dude make a round one that turns that you just roll around, work smarter not harder couple of 5 gallon buckets cutin half with wire cloth between them.

LMAO , hell no

attach it to a dolly or a lawnmower tractor

There’s a reason they invented the wheel.

How about if you put it on 2x4 like a 🎿 and pull it I think it will work better

That's not called spreading peat moss that's called braking your back

Really wish I saw this yesterday! I attempted making my own rotary sifter, what a pain in the butt!!!!! Wasted all day making it “perfect” by the time I took it outside it was almost dark and I lost a freakin wheel…. So now I’m thinking this is a better idea BUT I’m going to put big wheels on it lol. I think my favorite thing to do to myself is “make something to save time and money” then I end up wasting time and money in the process 😅

Is there a maximum of humic acid that I can put onto my tall fescue lawn in a transition area? It's a summer and where I live the temperatures can get up to 100° or 110. I would love to put it down weekly but it worries me.

Awesome! Always respect the DIY mind!!!

Make plywood wheels with a couple of flat spots to make it bounce.

Use a wagon with grated bottom.

Will it work with composte

You could have just drilled holes in the tote and not used a screen at all. Could also have used the plastic garbage can: drill holes in the cylinder and then roll the can with the peat inside. Could also borrow a grocery cart from supermarket. Dump the peat in and roll the cart along.

Guy in my neighborhood did almost the same thing but put it in a wooden frame with wheels and tows it around his yard with his lawn mower, the bumps in the yard “shake” the compost out.

good video. free.99

Pretty cool idea. I think I might just do that.

Do you still have your craftsman dethatcther?

I have those exact containers to store tools and other stuff in my garage. I can imagine that a good amount of the peat moss ended up in your boots. I have spread it via shovel and it is slow going. I just might try this! Thanks buddy.

Thats looks like really hard work. So how about a rig on wheels? some sort of garden cart, put a mesh in the bottom and perhaps you can just pull it around on the lawn and let the natural vibrations shake it out? IT would also allow you to load up a full bale at a time, I think?

wow I am impressed with this. And it made me think of how I can do it easier.. wheels were spinning.. and guess what? Wouldn't be hard to borrow a shopping cart from a local store.. that thing should naturally rattle on a lawn.. i mean some of them frankly rattle on a smooth floor anyways.. im really curious if it will work. LOL

Add some weight like some cinder blocks in those notches on top, weighs it down makes night and day difference

Could you do this job using a drop spreader?

why dont you put it on a dolly and tap it as you roll it?

About how much square footage did you cover with those six bales??

This is hard to watch. I now realize spending the $200 on a compost roller is worth the money.

Here I am in the north west trying to kill moss in my lawn..

Thanks for this I threw out my back

That thing isn't doing shit lol

It’s like dusting confectioners sugar, albeit on a large scale! Nice for sifting of debris, but respectfully not for me, my noodle arms would fall off. Maybe good cardio though

What

Just built mine. 12 gallon tote used. Worked with topsoil too.

Just remember it gets lighter with every shake🤣🤣. Get some wheels to stick through the sides and one for up front. Make it a cart. Easier on the back and mind. Also what is the purpose of spreading the peat here?

Great video. Elderly couple on my street soon moving to FL set this on the curb. BRAND NEW! You better believe I snatched it. Can't wait to use it. 👍🏼

Less dog would be a good idea.

Lol...great idea but dang!!! Your already in good shape it apears!!!!

I was able to make the same peat moss spreader you did, but I added some wheels. I ran a 3/8 inch threaded metal rod ($4), bought some cheap plastic lawn mower wheels with at least 3/8 inch holes. And added two 3/8 inch nuts on the ends to cap off the axels. I’m currently trying to fix up a handle to pull it by. It rolls easy!!

Great video. I was thinking about using 1/4" chicken wire. Do you think the holes will be large enough for the pete moss to flow through the wire?

Three words to save your back....buy a landzie.

wheels both on the front and back and incorporate a vibration system to ensure you get an even spread. I would also mix the peat moss with seeds and use it to re-seed... Make it so it is only about five/six inches above the ground. Or in place of a vibration system; put a handle to push, stop, pull, push and continue with this method for an even spread...

Awesome shirt!!!!

This is great! I just bought all the materials for this spreader. Hey, did you throw the pete moss bag around before emptying it in the spreader? I do it all the time and its a lot lighter after tossing it around a few times.

I made this spreader over the weekend. Gave it a try for my overseed project. Not bad, only did 1 bale, using about 1/4 of the bale at a time. It was a little windy, but worked well enough. If I had to do 10+ bales, I'd buy the roller. But for the spot areas I was doing it was great. Going to use it at a friend house for his renovation, I'll let him do this part.

Could you drill holes on the narrow side and string some rope through and pull the container? Just a thought, would beat shaking it

I used a smaller bin and went with 1/4 inch chicken wire. Worked great

Put wheels on it by finding a rod to use as an axle, run it through the box lengthwise. Find some cheap wheels, attach them. Then McGyver something for a handle. You can then push it a ways, stop suddenly, back up a bit and repeat until you've spread the load. Possible alternative to stopping is to add "bumps" to the wheels so it thumps and causes release. ?

just fill up the wheel barrow get a 5 gallon container fill that up and scoop up with both hands

great vid!i liked it, any reason y ur spreading moss in the 1st place, not sure if i missed that in video, overseeding? also, what abot over lapping the wire mess with another set? to decrease the flow of moss dropping? thanks!

Will this work with manure?

Get a couple of barrow wheels and a handle and job done
