 I use it for hunting shark teeth in Florida Aug 18, 2009
By Michael Smith
"Michael"
I've had this item for several years now. My wife and I take it with us to Venice, Florida, the Shark Tooth Capitol of the world. Using this sifter in the surf helps sift out the sand beautifully and makes finding fossilized shark teeth a snap. It's stainless steel so it won't rust in the salty water, except for the actual mesh itself, it'll rust if you don't keep it rinsed with fresh water. Its also very sturdy and has never bent or warped digging up 8-10 pounds of wet sand. I've used it off and on for over three years and it works great!

Soil Sieve saves soil-not just for Bonsai Jun 14, 2008
By Noreen M. Sullivan
Where has this been all my life! I do a lot of gardening and there are a lot of stones that made it difficult and I usually ended up throwing good soil away with the rocks. But no more. With the soil sieve I just fill it with soil, shake it and then throw the remaining stones away and am left with a beautiful pile of clean dirt. (I know-oxymoron) It's fast and kind of fun. My only suggestion would be they make it a little bigger. Don't be misled by "Bonsai". I use it outdoors and I have multiple gardens.

 Great for compost too Oct 05, 2010
By Andrew Wilcox
When you compost, the organic material will break down at different rates, so you end up with a pile that's mostly dirt but also contains things like wood that take longer to breakdown. This sieve is a great way to separate the dirt from the other things that are not-dirt-just-yet. I recently composted some leaves that had sat on my pea gravel driveway over the winter. Unfortunately, when I was raking up the leaves, I also raked up a lot of gravel. This sieve comes with three screens, so when I was shifting that compost pile, I choose a screen size that kept the gravel from falling through. Very handy indeed!
If you have a lot of compost, this is not the quickest way to separate the dirty from the not-dirt-just-yet. The reason I gave this item 4 stars and not five is that the walls of the sieve aren't very high which limits the amount of material you can sort through at one time. All-in-all a great product that I would certainly recommend to others.

What I've Wanted for Years May 09, 2010
By David H. Holliday
Trying to build one from scratch is nearly impossible. Now I've got a product good for the rest of my life, and it does what I expect: sift to levels of usefulness, from coarse to fine.
Only a flour sifter would be needed next.
FIVE STARS!

Good sieve for home use... Sep 26, 2011
By Greg C
I purchased this sieve set to use to sort worm castings from the worms and worm cocoons. The set is not industrial quality by no means, but should be stout enough for most home use. The sieve mesh is perfect for sorting out compost or castings and makes easy work of it if the mixture is not too wet. A big feature to this sieve is that it will fit perfectly into a five gallon bucket so you can process directly into the bucket. I am sure these will come in handy for several other yard jobs around the house.
