- I take no credit for this concept. There are many videos showing different ways to accomplish the same end result.
I used what I had on hand, with the exception of the hardware cloth, and although it ain’t pretty, it works better than expected.
Sir, I saw a guy who did something kinda like this. However, he reinforced the ends with a bicycle rims. Made it very sturdy. Yours works well, just food for thought. Nice job!!!
Nicely done sir.
Looks like you have a nice place! Thanks for the video!
Very cool.
Nice job of re-purposing what you had on hand! Looks like it works well, although I wonder how the dust it throws off is affecting your lungs. Thanks for sharing this video!
Trash can lid is brilliant
Thanks, this sifter is in its second year of use and amazingly still holding together and working flawlessly. I thought it would fall apart after a few uses.
Yippie 🙋♀️ I have a cement mixer I bought at a yard sale.. and I have chickens… thank you thank you🏆
I like what you're doing
Genius!
Brilliant and I have the same mixer for making potting mix!
Good video man! Looking forward to more videos from ya! What zone are you in btw?
Thanks Brad, I’m in zone 6, coastal RI.
I wonder if the mixer part would breakdown leaves. I have very thick magnolia leaves and I saw a leaf shredder on Amazon but it wasn’t cheap.🤔
What about running a push mower over the pile of leaves a few times?
Put the leaves in a big container if you have a strimmer get a metal cutter and that shreds then really quickly or as someone else said put a lawn mover over them, the strimmer works fine for me and really breaks things down, I then put it all in a huge worm bin I have and let the worms do the composting
I want to do this with my mixer, but don't have access to concrete wire. Nobody giving metal away...
