It’s a very simple and effective device. It works with compost too.

It works

Easy to build, flimsy construction, but works a treat.
I use it in a trug that is just the right size, I can load it up on the floor, sit on a chair and turn it to sieve.
Trick is to just turn it anticlockwise so the knob does not unscrew.
No bother with it missing the edges, just push down and turn the handle, so, so much easier than shaking a sieve, a pleasure to use. My compost was damp and had lumps in it but it handled it well.
Recommend.

Much beater than shaking a sieve, but...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2021
Verified Purchase
After years of backache from standing bent using a hand sieve, I decided to splash out on this rotary model.
It was simple to assemble and seems pretty study, though I suspect it will rust if not kept fairly clean and dry.
There’s definitely a knack to using it (assuming that, like me, you stand next to a compost bin with the sieve placed on a wheelbarrow). Use an oscillating motion rather than a circular one (this stops roots and twigs being wound around the spindle). Give it a shake every few seconds. And now and then, scoop up the compost that’s packed itself around the perimeter. I throw in 3-4 spadefuls of compost in each time.
I’m slightly surprised that the blade (it’s actually a rod) doesn’t reach to the very perimeter of the sieve, nor to the bottom. There may be a reason for this, but it’s beyond me. There’s a spring on the handle to lift the rod up; this loses tension very quickly, but this doesn’t actually matter much.
Overall, then, it’s quicker than hand sieving, but not by much. But the enormous plus is that you can lean on the crossbar with one hand while turning the handle with the other, thus preventing any strain going through your back. This alone makes it worth the price. (I reckon that in 20 minutes I’d produced the equivalent of £5-6 worth of compost, so you could argue that it would soon pay for itself.)

Thought it would be better
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2021

Firstly, the unit arrived in parts with no instructions, so be prepared to have to put it together. I had limited time to do the job so couldn’t contact supplier and had to get on with it. Really annoying!
I managed to work it out but there are few issues:
The ball handle unscrews every time you use it...unless you over tighten the ball.
The base and sieve seems sturdy enough but the fastening on the underside broke and popped out of the sieve when I first used it. I didn’t have a choice but to carry on as I had to get the job done.
It did work but I still have a slightly broken mechanism, which I plan to fix...and improve on!

Saves hours sifting compost when compared with the traditional way!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2022
Verified Purchase
Seed sowing compost is not as fine as one would like for seeds and seedlings - this device saves hours of sifting time when compared with the traditional way - and gets seed compost even finer! Very pleased with it - even used it to wash gravel that the 'RHS packet' stated had already been washed (not as clean as the RHS had suggested). The only thing that comes off now and again, is the black knob on the rotating arm - so the technique is not to hold onto it too tight and let it move under your hand, when rotating. Works best when partially filled, so never fill it to the top or it might break something. An excellent product which I would thoroughly recommend & well worth paying the price for the time (& arm aches) it saves - DCM

Brilliant piece of garden kit! It has saved so much time and back breaking work. not only breaking up the soil but also sorts stones and weeds for sorting. You are then left with clear soil. it has helped extend bought and home made compost for planting veg, plants and shrubs which has been great during lockdown. wish I had bought one earlier. Only down side as it is so easy and efficient you can over-do it so watch your shoulder! We stood it in the wheel barrow which it fitted well and made it higher and much easier to use. Easy to put together and value for money.

Watch for loose nuts and bolts !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2021
Verified Purchase
I made sure all nuts and bolts were tightened on assembly but after two hours or so (first use) I noticed that a nut and bolt set had disappeared. Try searching for these tiny things! Inspection showed another set loose. The fault seems to be low-quality spring washers which stay compressed. Luckily, I have plenty of spare, good quality, spring washers.
As someone has already mentioned, the knob gradually comes off. Solutions - turn the handle anti-clockwise or lessen the grip on the knob.
Otherwise, good for use with small gravel and earth and easier on the back.
