    Hi,

    Do we have anybody with time and skills to build a soil sifter? There are commercial ones available if somebody would like to donate.

    We have about 25 yards of clay content soil that's free but needs prep for finishing berms.

    I like the idea of one that sits on a wheelbarrow.

    Thank you.

    How soon would you need one built?

    One would really come in handy sooner before later.

    Thank you.

    William,

    I've got one similar to the ones in your links you can use; it isn't going to be much fun to run 25 yards through it, though.  I sort of assumed you had something mechanized in mind.  But I can leave it on my front porch and you can pick it up.
